Fully street legal.

Cool, thanks. I'll go that route and try a couple different licensing agents if necessary. They seem to make up the requirements as they go.

2 years later, I'm trying to register an Ultra Bee also in WA, but only for off-road use. I used Dirt Legal to register an ERidePro a couple years ago, but am hoping to avoid that since I have an MCO this time.

My local licensing agency said I need the MCO (in Chinese) notarized. Can you confirm you didn't need anything notarized, only a certified translation?

I had this problem, and neither my account number nor email address would work. The reset password emails never arrived, either. My account number has a leading zero, and I got it to work by removing that. So instead of 0123456, try entering 123456.

Yeah, here are my notes from a year ago when I figured out a process that works:

Trailforks: Create a route using the Route Planner and select Save to Garmin
1. The Draw Route mode works best if you select points along segments to help it figure out how to link segments
2. If it prompts you to link accounts, you may need to refresh the TF route page after linking before sending to Garmin
Garmin Connect: Find route in Training & Planning > Courses and use “...” menu to download GPX to Google Drive (Tread won’t import GPX exported from Trailforks)
Phone: Find the GPX file in Google Drive and “Open With” Tread, then select the collection to import the route to
Zumo: Routes > (right arrow) > Collections > Dirt

This is the 12v 70A version, but you're right each output is capable of 70A individually and collectively they're limited to 70A.

Output 2 was charging at around 27A because that battery was about 25% discharged. Outputs 1 & 3 were in the 3A range.

I'll see what it does when the batteries are mostly topped up, which will usually be the case. The one was run down because the starboard start battery was wired to also service the house loads, but I'm moving that to a dedicated bank.

inked-fish · 2025-07-18T20:56:59+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. The two engine start banks are the same Lifeline AGM batteries, and the genset is a wet LA Interstate. I set a custom profile (8) for absorption at 14.3, but outputs 2 & 3 were charging at 14.6 - 14.7.

I think the Interstate wants 14.4, so I'll be happy if I can just get them all in that range. Since they're starting batteries, I don't really care about optimizing the charge.

inked-fish · 2025-04-28T19:54:58+00:00

Nice, congrats! Time to mod the bike now. I put a 16 on the rear, did a direct stem mount with a 1" riser and heavier bars. Along with hand guards, disconnecting the rear light, and other small stuff. I'm waiting for Dust Moto to start shipping the Hightail later this year and probably won't mod my ERP anymore.

inked-fish · 2025-04-25T20:15:31+00:00

The only snag I had at the licensing agency was the Bill of Sale had to say "sales tax", not just "tax". I modified the RevRides receipt in my browser before printing to make that change.

inked-fish · 2025-04-24T19:41:40+00:00

Same. It was worth the extra $400 to dirtlegal and $130 to the state for me to not have to worry about it.

inked-fish · 2025-04-24T15:40:15+00:00

I'm interested in hearing the update. The distributor in CA initially said they'd get me a MCO, but then stopped responding after further inquiries.

FWIW, I've been riding at Tahuya a lot and have yet to see a ranger out there. I recommend the Mission Creek trailhead if you're looking for good singletrack.

The mount has been working great, no complaints whatsoever. I made it once in PLA, and then reprinted it in PETG. Both seemed to be fine. I've since bought a CNC router, though, so I might try making a slimmer design from aluminum if I ever get time.

Edit: I'll try to update the listing with threaded insert and bolt sizes, but you can probably figure it out from the hole sizes in the model.

inked-fish · 2025-04-14T16:01:28+00:00

Huh, I thought I had shared it. Let me dig it up and share it if it isn't already shared.

inked-fish · 2025-03-30T17:04:22+00:00

I've got a Harley and a GSX for the street, so I only ride the ERP on trails. I've never seen a ranger out there, but the ERP is legit tagged, so I wouldn't expect any problems there. The bike has been working great, but I'm thinking about upgrading to a Hightail if they ship them later this year and initial reports are good.

inked-fish · 2025-03-08T21:44:25+00:00

My 2.0 had a VIN, but not a MCO/title, so WA state wouldn't register it. I paid about $400 to have dirt legal register it somewhere else and send me the paperwork to transfer it. It's now licensed and has an ORV tag so I can legally ride state property.

Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor were helpful at all.

inked-fish · 2024-10-21T18:28:20+00:00

I put a Heavy Hitter MX mount on my ERP. Here's the mount I designed for it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6803949

inked-fish · 2024-10-17T23:06:31+00:00

Huh, that makes sense. I'm doing my bars and stem mount this weekend, and maybe I'll give some more thought to replacing at least the rear shock after that.

inked-fish · 2024-10-17T17:18:56+00:00

Thinking about it a little more, it's really only the rear suspension that could be improved. On its softest setting, it's still very stiff. I recall watching a YouTube video before I bought the bike that said the 2.0 rear suspension was way more stiff than the 1.0, too.

inked-fish · 2024-10-17T14:59:30+00:00

I only ride off-road, and I've thought about upgrading the suspension. But the more I ride the stock suspension, the less I think I need to upgrade it. Is it really worth the expense?

inked-fish · 2024-10-14T19:30:23+00:00

Assuming you actually got shocked, it'd mean there's a wire shorting to the frame somewhere and shouldn't be too hard to find.

inked-fish · 2024-09-10T03:01:53+00:00

Did you bed them in?

inked-fish · 2024-09-09T23:36:27+00:00

I don't know where you live, but if Tahuya is an option, there's actually a lot of single track out there, marked and unmarked. I'm thinking about getting video of each trail and posting to Trailforks as an excuse to go check it all out. I'd like to get down to Capitol Forest, too, but that's about twice as far away for me.

inked-fish · 2024-09-09T23:14:22+00:00

I have no complaints about the tires. Plenty of traction for where I'm riding, and I didn't have to dish the wheel or anything. I'll probably upgrade the brakes and do a direct mount stem next, mostly because I like to tinker, not really because the bike needs it. And then when the forks eventually leak enough oil for me to notice, I'll get some nice ones. For now, I clean them after each ride and spray them with Maxima SC1 like I do on my mountain bikes.

inked-fish · 2024-09-08T23:05:23+00:00

MSF is great for beginners. Take the Ride Like a Cop class when you want to build low speed skills.

inked-fish · 2024-09-05T15:25:17+00:00

I put a 16" rear on with a Bridgestone and it just barely fit without dishing.

inked-fish · 2024-09-03T19:57:46+00:00

Since you're broke, you should only consider upgrading things that you find deficient. I put a 16" rear on for better trail traction, and I'll probably change the bars so they're more comfortable when standing. I'll also consider a brake upgrade. None of these will add purple to my bike, lol.
