Remember it was discussed before, and something had to do with the measured resistance.. I am preparing my bike (Redshift EX) for the annual test / exam. They check the headlight. For some reason the main light does not stay on for more the a second or two after turning the light on. The lamp...

Curious as a hypothetical question - How would Alta have handled the wire bond issue in the R packs? They were able to replace all packs? We know that fixing the broken wire bonds is not enough. This is quite an expensive repair, and we are not talking about few dozens bikes, but many more...

I remember trying the Erzberg fw on my EX. Did not like the "hill hold" mode as it prevented any subtle rearward motion, causing few nasty falls. Could not use "tractor mode" for some reason (perhaps it does not work on EX / EXR models?). Anyone tried it and can report back? The Varg have its...

I’ve been riding the Alta Redshift for 6 years, a very powerful and high-quality electric motorcycle. Enduro rider only. my son (16) joined me with his new Soron Ultra-B... Here's my summary: For off-road riding with the Suron, we replaced the original 18-inch rear wheel (We got the R model...

Here is a Alta (Hirchmanm) throttle tear down by an electrician. He explains well what differ it from other throttles -

I remember trying the Erzberg fw on my Redshift EX. Apart from "hill climb" mode (bike will not roll back when stopping in a middle of a climb), did not notice anything special. Read that there is a "clutch pop" function in map 2 in this firmware. Could be useful for hard Enduro. Anyone...

Cake recently announced their new model- Bukk. It's an almost (not quite) full size bike, 72v 50A battery. Ohlins rear suspension and WP front. Weighs 85 kg (Alta for reference is 120kg). It has the unique Cake appearance without being weird looking like previous models. I love its low weight...

Managed to break my EX's handlebar. The stock one is Neken R00182. I won't be able to find it locally. Any recommendations for a Rental or Protaper? These are everywhere. I like the geometry of the stock handlebar, so it shoudn't be too far off. Thanks.

Bike fell to the left while standing unprovoked in my garden. Turns out the kickstand's pivot bolt broke / snapped in the middle. This kickstand have a lot of weight on its shoulders, and it did lean to the left side more than it should. Now I have to drill the bolt in order to replace it. I...

Perhaps someone encountered the problem I am dealing with with my EX: after a charge, the throttle stops working. sometimes it's working intermitently, and now not at all. re- flashed the bike's firmware couple of times, replaced throttle with a new one, went through the harness' connectors...

the Storm Bees started selling in Israel, so I had a chance to test ride it off road and compare it to my Redshift EX. the bike I tested is the road legit enduro model (18 & 21 inch tires). it weighs about 127 kg (similar to the Alta) but feels a bit lighter. the ergonomics are surprisingly...

My son got an Oset 24R for his 13th birthday (Bar Mitzva). We had the best time riding enduro today together. the Oset & Alta played along nicely, and it was obvious that things that I learn in 3 weeks, he gets in 3 minutes. this is his 2nd ride ever on a dirt bike. He did really great.

I followed a forum's member (VINSANITY) idea of modifying the throttle grip to half. this modification should eliminate one of the main problems I had with the Redshift - Whiskey throttle. since there is no clutch to cut the throttle when needed, and no gear to keep the power contained, I found...

Looks like I may need stiffer springs for my weight (WP 4cs, 2018 stock EX). I weigh 93 kg (203 pounds) without gear, and ride enduro only. Anyone knows the stock spring rate?

My friend just got his new 2021 Energica Eva. Quite a machine. He upgraded to Ohlins suspensions (stock is Marzzoci), and few other upgrades. Everything on the bike screams high quality, quite a machine. Having said that, the feature I like the most is its reverse mode, brilliant.

Rough terrain. Tough day.

Finished installing the click'n ride turn signal lights. Pull them out when going off road, and insert them in for road use. Works great, a real high qaulity product. For 55$ (Amazon), I suggest grabbing a set - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CGH7JZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hvhwFbD5CR1RR

My EX's front suspenion is stock, and work pretty well for slow technical riding. Very soft & forgiving. Problem arises when I ride faster, the front washes easily from loose rocks and other obstacles. My worst falls occurred when riding faster on fire roads and single tracks, having the front...

This 16 years old Israely rider is the number 1 rider in Israel. He competed not long ago in Romaniacs (Gold category) and finished in 16 place, If I am not mistaken. One hell of a rider. Short video worth watching -

Would like to try a 140/80 rear tire (Kenda Gauntlet K779) on my EX. I now use the Kenda Equilibrium which is great for the winter, but looking now for loose dirt + rocks. Suitable tire (gummy). Had to add 2 links to the chain in order to fit the Equilibrium. Anyone tried a 140/80?
