Re: Stark VARG

Phoo, Awesome you got to ride one on real trails! Your images aren't showing up for me :( The 20hp no wheelie thing - its weird in that the LightBee, UltraBee, and KTM-Es all make <20hp and will put you on your back when you twist the grip. I still hope they allow some more customization of torque a...

Re: Stark VARG

Arctic Leopard E-XE 880. Lighter than a KTM gas bike and bigger battery than the Varg. WTF? This wasn't even on my radar.


CCW says there are at least 5 more electrics coming out in 2024. Including an Arctic Leopard that is more of an UltraBee competitor.

Re: “Hoping for No Snow” TrailWork Party, 3/2/24

Sneekers? seriously..... Hey, I'll have you know those are hiking shoes! :) We weren't really riding. I had on just my work jeans and a t-shirt when Phil questioned my not wearing a long sleeve shirt so I zipped back and threw on a jersey. I do more on a mountain bike w/ far less on. I do wish I no...

Re: Stark VARG

You must be in the "convince myself I don't really want a Varg" forums because that's counter to everything I see in the three forums I'm in and the videos I just watched. :) LOL. I just used to design EV drives and can pickup on this stuff quickly. I invented an optimal SVM zero vector s...

Re: Stark VARG

One thing to remember about "25 HP" is that you still get all that torque and watching the video he was clearly not lacking for power. ~Patrick You don't :( It was the first thing obvious on my test ride. Its a total dog at low power. At 25hp it makes less 'snap' than a stock 6hp Light Be...

Re: Emmitsburg, Trail Work/Ride 2/17/24

I'm fairly certain my Promaster won't go up your drive w/ snow (or even that last bit of road.) On the stock crappy tires I get stuck in dewy grass on slight inclines. They have zero siping. Truck doesn't have a bed on it at the moment.

Re: Stark VARG

Wonder if we could convert SkinnyJ or is it too late now that he went from blue to orange?

Re: Stark VARG

Didnt they do the same thing to Alta (back when that was a thing) for MX? Whats the deal? Yes. Likely just E haters. Lots of money by the big manufs in the sport and they don't want to be outclassed. Now, it appears they like to stand behind the insurance issue to deflect blame. AFAIK E vehicles ar...

Re: Stark VARG

FWIW, I think the battery they used is both overpriced and a waste w/ their setup. The stock battery would do everything they are doing (and it did in the other bike.) They didn't make an apples/apples comparison. Even if you do include a 2nd battery, you still have the original. The range w/ swappi...
