KTM Electric

[Bionicman]

The fact that KTM is testing electric bike(s), and has already built at least one electric model, and bought / buying Alta all-electric bikes for tear downs and testing, they are clearly interested.

So did H-D....

“Buelling assistance”

Harley Davidson - the equivalent of the grim reaper to American motorcycle manufacturers.

Italked to a ing. from KTM who runs this Development of the Kids e-bike he said that they have 2 Altas at KTM Lab and i got some tips from him to pass the EMC Test . So maybe the bought a 2019 EXR there was on in BHV in a box with adress KTM Auistria on it , when i picked up mine

Interesting! As far as I know we got only one here at our R&D edrivetrain department and that's a 2017 MX. The one you saw could be mine...but for private purpose

Ironically, Eric Buel and Alta have something in common. Getting and then loosing support from HD.

I never did understand how the tie up between Alta and HD was going to be useful to either company. The results, however depressing, didn't come as a surprise.

I think it was that whole $50,000,000.00 dollars Harley had pledged to Alta would have been useful for Alta to stay running and sustainable. And the shift of the whole situation is, I believe Alta was getting close to being self sustaining when everything shit the bed.

ill say it again: fuck HD and their fat shitty bikes. If you want an overweight, 3x overpriced alta wanna-be go harley

Let it out, it’s best not to hold these things in!

I appreciate your subtle, understated approach. Echoes my precise attitude towards the brand.

Harley has one foot in the grave if it makes anyone feel better.

Me too, and they do. No vehicle gets purchased and tested unless it is a direct competitor to some current or potential future product that already has a budget assigned to it.

 

[VINSANITY]

I now can’t stand anything from Wisconsin - Packers yech, Miller Beer (some German fake beer), cheese curds that drop your IQ - Harley is a canibal and should not be allowed to be an American company.

Hoping BRP does something useful with the technology

We would love to hear your development story, and I'm sure many of us would be interested in hearing more about your continued efforts.

+1 !

I am very curious to know what power/weight numbers were you able to achieve on this DIY build, once you have your 5.3 kWh battery.

What Philip said.

 

[try_all]

Power/weight will be identical to Alta

If you use Zero motor and sevcon controller and a 5+kw battery I doubt the wheight. Will it be aircolled?
