    Alta - Stark rant

    lol, I was thinking the same thing. Yes, pick up a Redshift. Also cut Stark some slack. This shit is haaaaard. Also, @Rashid510, you’re a goddamn hero.

    MX and SMR Stolen in SF Last Night (6-17/18-2020)

    Been two years but I’m going to bump this on the odd chance that the VINs turn up. Reminder: SMR (2018 EX converted to SM and R drivetrain, on-board charger) VIN 56PARACM1JB00078 in white, and a 2016 MX VIN 56PARABM6HB000010 in white.

    Does anyone want the faster-faster.com domain?

    LOL. Had a lot of moments like that over the last two years. Thankfully, this one is relatively low on the trauma scale.

    Does anyone want the faster-faster.com domain?

    I can't. Altamotors.co was part of the BRP purchase and is not managed under my personal account, and if it were it should have been transferred to BRP.

    Does anyone want the faster-faster.com domain?

    Our original URL (pre-dating the Alta Motors name), faster-faster.com expired but I think can still be recovered. If anyone on this site wants it and will take over the payments, I can flip it back on and transfer it for the fees owed (guessing but can't see that it's $15-25 of annual fees)...

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    Regarding the bleed, I had better luck with a bottom bleed. Top could be done with our shop vacuum bleeder and constant air, but for home the bottom bleed with a syringe worked better for me.

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    Bumping this old thread to corroborate (as said CEO) that I requested the change to 10mm from 9mm. Not a supply issue, much more of a feel issue. I wanted to make sure that the front and rear brakes had a similar level of firmness and pressure to lock up. (Given more weight and traction on the...

    MX and SMR Stolen in SF Last Night (6-17/18-2020)

    Incredibly, no. Which is why people use that spot for shady deals. From what was seen, the plate and graphics are gone (so it's all white bodywork) as are the shrouds. But it was on supermoto wheels, and the coincidence is too high for it to not be my bike. I think they must have hotwired It...

    MX and SMR Stolen in SF Last Night (6-17/18-2020)

    SMR was spotted in SF at Potrero Safeway parking lot partially torn down (I’m assuming to Hotwire since dude rode away on it). Neither me nor PD got there fast enough...

    They stole the charger too. They knew what they were doing.

    MX and SMR Stolen in SF Last Night (6-17/18-2020)

    Looks like we have footage from across the street. Reviewing now. Cameras in garage it turns out we’re dummies. Thanks Chandler Property Management. :rolleyes:. unfortunately the MX wasn’t insured... dumb, but I never bothered for my off-road bikes. ironically that bike got stolen once before...

    MX and SMR Stolen in SF Last Night (6-17/18-2020)

    Both my Redshifts were stolen in San Francisco last night. Locked garage, and locked cage within the garage. Be on the lookout for an SMR (2018 EX converted to SM and R drivetrain, on-board charger, pics below) VIN 56PARACM1JB00078 with one-off Mondrian graphics, and a 2017 MX VIN...

    All Seven Alta Patents

    Hi all, I know I've been mum in the forums lately and there are much more pressing things that everyone would like me to comment on... alas I *still* cannot. So in the meantime, I'll chime in here because I can. I love all the effort to dig in and try to understand what we did and didn't do...

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Thank you Alta We Believe!!

    Thanks, guys. Despite the blackout on info (and the little info that leaks seeming full bonkers... like the EV West deal), it ain't over yet. Can't thank you enough for all of the support.

    EXR (Better) Headlight thread.

    I'm currently in the process of putting the Halo LED onto my personal ride - same exact Polisport shroud but a KOSO LED fixture in place of the incandescent one. It requires replacing the stock Polisport connector with an H4 male and an inline resistor to not trigger an ACM fault. Don't know the...

    New Alta article, any corrections?

    There were actually four! Dave was an engineer fresh out of university so was a junior member of the team, but he was there before I was so we all felt he deserved the co-founder title as well. The word is free and I think Silicon Valley places way too much exclusivity on it - whole lawsuits...

    Change in the way Alta is advertising torque

    We used to publish torque at the countershaft because that was the best way to compare to direct-drive electrics. The reality is most of our customers are not cross-shopping Altas vs other electrics - they're shopping vs gas bikes. Gas bikes measure torque at the crank so measuring our torque at...

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    Oh also, something about tires. Still not sure what that something is, but this is what the front half of the race did to a set of softs...
