Dan on an Alta electric motorcycle…

There’s a third streetable electric motorcycle out there, and it’s the Alta.   My good buddy Danny, with whom I’ve ridden Baja several times (both of us own CSC RX3 and TT250 motorcycles), recently sent this note to me after he read the ExhaustNotes blogs about the City Slicker and Zero motorcycles…

Joe,

Interesting timing; I took this photo yesterday to send to you, taken before I suited up. This is what I rode:  

And what a ride. Mode one would smoke my RX3, and probably the Guzzi.   Mode two – it was fun. Mode three – OMG, hold on tight. I didn’t try mode four, two was enough.

I was impressed with the performance. The bike itself was not my type. I have been following Red Shift since their early days. Impressive design and engineering.

Thanks for the photo and the report, Dan.   I’ve got to get a ride on an Alta, too.  I know what you mean about the acceleration; it was the same thing I experienced on the Zero.  It’s almost too much, although I never thought I would ever say that about any motorcycle.

Folks, I’m headed to Tinfiny Ranch later this morning.  Watch for the report!
