Some history I just found…
Alta Motors makes the most powerful off-road electric dirt bike that you can actually buy right now. There are several competitors that make a similar and adequate product, but when it comes to power? Alta is currently in the lead.

”The “D” in BRD stood for Derek Dorresteyn. He is an experienced off-road racer (his uncle is
Dick Mann, who is in the AMA hall of fame, and his father Bill was a flat-track racer). He was the owner of a machine shop, plus…he taught classes in 3D design and
CNC machining. so…he is VERY familiar with how to make high-quality parts from scratch [when he decides he wants something] and…nobody else is making it yet. Derek is not only an avid dirt biker, and also has an engineering degree. He now holds the ambiguous title of Alta’s “Chief Technology Officer” (CTO).”
