California-based electric motorcycle manufacturer, Alta Motors, builds some of the fastest and most advanced, competition-ready electric motorcycles in the world. Founded in 2008 by Marc Fenigstein, Derek Dorresteyn, and Jeff Sand, Alta Motors is arguably the Tesla of motorcycles. The company claims that “mile for mile, there is no smaller, more compact, energy dense battery pack in transportation” than the ones used in the company’s line of all-electric motorcycles, including the Enduro (EX), Motocross (MX), and Supermoto (SM).

I sat down with Alta Motors’ CEO on the NextMobility podcast to discuss the company’s current lineup and their upcoming products.

“I think it’ll [Supermoto] give more people an opportunity to try out what we have built. I think they are the most fun style of motorcycles out there… with electric, there is no maintenance, so you get all the benefits of a race breed supermoto and none of the headaches,” said Marc on the NextMobility Podcast.

Alta Motors has been developing and perfecting their powertrain over the last several years, and the results of their efforts have left them with one of the most energy dense automotive battery packs available, says the company. Alta uses 18650 lithium-ion battery cells, the very same form factor Tesla uses in its Model S and X. In speaking with Marc, he tells me that Tesla is one of the only other automotive companies really paying close attention to thermal pack management, which is crucial to pack longevity and safety.

“If you are trying to get from one side of Manhattan to another, there isn’t anything else with a license plate that can keep up.” – Alta Motors CEO, Marc Fenigstein

Alta raised $27M in June of this year to help develop their next platform, a full street motorcycle, and scale their manufacturing processes. The company in its current capacity manufactures 20 bikes per week but is looking to grow production as their sales network grows.

      Dendera zodiac

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.

      Algorand Partners With FIFA World Cup

      By caminando · Posted

      FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
