    Thinking electric... again... garage full of parts still

    :LOL: Jokes aside, Yes, the Varg app does have a function that limits the SoC so that when it reaches a certain value it won't go beyond that. However, the way I personally use it is that, when I want to charge the bike for storage, I set it to 50% and I still disconnect it some hours later and...

    Any recommended Lock on grips for the Varg?

    I've recently installed new OEM Ariete grips: I heated up the left grip with a heat gun and it slipped without much effort; I pulled it from the donut side and pushed it from the closed side. When it cooled down, it was stircking to the handlebar pretty well. On the throttle side, not only I'm...

    General electronic wheelie assist

    I didn't know about this; it's also some years old already. As far as I've understood, on those KTMs the system won't let the rider wheeling forever on the balance point like Sur Ronster did in his video and the assited wheelies will last as long as there will be a revs increase, but on the...

    General electronic wheelie assist

    Like already discussed offtopic in other threads, some people including me would like to have wheelie assitance. While I don't have problems controling the bike as the front wheel detaches from the ground under accelerations or coming out of crests (power wheelies were usual when I used my...

    Other Bikes about helmets standards, lifespans and how they are sold

    Thank you for this, I had no idea about the existence of this FRHPhe-02 - 2023 standard! I'm also surprised that the AI I consulted about MX helmets didn't mention it. Following that link, I see that so far only expensive helmets are certified. I don't race but I've read our national Italian...

    JARV-E (enduro)

    Hey mike, if I recall correctly you used to have a Varg but then sold it because it was too heavy. So the Jarv-E could be the solution.

    Other Bikes about helmets standards, lifespans and how they are sold

    Customer support has told me that: 1) there is no expiry date for helmets. This is inconsistent with what they write on their website, which is what other manufacturers suggest: to replace it every 5 years. To make a comparison, here is what Arai, one of the most reputable motorcycle helmets...

    JARV-E (enduro)

    I haven't found pictures of the bike from the right side, but yes, from the left it looks like that. Some BMW designed Husqvarnas like the TE 449 used this solution, that they called CTS: Coaxial Traction System. Here is an interview about it to an Italian professor from back then; the subtitles...

    JARV-E (enduro)

    Some additional information from the website, some of which is got hovering the mouse cursor on the + signs on the picture: • Sirris F43 suspension; interestingly, it seems to be a dual chamber fork with Ø43 mm stenchions but the F43 writing pops up hovering the cursor over the rear shock • rear...

    I can't complain on food, that's true.

    They say that in the foggiest regions people follow rules and in the sunny ones people only worry about having fun. Well, actually I've bought that helmet in a foggy region, what a plot twist! :ROFLMAO:

    I think it shouldn't be regional regulation, it should be national. I've found two articles on magazines according to which ECE 05 shouldn't be sold in Italy after january 2024, so I've deleted the brand and model from my first post here and I've contacted the customer support of that brand...

    Try Italy; apparently they can do wathever the heck they want here >:( Sad to find out that it works that way in your state, too; I don't know about the rules in the rest of your country. I understand that disposing of a helmet just because it's old would be expensive and that, if it became...

    I'd like to tell you about some bad purchasing experiences I've had, the last of which happened yesterday. I feel pretty frustrated and I think that sharing this will both let me vent my frustration and possibly help someone. I'm writing from the European Union but I think that similar...

    CR-E “250” Project

    Ok so 350 A @ 72 V = 25 kW as a peak power. The voltage is 72 V because 20 • 3.6 V = 72 V. ASAIK, thoug, the real voltage of the battery depends on the SoC and according to a datasheet I've just found, for each Samsung 50S cell it ranges from 2.5 V to 4.2 V. So, in theory, you would have 84 V...

    CR-E “250” Project

    So those Samsung 50S cells, compared to others of similar price, are more energy dense and less power dense. What happens if someone for example uses that bike in a MX track and asks for current above the value rated for continuous delivery for too long? Will the cells overheat and will the...

    Media Review Carson Brown laptime comparison: 500 2T vs Varg @ Pastranaland

    You know what occcurs to me when I think about similar considerations? What if battery technology had evolved sooner and everybody were just used to EVs and someone said «hey, I have a revolutionary MX bike here, it uses a kind of motor called the gas engine.» Can you imagine how hard they would...

    Maximizing Range for the Stark Varg

    The best way in which I can answer is this: if you look at the max power line of an Alpha Varg in the advanced modes screens of the Arkenstone, you will notice that the max available power keeps rising until roughly 7k - 7.5k rpm and then it stops rising. Not exceeding that thereshold should...

    Maximizing Range for the Stark Varg

    Personally, I have chosen not to use the Svag app, although let me take this opportunity to tell you that I wish I had half of your knowledge in the software field. That said, measuring how much current is used for the d and q axes surely is a reliable method, but I think that a more empirical...

    Media Review Carson Brown laptime comparison: 500 2T vs Varg @ Pastranaland

    I think that the interesting part starts @6:06 when Pastrana, Brown and Roczen comment about rear brake, engine brake, scrubbing, etc. I've skimmed through the first minutes since it seemed to me that those were all about 2 strokes. I like the fact that you can watch most of the laps in a split...
