The only thing Alta did wrong was not making a full on electric dirt bike with good suspension. Would love an electric motor in a ktm /honda frame. Batteries are so good now that they charge 70% in 25 minutes and last many years. Sweet video.
@mikeh4232 жыл бұрын
The Alta suspension is KTM suspension. Yes it is valved soft, but that is an easy fix. Any place that does WP suspension can make it like you want it. The Alta has a single reduction gear between the motor and the sprocket shaft. No clutch. I didn’t think I would like riding one until I tried it, I actually thought I would hate it. Turns out it is freaking amazing. The Alta feels like riding a modern KTM with tons of tractable power. You can put it in map 1 and let your kids or wife ride it, or map 4 and hang with any dirt bike ever made. I can’t afford multiple bikes, and I want a new fuel injected KTM, so I am considering selling my Alta.
