Looking good but at 15k usd not cheap. Solves only half of the complains (noise), next challenge will be to make a bike that doesn't make dust :RO:RO

[FONT="]Motorcycle makers Alta Motors have opened the doors to their new factory in Brisbane, California, and TechCrunch was on the scene for a first look.[/FONT]
[FONT="]A quick trip from downtown San Francisco, the factory is in a low and unassuming concrete structure. Inside, it’s surprisingly quiet, thanks in part to the fact that the motorcycles Alta makes are all-electrics, and final assembly of these bikes is ultimately done by hand.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The startup’s flagship product, the Redshift MX, is a motocross bike newly shipping to dealers and retailing at $14,995.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The company also makes a street-legal version of this bike, the Redshift SM, which sells for $15,495.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Why build their own factory rather than outsource to markets known for motorcycle manufacturing, especially Japan, home of Yamaha and others?[/FONT]
