Alta Motors

As cities increase in density and battle rising air pollution and congestion, electrified transport is proving to be an important part of today’s smart city economy. Thinking beyond the car, the Alta Motors team has developed the ultimate light-duty urban commuter: the all-electric Redshift Supermoto (SM). Built with the DNA of a race supermoto, Alta’s Redshift SM eliminates the the noise and air pollution issues associated with its combustion competitors. A stealthy motorcycle for navigating crowded city streets, the Redshift SM offers 60 miles of city riding between charges and is attracting new riders into the fold. Designed with a clean-sheet approach, the Alta team emphasized a commitment to human-centered design and efficiency to create the first electric motorcycle to directly displaced combustion competitors. This is the Redshift SM, and it is the future of fast.
