The local dealer in San Marcos TX has got some good inventory of these. The distributor is out of Houston. We are looking into doing a demo at Spoaks Motopark. The bikes have only been delivered to dealers recently but they are impressive. It’s a full lineup of sizes.

Sorry, I haven't visited this site in a while, everything is going so well, I've gotten more seat time on my Stark than any bike I've had in the last decade. It's the fountain of youth. My last ride was 30 miles with 46% remaining. If I ever empty a battery I will feel like Superman. A side...

Our tracks has never discriminated, and we enjoy a nice bit of E-bike customer base. No charging needed, I've never been able to use a battery up in a day, but it's a goal. We have discussed doing some solar lighted areas, and encouraging e-bikes to come out at night. The AMA tracks have been...

Personally, I've already got plenty of power and range for my needs. IMO there's a niche for lighter and less expensive, with a quick swap.

Interesting. Marc with Alta used to join the forum for Q&A at VitalMX. I don't expect any future product reveals, but rather a reason why to not wait for the next version and buy now..

The FiM is to be commended for its vision for allowing e-bikes, while continuing to adjust the rules.

Ducati and Honda are running "frame wings" .

That's cool that someone is beginning to make these available. The fitment will depend on each model bike's shape of the plastic side panels. I like the idea of longer, but not sure it's needed and may make fitment more difficult? My experiment was quite crude, and I changed the location several...

8 Snell and DOT helmetsboth use drop tests with instrumented headforms onto anvils, but Snellstandards are significantly stricter, requiring lower peak G-forces (around 275G vs. DOT's 400G limit) and testing multiple impact types (flat, hemispherical, etc.) and conditions (hot, cold, wet)...

I wouldn’t recommend a Snell or DOT approved helmet. They are over engineered for dirt bikes.

Engineering helmets to keep street riders alive in high speed crashes into solid pointed objects is the wrong direction for the majority of accidents that happen in motorcycles. The testing is flawed, because it is designed around the wrong regulations. In trying to save lives, preventable...

Football and motocross have very similar head injury concussion issues, and following them is a good thing, just like 6d. Snell and almost all testing standards are set too high, a high speed pointed object is a remote possibility to engineer towards.

Motorcycle helmets in general are obsolete. Football helmets now routinely have several flex sections built into absorb energy, and the foam is multi hit capable. Bike helmets are one and done. That being said, my current helmet of choice is a highly ventilated mountain bike helmet with Mips...

I'm completely confused by all this. Is their a summary that applies to the Stark in real life, not theory?
