The suspension is not bad, front forks were a little soft at first. I am still trying to get my suspension dialed.
And the no clutch thing is not that big of a deal for me.
The biggest draw back is the recharge time or time you can ride on a battery, how ever you want to look at it. You kinda need a 2nd bike when you go to the track to ride when you are re charging it.
Hope that helps! I would highly recommend riding one
The Shop
Too expensive for what it is.
And a street version is cool, but again, engines are allowed.
An Alta will be the next bike I buy.
In the long term? Nothing. Bring it on. eBikes are the future and I firmly believe they will save the sport. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably also thinks global warming is a bunch of hog wash.
btw.... anyone who hasn't listened to Matthes interview with DC somewhere around hour 2-3 of this weeks PulpMX Show about DC's experience ripping an Alta around High Point and his thoughts on where all this eBike stuff is headed - I highly, highly recommend you give it a listen. Good stuff.
- Cost
Recharge time on the (I can fill up my tank in a matter of a minute)
Then Price.
I need 70-80 miles of range-with no drop in performance...if they had that much range, I wouldn't care as much about the recharge time...but it still wouldn't work for desert racing when the mileages hit triple digits sometimes.
$$$$$
Pit Row
On a more practical and economical sense I can get a good condition used YZ 125 for what $2500-3500, a new one for around $5300. I don't want a KTM or Husky, just brand preference.
The Alta is appealing, except the price and the limit on ride time. I am also curious as to how they do in the mud (puddles), will they hold up okay or is pretty much if there is standing water you don't ride.
Recharge times
Weight it's still to heavy
No transmission
No clutch
Price!
Range, need be at least 1hr.
Weight, need be below 225lbs
Meet that criteria and I will be an ALTA owner.
I'd like the ability to tune it, like I can with a yzf or kxf. I feel like it should be way easier with this bike than any other.
I enjoy the sound of the motor on my bikes
Range
Charge time
My next bike might just be an Alta. I'm sick of oil filters and gas.
