Mate you've been posting all over this supposedly "123 kg FIM minimum weight", just so you know it has only been introduced specifically for FIM Superenduro as a preemptive penalty to limit the Varg supposed technical advantage over ICE. Initially they were also limited to 48 hp and there were...

Safety is important but it's very naive to think this could have anything to do with the Varg design or safety when you say the ban applies to all electric motorcycles. What safety features are they exactly asking for then? Which orgs could be more demanding than the FIM? Stark has actively...

Sweet and sour... love the vids and learning so much about what happened, the role the forum has played, Marc's testimony, postmortem analysis... Here's hoping you get on more solid ground with Flux. It would be kinda "full circle" cool if Stark, owning so much to Alta for the inspiration and...

That is a great idea of thread 👍

Much to my surprise they've said in their latest video that the US were not their major market (although it's the main dirtbike market). I can see at least 2 factors in this, EV acceptance is higher in Europe and stealth rides are even more appreciated (population density, regulations and so on).

KTM has been the largest European motorcycle manufacturer for years. 1000 bikes per month is both nothing... and a lot! It's nothing compared to total sales of OEMs with a range of 50-80 different models. It's record beating if compared to other manufacturers of electric motorcycles. It's...

About big players catching up I like to point out what happened in the car industry (which is by far more important for Honda than motorcycles), Honda and so-called "legacy OEM" are still playing catch up to Tesla (and now BYD) in sales and technology after 10 years so Stark could definitely...

The big players have been investing in solid state batteries for so long, I don't see how a startup like Stark could get them ahead of Toyota or Honda that have been pouring millions in this for so many years. For sure it will be nice, maybe we can expect a solid state electric motorcycle 2 to 5...

Another nice vid from Shane

Another interesting nugget of info: Anton says most sales go through dealers, not direct to customer. This double system is obviously difficult for them, for customers as well it's not clear who will be served first at time of launch, do they prioritize order through dealers or direct to...

They need to acknowledge the fact that their early adopters, aka people who ordered in 2021-2022 inherently have more patience than folks ordering an EX in 2025. I think they're doing an incredible job but they're getting bad press from some folks who have been waiting for their bikes an extra...

Their video production department is top notch. Customer service for orders follow-up not so much. Agreed they need to be more transparent, especially with delays for people who pre-order at launch, hard to demand pinpoint accuracy but more transparency in their weekly newsletter sure would go...

750 bikes on the floor, crazy. Yeah first time they were dealing with homologating a bike and tackled so many countries at the same time. Now they have their factory running, they have a decent dealer network, they have experience with homologating so... third time is a charm for the supermoto ?

Nope, it's just a basic Android function. Good tip, very handy plus the dash doesn't seem to resize too bad, first digit for battery should be enough (wondering what happens when you ride over 10 mph/kmh)

MotoGP team blow directly in the ram air intake (not applicable to the Varg) but they also sometimes let it sit in front of the radiator and blow directly at it, kinda simulates airflow while riding, you could do the same with the battery pack? Of course there's a thing called a front wheel but...
