![]() ![]() Using the likes of social media, they’ve made the bike shine. But the smoker patriots are still quite upset about four-strokes taking over AMA racing.Īlta’s marketing team deserves a pat on the back they knew how great the Redshift was but also knew convincing the two-stroke fans to jump on board would be difficult. It first popped up on social media, creating heated debate among die-hard two-stroke fans. This is not some pedal-assist mountain bike, the Redshift MX has as much grunt as a 250 four-stroke and the latest MXR is more like a 350.Īlta has made waves in the motorcycle scene over the last few years. The answer is in the design as well as in the performance. Other electric bikes, such as the Zero, have dropped out of the local scene and have not performed that well in foreign markets either. I also love the idea of riding local with no complaints about noise and saving time and dollars on maintenance, all of which are possible with an electric moto. But certain aspects of this passion of mine do not fit seamlessly in with my life. I’m the type of guy that loves race cars, two-strokes, drifting and the smell of VP C16 in the morning. But what if I told you that things are changing to machines with fewer parts, less noise and no petrol. We love our fast V8s, rice-burners, valve-bouncing and burnouts.

There is no word yet on an exact price or final specification of the bike at the moment, however it is believed that more will be announced around the One Motor show in Portland, Oregon next week. Power and torque should remain the same, with the new Redshift pushing out 40bhp with 36ftlb of torque. This comes at the price of the range though, without extra battery power, which would add a hefty amount of weight, the Redshift models only have a range of about 50 miles. We would imagine that the Tracker will come in a littler heavier than the SM, but believe that it should come in at under 135kg. Unlike other electric motorcycles though they tip the scales at just 114kg for the MX and 122kg for the SM. Production of these two other models only started toward the latter half of last year when the company opened a new factory in the US.
