« on: March 10, 2018, 01:43:16 AM »Own the Redshift EX for about a month, and have over 2 years of previous experience with the Zero FX.Is there any option to carry a spare battery for extended range?
A quick highlights comparison -
Build quality is higher in the Alta. Plastics are not brittle and faded like in the Zero (mostly in previous models), bolts are high quality and don't strip easily.
Been riding a lot with friends on Zero, and can now say that the Alta battery lasts for about the same range as the 2 battery packs FX. Amazing how close they get. In the Alta there is no distinguish power loss when the battery weakens.
Sitting position is much higher in the Alta. Great for tall & off road riders. Not so great for shorter and dual sport guys.
The power of the Alta is incredible, more than I can handle. Although I never felt like the Zero lacks power.
I use map 4 in the Alta for its motor deceleration during steep descends only. No brakes are needed..
For off road use, the Alta is superb. for dual sport riding, the FX is more comfortable and can handle the job great.
Attaching some side by side photos for comparison.
