Exactly why I'd like to see a beefier version of a NuVinci hub on an MX or Motard bike. A CVT you could control with your thumb like an ATV would be a great way to let the rider choose where the meat of the power is delivered.

Colorado trails and RMEC races that necessitate a battery swap (big $ for another pack) have scared me away so far. Seriously considering this bike or a new FX and doing the chain kit.

With Its New Factory Operational, San Francisco-Based Alta Motors Changes The Motorcycle Landscape With Its High Performance Redshift Motorcross and Supermoto Machines


San Francisco, December 16, 2015 – Alta Motors, the San Francisco-based electric vehicle company, announced that they delivered their first motorcycle to BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco, where it was purchased by customers Eric Gauthier and Jeannine Smith, who own and operate Suspension Performance in Mountain View, CA.
 
“We’ve been quietly driving towards this moment for over 8 years in pursuit of creating the best motorcycles money can buy,” said Marc Fenigstein, co-founder and CEO of Alta Motors. “The result is a machine with a whole suite of new technologies, and a very different motorcycle than anything that has come before. The Redshift feels immediately comfortable to anyone who has ever thrown a leg over a state of the art performance motorcycle, but offers a leap forward in control, feel, and the connection between the rider’s brain and the tires on the ground. To have successful, speed-minded customers like Eric and Jeannine take delivery of the first Redshift is a tremendous honor for Alta Motors.”
