    Want to buy Alta Vault - Display guard

    You could also contact @Rashid510 about a backup display. I run the 'new' version on my bike with the original safely tucked away in the garage. It's a lighter and more reliable way to get a little piece of mind while riding.

    Range on Moab-type slickrock?

    That is actually my plan. I've only got the one day, and am SEVERELY out of shape, so I think a few Slickrock loop will be the way to go. I'll see if I can get some SOC and mileage data for the loop and bring it back here. Wasn't really planning to bring my multitool, but I'll see about it.

    Range on Moab-type slickrock?

    Great! Sounds like I can just rip around on rocks all day, and bring out my other bike if I want to ride dunes. Thanks for the insight!

    Range on Moab-type slickrock?

    After a few years on my EX, I've got a pretty good handle on my range, and how it changes from tight single track, to open double track to moto tracks. However, I'm finally getting out to Moab for a quick trip this weekend, and I'm curious how the unique terrain is going to affect my range. If...

    Just a reminder about our bikes

    They are great. I haven't been able to ride for a few months, but finally got out on novice moto track this weekend with my EX... and wow, I love this bike! Before my few month hiatus, I had been riding my Alta pretty exclusively, so was much more focused on the fault/flaws that I've been...

    For Sale Have Qty 6 New Rapid Charger 2103883-00

    Does anyone (like @Rashid510) know if the rapid chargers have a separate AC-DC inverter and DC-DC boost converter for the 350V or whatever voltage goes to the bike? I've been kicking around the idea of making a battery pack generator replacement, but haven't wanted to tear apart my perfectly...

    Colorado vacation next week

    Step 1: Bring your Alta Step 2: Go here - Colorado Trail Explorer (COTREX) Anything highlighted in green (all year) or brown (summer only) is somewhere you can ride on any bike with an out of state OHV permit, and you can ride on any roads you want if you have a plate. CO is pretty chill about...

    Complete plug and play replacement displays now available

    Finally got a chance to ride with the new display. It's super clear and easy to read (easier than stock!), so well done there! Feels great not worrying about "bricking" the bike forever if I crash and break the display. I did notice some weird stuff which got me thinking: What firmware does...

    21" knobbies with SM brakes... how bad of an idea is this?

    No, she's not very experienced. But she is really into electrics, and doesn't like to ride very far... so the SM seems like a great street bike for her. It would replace her Honda CB300F. When we hit the dirt, I would give her the EX. Since we go slow, I could probably screw around on the SM...

    21" knobbies with SM brakes... how bad of an idea is this?

    Ah, yeah that makes sense. I had not considered spoke clearance as an issue... I've use the SM caliper on my EX, but only with my 17" wheels. So it would be 17" knobbies if I want to take the SM in the dirt... at that point, I think I would just ride the sketchy SM and give my better half the...

    21" knobbies with SM brakes... how bad of an idea is this?

    So I've got myself pretty much sold on picking up the SM currently for sale in Colorado. Going to check it out Saturday. As we can all agree: this is a good idea and I should buy it. However, this would leave me with 2 dirt bikes: my EX and the SM. I would like to be able to bring my wife dirt...

    The Storm Bee is out!

    Wow, what a great step forward... or at least getting us closer to where things were before Alta closed! @aremean79 - when you say that the bike is capable of taking a 150v battery, do you mean it can take 2 of the the 90V 48AH batteries, or will there be a different 150V battery with a lower...

    Factory developed Redshift MX suspension shim stack specs (UPDATED)

    So I ended up re-springing and re-valving the front forks on the EX with the factory developed MX stack. Thanks @Philip. No other internal fork mods, just a new shim stack, springs, and oil height for the front... Wow, what a change! The bike feels totally different, and all in a good way...

    Hamburgers are derived from the metric food unit of Hamburg. Better would be to count them in Venison Burger.

    It's a 72v system. Check out the image from the front page: The image next to this one on that page also shows a 48v version that is limited to 20kW. Also, it does not appear that they are selling a bike or battery, just "drive-train components" and tires. If anyone wants to know more, I'm...

    Factory developed Redshift MX suspension shim stack specs (UPDATED)

    Awesome @Philip ! Could you PM me the stack? Also, I've been dialing in the stock EX settings over the spring and summer. Got it running pretty good but a blew a fork seal, so I figured I should do valves and springs while I'm in there. Plus, the front rebound clicker is all the way in and I'm...

    Interesting... selling just the motor and controller (plus accessories) seems like a smart call for them. Less convenient if you are buying from them, but this is a great setup for a project bike. The limited power, but sweet aircooled motor would make a really nice vintage bike build. I wonder...
