This time it’s the ‘R’ version of the Bay Area-based manufacturer’s fully street legal dual-sport, the 2019 Redshift EXR. I'm curious to see where Alta goes next with its product line. Designed for MX2/Lites class racing, the Redshift MX has the advantage of not having to shift through gears. Alta has announced the latest addition to its growing family of electric-powered dirtbikes. "Now that we've reached price parity and our vehicles outperform combustion in nearly every category, our plans are to bring electrics into the mainstream by making them more accessible to a more diverse set of riders and future motorcycle curious audiences." "While the costs of combustion vehicles are essentially flat to purchasing power, electric is still moving down the cost curve and is now a clear contender in terms of performance," said Marc Fenigstein, chief product officer for Alta Motors. It also has a top speed of 50 mph and a range of up to 50 miles, making it a great option for those looking for a bike that can handle off-road riding. With a price tag of just 2,599, it is one of the most affordable electric bikes on the market. This bike still can’t be ridden for as long as a gasoline one.

Other models in the Redshift lineup will go for similar money, but well under the $15,000 that one might pay for a comparable Zero. Alta Motors was an American manufacturer of off-road and dual-sport electric motorcycles based in Brisbane, California. The MXR will set buyers back just $11,995, which in motorcycle terms isn't cheap per se, but for an electric bike with these specs, that's dirt cheap.

The best part is that Alta's prices are dropping as its supply chain and production methods improve.
