I've been eyeing the Alta as a possible next bike, but I'd be much happier buying an electric powered GG enduro with KYB suspension.
The next improvement in battery technology should provide enough range for my needs.

So I'm going on a ride this weekend. We do 3 days, approx 90-100miles each day, Basically about 50 to a gas station, then 50 back or so..
We're buried in the bush, no electricity, and no generators...
Even if we brought generators we'd need a minimum 50 mile range to find someone who has a generator to recharge at a lunch stop or something, then be able to ride back to keep doing our favourite loops.
Or realistically a bike with a minimum 100 mile range to be safe... When bikes can hit 120 miles or so to a charge and have a 1/2 hour recharge time, I'll start looking at them...
the Dacre Rally is 350-400 miles in one day for my class, Gonna be a long time before I can run that on an e-bike.
I just can't see switching anytime soon. Not for what I do with my bike...
I know I'm asking the world, But my two stroke with an IMS tank is perfect, and gas stations are plentiful and cheap.
