Electric motorcycle manufacturer, Alta Motors, steps into the off road and enduro market with the 2019 Redshift EXR – is this the first serious electric enduro motorcycle?
Alta Motors, an electric motorcycle manufacturer, introduces 2019 Redshift EXR into the Enduro and off road market as it looks to be a serious electric endure motorcycle for everyone.
The Cinderella story of Alta Motors has been given motor enthusiasts an added level of excitement towards trail riding, racing and now enduro motorcycle manufacturing.
Taking on the challenges
Proving itself in Enduro and off road racing may be the biggest opportunity for Alta to do what it takes to step up on the big scenario in a machine capable extended battery driven life.
The Alta 2019 Redshift EXR is “an off-road race bike with lights and a plate as standard”. This new motorcycle ensure to have more power and capability to go anywhere with its latest generation battery and upgraded transmission. The performance and technology of Alta made a bold statement when it entered the 2018 ErzbergRodeo with Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt substantiating the intentions to be taken seriously into the world of off road sport.

The bruise form of Redshift EXR has given attentions to riders the broad appeal and comfortable riding to any expert and beginners. Since it is electric battery life, this would make sure that there is a low impact of noise but sure steady power. Alta says, “No noise, no pollution, no detection.”
Taking a closer look
The Alta Redshift EXR has R5.8 battery pack – a major evolution of Alta’s industry leading pack technology. It is said to be the highest-energy density battery ever put in a motorcycle where it sums up conventionally the capacity just like a petrol powered enduro bike.
The R-Pack uses state-of-the-art cell chemistry to extend the full-power range at cooler operating temperatures. This upgrade, increased the power, range, and faster charge times making the 2019 Redshift EXR one of the most flexible motorcycles today.
Electronics
With rapid developments for its components, Alta’s able to make simple and developed to be “as lean and elegant as possible.”
