Are their batteries more energy-dense than Zero's Z-Force battery packs?
And are they planning to build something in sport-touring trim - fairing with adjustable windscreen, tour-cycle size bags, cruise control, etc. - and what would the real-world range and recharge time be?
I've been waiting for Zero to make something like that, but they seem to love the naked-bike look too much, and everyone else (Mission, Lightning, etc.) are into sport bikes. My latest BMW RT is showing is age, and I really don't want to buy another one. Electric is exactly the tool for the job for San Francisco's hills and traffic, but I need to be able to ride down Skyline, out to the coast and back on a single charge, and really want to be able to get to Sacramento or at least Santa Cruz; I can rent the latest beemer for my annual Pacific Northwest and Los Angeles trips.
The first company to make an electric moto that meets my Bay Area/NorCal riding needs gets my money. -
totalyy shitttttttttt bikee lol

I think most of you are missing the point completely , this will allow enduro X , super X moto X racing within cities and towns with zero noise constraints , the one thing causing the most damage to our sport is noise ! I live on a 2 acre block with an enduro X track , for this the Alta would be awesome , I already have the kids on e bikes .

I can't ride no more after the battery dies lol
-
I race Motocross lol it would last like 30 min then your dun can't charge it at the track

Range?? Range?? Range??....They always leave that out of the ads and and videos.....If they're that ashamed of the battery performance, IMPROVE IT BEFORE BRAGGING ABOUT THE REST!!!🐫🐪

"wheels, tires"

-
ya if it had a trans what would b the top speed?
-
badass shit I have seen!!! love it

Are you planning to build neoclassics motorbikes like the triumph street twin or moto guzzi V7 II special? These motorbikes are Much more expensive so the difference in price between yours and conventional will be smaller.
Great product! Good luck! -
"Frequent engine rebuilds?!" I'd like to know your definition of frequent. Saying that you need to rebuild either two-stoke or 4 stoke motors frequently is pure BS and you know it.

what would be the probable MSRP for this bike?

makes me sick

I would really like to see a real world test. Take 2 bikes - The Alta bike and a gas powered bike that is comparative speed/power wise.
Fill the gas powered bike to the top.
Side by side race the bikes on a descent track.
When the electric bike's power drops off to a level where it is no longer competitive.
Stop the gas powered bike and see how much gas was used.
This way we can see the equivalent in distance from a full E-charge compared to gas driven. -
How sprockets and chains? I think you go through those with that much low end torque.
-
They said it comes in two forms, one a motocrosser......
Is the other a supermoto? -
I like electronic bikes I'd buy one but not an electronic car
-
Ha! give those bikes one year and the company will run out of buisness no one wants to spend that kind of money on something you have to charge every half an hour
