Re: Home made 6 speed electirc dirtbike

Thats a pretty cool way to drop a motor into a frame w/o mods. Can appreciate the engineering and work. I see he left the kick starter on :) But gears are pretty much pointless on most AC motors and he'll take an efficiency hit w/ all those constant mesh gears. Just pick a slightly bigger motor and/...

Re: Good Day in the Woods

I'm not sure what sprocket Sam is running on there but with that 16" rear wheel it looks like 200 teeth :) Would give DaveJ's LightBee sprocket a run for its money! I'm sure it has plenty of torque even in eco mode.

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?
