And is the amateurs using the Alta in the races..? Or maybe because is not able to race in PRO the amateurs don´t used...
Not buying the dudes complaining about maintenance. Oil and air filters are not a big deal and not time consuming. We also knew about them going in to the game. Check and adjusting valves Is also not a big deal like it was with first four stroke mc bikes.
The only argument I’m down with is the dude that said he could build a track and ride with out upsetting his neighbors where he can’t with the 450. I can get behind that

In all honesty, when they can be ridden all day then perhaps I think about purchasing one. I doubt it though. As it is now, buying an extra battery is like....years worth of fuel and oil for my bike. Changing a battery during a race doesn't sound like fun either. For weekend rides it would require multiple batteries and/or a generator. No thanks.
I give no shits what anyone says. Especially some ex pro. I think all this crazinesss is a form of vitrue signaling.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with ICE powered moto bikes so none of this males any sense on it's face and all this is just pointless circle jerking. Exactly what problem are these things supposed to fix? Sound? That's it? I've gpt news for you, non rider enviromentalists give no fucks. They won't suddenly embrace the sport because all the sudden there are e-bikes. The law of unintended consquenses is immutable. And just wait until a day at the track is a $100 because of the upgrades and sudden electrical costs associated. Do any tracks currently offer free fuel? But they'll have to now.
Make an e series like F1 and let it stand alone and see where the public actually stands on this but trying your damdest to ruin the sport l love with glorified Power Wheels just pisses me off.
Again, just MY opinion.
First, enough people must actually purchase these bikes in numbers high enough to hurt the existing 4 stroke sales
the powers that be currently offer.
Then, the big manufacturers must actually believe and decide these are the future.
Then, they must decide how/if they can make enough money on the numbers they believe the public will actually buyto keep the factory doors open. The lack of maintance and parts needed to keep the juicer bikes going may play a big part in this decision.
I mean hey, if nobody needs pistons, valves, camshafts, heads, cylinders, transmissions bla bla bla, how they gonna make anything after the sale?
Then, they must design, retool, aquire the materials, deal with the patents crap.......
Then they need to get the rules changed,
10 years minimum.
The reason I posted the pick of two of the toughest motocrosser's when men were men, was because of this comment from a previous post...
"Also, some of us couldn't wait to grow up to be men and ride real bikes that shifted.
No man would ever be caught on an "automatic" bike."
Those two were a man's man and after riding the Alta, they loved it. Just sayin'...
Just trying to educate, not preach. Didn't say there was anything wrong with ICE bikes. Alta was not created to save the environment. The lack of sound is just a by product of an electric motor. It was created with an electric moto to give the bike more instant power. Also as stated earlier, to work on it less and ride more.
As for the tracks offering free fuel for e bikes. There are some in Texas that have already installed 220 hook ups for e bikes for free.
Concerning the Alta having a single gear reduction. While it only has one gear, mode 1 is fairly tame, mode 2 has pretty decent acceleration, mode 3 pours it on even more and mode four definitely needs a man to handle to power delivery.
Again its not for everybody, and ICE bikes have nothing to worry about. But I will say this, everybody that I have seen take a demo ride on an Alta comes off the bike with a huge smile and isn't that why we ride. I'm not trying to force feed the "E bike craze" down people throat's. However, it would be interesting to hear the opinions of the skeptics after they took a test ride.
i certainly never read more than 2 lines before it became obvious. and never will.
get used to it, it will happen everytime you post something like the above...
Environmentalists dont care if its quiet, but neighbors do...
Batteries are only going to get better. Tracks wont have to offer power when the battery lasts all day. Besides how many tracks already offer power because yall old dudes cant sleep without a king sized mattress and AC running all night. But yeah, electric bikes are gonna ruin the sport
Go to a demo ride, put it in map 4 and quit being a bitch.
I am not pro-electric, or anti-ice..I really just want the convienance of being able to ride on my property!
It’s as simple as that...
For me a 2019 Alta will be my next bike and my skid steer is all ready to start building a track!
Pit Row
BUT... I was really surprised at how quick I felt at home on it. I did all the jumps on the 1st lap and it required a lot less energy than I thought it would. I’m really impressed with it and if I had room in my garage, I’d probably go get one. It will never replace my bikes, but it was super fun to ride. I’ll probably end up with one down the road. Hopefully they can get the battery life to last longer, so there’s no need to run a generator at the track, between rides. Other than that, I have no complaints !!
Stackable was the last 500cc SX Champion, I think.
Good to see he's still around.
The Last: at least until the "Open Classers" - in the form of the 450 4ts - came back, under the radar of being allowed in the 250 class, and sheltered by Handicap Class rules.
