Pretty neat Luke, how long will that one stay stock?

Nice Fetcher, did you have overheating issues before? No, not really. But a cooler motor is more efficient. Before adding the fins, the motor would get pretty hot after a long run but not so hot you couldn't hold your hand on it. At lower speeds climbing hills, heating will be more of an issue. The...

Nice Fetcher, did you have overheating issues before?

In steep areas such as where I live, the regenerative breaking from the sine wave controller does make a difference. A ride that was about 8 miles and 2400 vertical feet took 31% of my battery getting up there. Getting home with the regen breaking took 0% battery even though I gave it some throttle...

So if one was to say the effective range of the SurRon is between 20 and 50 miles, that would be an accurate statement. That sounds about right to me. If I ride on the street mostly full throttle I can get somewhere between 25-30 miles range. If I kept the speed down to under 15mph, I'm sure it wou...

I see your point about the mileage. Probably closer to 30 miles max. Really liked your vids Kim, also, thats a nice shiny read SurRon you got there. The potential range can be subjective for sure. I know with the 55T on my old green one, I could easily get 25 miles off road where I ride, but thats ...

Hey Jay, Alpha looks tough. May go that route some day with my next build. Beta looks good too. Glad you are getting back around.

At CD, nice parts, getting creative with the accessories.

The SurRon is a gateway drug, after owning mine for 5 months, I went out and bought an Alta Redshift EXR because I liked E motorcycles so much. I probably wouldn't have gotten the EXR if it wasn't for the SurRon. To add to that, I would have never bought the SurRon if it wasn't for owning Stealth E...

Are you sure the bearings aren't 7mm wide? 20mm x 32mm x 7mm seems to be a very common size you can find tons of on eBay for cheap.
This size is labeled 6804.

It may be 7mm instead of 6mm. I will need to check mine later this week.

Hi sorry not sure if this is the right place but I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my light bee. Has anyone else done this yet? They look like they use the same axle as mountain bike hubs so I'm wondering if they are just mountain bike wheel bearings? Probably plastic if the headsets an...

Endurocross in Denver last night... and they announced that Alta shut down? Anyone else heard that news?

EDIT. link to confirmation. That sucks
https://www.cycleworld.com/alta-motors- ... operations

Don't think the fat lady has sung yet. Next week or 2 will be interesting.

Now a MXR can do a full moto with a Pro on it and last the whole race plus a few hot laps with no thermal problems. This is absolute complete and total bullshit and you are very much misinformed. The 2018 Redshift MXR at our track overheats in like 4 laps with the owner or my friend riding it. Neit...

This is true, but I think the issue with Alta will be resolved very quickly. I sure hope it is. Dude!!! Me too. I have 20k sitting here from Selling my 1969 road runner which is ear marked for our Performance Model 3... But I am temped to get the Alta while I wait for the rest of my money to come i...

Hard to tell if the video you posted is the real deal or if this was a review made by a rider that has not yet gotten used to the power delivery of the MXR. If you see the comments below there are two that kind of says he is all wrong about most of it, including the overheating. And the weight dist...

The tires, brake pads, and chains/sprockets are general purpose items, so they will remain available from a third-party seller. I am curious about what parts are "Alta-specific", and might wear out. Buy a spare of X, Y, and Z...if you own an Alta. They appear to be pretty wonderful. Just the chain ...

That guy rides way, way better than either of you, arlo or macribs. The overheating isn't an opinion or bad guess on weight distribution it's a unavoidable consequence of someone riding the bike hard. Multiple people (all fast) have ridden the bike and had the same issue. The owner brings it out ev...

As I type this, the un-official word is Alta already has a new investor/owner. More information will be made available within the next week or so. Even though KTM makes the E-Ride, my wild guess hunch is the new investor/owner could possibly be KTM. I base this on the fact that alot of KTM dealers a...

Well I guess thats how it goes. Now matter how the future look it is always business as usual as long as there is hope. Anything else would be at risk of causing more damage and put an extra strain on an already tough situation. While you spoke at someone on the customer department, I bet the manag...

If you want to come up to Crouch you can take mine out for a spin. It has the X Controller. I agree - the regen engine breaking effect is a huge game changer for me. You are also correct about better range, throttle response and being quieter. That'd be amazing! Only an hour drive or so to pop up t...

Where is Jay at? Send pms, need order a 1 frame?

Hit him up on FB. He's in the process of building up a bigwheel 85 KTM with a potential peak power of 30KW.

The $60 delivery was included the total with delivery was $2,055.
$900 more than China assembled pack.
$1,500 cheaper then stealth but little bit less power
At 22s vs 20s .

Let us know how it works for you.
