I found myself reaching for the shift lever to downshift going into corners out of habit, but after about three laps, I got used to it. One thing that was weird to me at first was the lack of gears. I geared up and spun a few laps for the first time on an electric motorcycle. I’m still on the mend from a big shoulder injury and haven’t been riding, but I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to try out the Alta, so I didn’t want to miss my chance. Be on the lookout for a contingency program from Alta soon. They also just announced their partnership with Harley-Davidson. They have competed in Red Bull Straight Rhythm for the past two years and someone raced one in the amateur supercross this year-Alta definitely wants to do more.

They are authorized in professional EnduroCross, but are still declared an open class amateur bike for motocross and supercross.

Go here for a full break down on price reductions.Īlta is working on their homologation status with the AMA and do want to race professional motocross and supercross.

They’ve dropped the former $14,995 price tag by several thousand dollars. This is where we’re building The Future of Fast.I spoke with Alta’s chief technology officer and co-founder Derek Dorresteyn and he said what they’re most excited about with their 2018 bikes is the price. In pursuit of this goal we have recruited an agile team of experts, developed innovative electric vehicle technology, and created a world class manufacturing operation headquartered in Brisbane, California. We endeavor to not only advance the field of motorcycle technology, but to also apply our technology and advanced engineering across transportation markets. What started as a “what-if?” between friends in 2010 has matured into a full scale Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

*** Estimation based on continuous riding under moderate usageĪlta Motors designs and manufactures the most advanced electric motorcycles in the world. * Torque measured at Countershaft Sprocket REAR BRAKE: Brembo Single Piston 219mm Rotor RECHARGE TIME: 2.5 hrs(240v)| 4 hrs(120v)įRONT BRAKE: Brembo Two Piston 260mm Rotor All of this integration is coordinated with very specific strength, weight, and stiffness goals to produce the right ride and compliance characteristics at all lean angles, and under impact. Additionally, it is the main structural hub, connecting to the rear suspension, the airframe, the forged monocoque chassis, and the trellis skidframe. The Redshift Bulkhead-the chassis core-functions as the outer motor casing, the cooling circuit for the motor and inverter, as well as the transmission case for the gear reduction. The unit pushes power through a 3.5:1 gear reduction to deliver a 122 ft-lbs of torque at the counter shaft from a dead stop and 0 RPM. The Redshift’s motor weighs 15lbs and puts out 40hp and 36 ft-lbs of torque. This placement allows for the lowest polar moment of inertia in motorcycling – drastically minimizing any gyroscopic impediment to handling. It is optimized to the narrow width of the Redshift’s bulkhead and is precisely located at the roll center of the bike. Our stacked honeycomb architecture allows for extreme energy density at 185 watt hours per kilogram, combined with a unique thermal wicking system to shed heat faster than any other lithium-ion transportation battery in production.Īlta’s water-cooled 14,000 RPM motor is pound for pound one of the most powerful in motorsports. The Alta Pack is waterproof rated up to IP67, is durable enough to handle shocks and vibes up to 20G, and is digitally self-monitoring. Mile for mile, there is no smaller, more compact, energy dense battery pack in transportation.

The combination of low weight and lightning fast acceleration make for a potent street-legal motorcycle that gives you all the tools necessary to experience the offroad world in the purest manner possible. Built with the DNA of a motocross bike, our Redshift EX eliminates the incessant oil changes and maintenance intervals of its high-strung competitors, and still slays on the trail. The 2018 Redshift EX is the ideal ratio of motocross speed, singletrack prowess, and urban capability.
