Hillclimbs at Carnegie OHV on the Alta Redshift MX & MXR
Here are some clips of a few hill-climbs at Carnegie SVRA/OHV park near Tracy, CA, on Alta Redshift electric dirt bikes.
This is my son Dylan doing various hill-climbs from mid to late 2022.
The motorcycles are:
2017 Alta Redshift MX (yellow bike)
2018 Alta Redshift MXR (white bike)
The Alta electric dirt bikes are excellent for hill climbing, as they have a ton of power (50 hp & 142 ft. lbs. of torque) and you cannot stall them on the hill. You can also hear the tires as they start to lose traction, so you can adjust throttle inputs. The electric motor provides all of its torque at just about anywhere in the rpm range, so you don’t have to worry about keeping the revs in a specific power-band or feathering the clutch.
Maintenance is simple, so you don't have to worry about oil changes, air filters, or many other tasks that would be common on internal combustion bikes. Plus, they are just super fun to ride!

Installing a Front Tow Hook Bar on a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500
Переглядів 2,1 тис.Рік тому
This video shows how I installed an OEM front tow hook bar (Mopar part # 55366511AB or 55366511AC) on a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The same bar should work on 2006-2008 models. (The 2003-2005 tow hook bar has a slightly different bolt pattern, and they are not interchangeable.). The video shows how to remove the front bumper and install the tow hook bar. 2006, 2007, 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck 3...
How to use a blind bearing puller to remove a broken bearing from a motorcycle wheel
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Рік тому
In this video, I'm using a "blind bearing puller" to remove a broken motorcycle wheel bearing. I had a bad bearing that came apart when I tried to drive it out from the back side with a punch. All that was left was the outer bearing race, and it only has a tiny little lip to get ahold of. A "blind hole" is a hole that does not go all the way through, or one does not have access from the back si...

Will my Westinghouse WGen9500DF generator charge both of my electric motorcycles at the same time?
Переглядів 2,3 тис.3 роки тому
This is a test to see if my generator will charge both of my Alta Redshift electric dirt bikes at the same time. The generator will easily charge both bikes at 120v, or even one at 240v and one at 120v. But the real test is whether they will charge both at 240v at the same time. The chargers should pull 3800 watts or 16A at 240v, each. This should be a pretty good workout for even a large gener...

Can you really turn a metal garbage can into an effective generator muffler? Yep! Since I recently posted a video showing my DIY Generator Shed build, I have had lots of people ask me for a parts list for my unique, trashcan-based generator muffler. In the following video, I lay out my design ideas, I show details on the parts used, and pics from the build process. While the whole garbage can m...
DIY Generator Shed Build - Quiet Sound Insulation with Exhaust Muffler
Переглядів 615 тис.3 роки тому
This is a Suncast plastic shed which I have turned into a generator shed/quiet box. I first added air inlets and a fan outlet. Next, I added a flexible metal exhaust pipe to get the hot exhaust out of the shed. I have added Rockwool (ComfortBoard 80) insulation to the walls, Kilmat sound-deadening vinyl to the lid, side baffles for the air inlet/outlet to absorb and redirect the sound, and fina...

This is the third sound test of my Suncast shed, which I am turning into a generator shed/quiet box. This time, I have added the Rockwool insulation to the walls, Kilmat sound deadening vinyl to the lid, side baffles to the air inlet/outlet, and my FrankenMuffler to the exhaust. The FrankenMuffler is a 20 gallon galvanized trash can that has a perforated pipe running down the middle and an outl...

This is the second sound test for my Suncast generator shed. This time, I have added Rockwool ComfortBoard 80 to the interior, and added sound baffles for the air inlet and fan outlets. This helped quite a bit. Now the loudest remaining sound is the exhaust. Stay tuned for test #3 when I add a DIY FrankenMuffler to the setup. Links to the 3 sound tests, and the final project results (below) Gen...
Generator Shed Sound Test #1 - (No Sound Insulation)

Testing the sound levels on my generator shed at various locations. This test was just with the bare Suncast shed, with ventilation and fan, but no sound insulation at all. It was actually louder in some locations than the generator alone, since the shed reflected some of the sound back at you. Links to the 3 sound tests, and the final project results (below) Generator Shed Sound Test #1 - (No ...
Dylan riding the Alta Redshift at Carnegie MX track on 4/18/2021.

Trying to figure out a decent way to get closer video in the GoPro for a lap of the Carnegie MX track. Not quite what I wanted, but caught most of the lap. The wide angle on the GoPro makes some of the jumps a little hard to film. This was just a practice lap after they had groomed the track. A few of the jumps had some odd new kickers which Dylan rolled. But he was clearing most of the tableto...

In this video, I review my installation of the Moto Cinch strapless tie-down devices, which are designed to hold your motorcycle in place via the pegs rather than via straps to the handlebars. I include my impressions of the device, show how they work, look at the quality, discuss installation, and talk about loading.

Test riding the 2017 Alta Redshift MX at Carnegie SRVA 3-8-2020

Test riding the 2017 Alta Redshift MX at Carnegie SRVA off-road park. Just purchased the bike last week, to go along with my other Alta Redshift MXR. Testing out the new (stiffer) rear spring and the newly installed left-hand rear brake. The bike rides a lot better with the stiffer spring, and the LHRB is much more controllable than the foot brake on the Alta.
