    E bikes in the Dakar Motion 1000 race

    You need to enable wireless charging in the settings. I just park mine under a powerline and it charges from 30% to 80% for the time it takes to take a few selfies. :p

    E bikes in the Dakar Motion 1000 race

    This effort is not related to Stark company. Guy is an exhibitionist who rides different vehicles for fun and exposure. The EV category in the Dakar race is purely also-ran. They follow different, shorter route and under different (if any) rules from the main event. They don't even race the...

    E bikes in the Dakar Motion 1000 race

    There will be a Stark Varg in 2026. Dakar race. https://www.facebook.com/J.L.Alvarez.Dakar/ https://www.instagram.com/j.l.alvarez.dakar/ I look forward to see how he adapts the bike, but with nothing to show with just a few weeks before departure is concerning. EV bikes in previous years...

    Tall Seat Available?

    Thanks. Are the taller seat and lower pegs in pursuit of comfort or are some other aim? Join us here for the discussion about choosing the wrong suspension. :LOL: https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/suspension-on-the-ex.4561/ I followed up the products you mentioned. New stuff for Vargs...

    Tall Seat Available?

    That's a very smart looking Varg. (y) Taller seat suits it. What kind of riding do you do and how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? If you decide you don't like the taller seat I may be interested in it.

    Solved HELP Power jerking after Drivetrain replacement (GEN2)

    Is this the original problem or a second, different problem after the dealer worked on it? My money is still on the human factor and some mistake in assembly.

    New VARG Software Update.

    Has anybody ever been asked for feedback by Stark? If there is some Beta testing group they are very, very secret. It's not a good idea to change the throttle / power delivery without informing the owner. It can be dangerous for track riders whose every input is precise and consistent...

    New VARG Software Update.

    Easy method to test if the regen has been smoothed is to put it on +90 with high power +50 then try to open and close the throttle on a rough downhill. If it's like before it will feel terrible. If they sorted it it may feel less terrible. If you can manage the the throttle transition smoothly...

    Kayo eC2

    I would say the same for the Hero eBike. They gave absolutely no information about it. It's amazing how many new E and gas off-road bikes were shown at EICMA, but you can not buy or even read about 90% of them.

    General Suspension on the EX

    It seems there is a worldwide shortage of 56N/mm shock springs. Stark doesn't have it right now either. Will 58N/mm be too stiff for 72kg+13kg=85kg rider and gear? Low-ish average speed ≈20km/h, never higher than 60km/h. Hardpack, rocky hills. I'm looking at this and this spring rates for the...

    Arkenstone keeps turning on with bike off

    Yes. I fought it for days trying every trick. The bastard would randomly light up and stay on overheating at full brightness and draining the battery. It's not related to wireless charging. Even unclamping it from the dock and slightly raising didn't help. I decided it's some bug in the app...

    Both Tubes Patched On A New EX

    See the installation video. Advantage over Tubliss is that there are no rimlocks. Here's one more system that people seem to like: https://www.hed-shop.com/en/nomousse-pro-tiresystem-enduro-18x215.html Then there is this silliness: [900$]

    New VARG Software Update.

    You've just earned what Turks call mustuluk. A small gift for the bearer of good news. What you describe above is for me the only weak point of the Varg EX. I had a couple of really bad instances that made me I worry Varg will be dangerous to take on some difficult climbs where stopping is not...

    Both Tubes Patched On A New EX

    There are quite a few choices for weird and interesting tire systems on the market. I'm tempted by this one but the price is very northen. https://www.tlockconcept.com/products/t-lock-startkit-16-tum?variant=50439762510165
