So I had a few minutes at work and geeked out a bit. These are results taken from the stark app on my last 12 rides. First of all the distance is not accurate. When I track mileage on my watch it is typically 2X what the app says. So there is a corrected column for charge%/mile. I threw in...

I've been thinking about this lately. I think for a large share of the off road market to even consider an electric bike as their primary ride we need a 2X improvement in range. For mass adoption, need 4X. It's an awesome toy right now for those us fortunate to be able to afford two bikes. A...

Well maybe I’ll get where you are eventually. Fun factor is way higher on the stark for sure. My 300 has been gathering dust as well.

I haven't had those issues on mine. I usually detest driver aids, but this bike might be the exception i.e. traction control. It loves to spin even in lower hp modes. I am beginning to get the hang of it, but climbing hills and riding really slick terrain I am still not dialed in with the...

I never noticed the punch mark. Makes sense now why alignment was such a bitch. Check your sag - mine was 121mm, 50mm free sag when delivered- medium suspension for 175lb. Turns a little better now. Good luck on the throttle, I had charging issues my first day and got it resolved after a...

My bike would not charge more than 46% when delivered. I contacted Stark and they basically said do a CTR/ALT/DEL and put it on slow charge. Left it plugged overnight, no joy. Checked every connection rebooted/updated phone etc... After sitting for almost two days I kicked it up to fast...

I'll echo the above. Somehow the Varg on 40hp is way faster than my FX350 and that thing is not slow. I rode it in 60 for a minute and have no use for that on the trails I ride. Maybe if your terrain is sugar sand it would be useful, but on dirt it's just ridiculous.

Wow, you've ridden 259 hours on the Varg and not ridden the 300 once? That's quite a testimony.

For US folks: I got a call from Nowata Logistics out of NY today to verify delivery information. I quized him for dates - he said probably one week from customs to their warehouse and another week in shipping to me. That jives with my May 4 date listed on the website fairly closely. It's...

Just checked mine. Original date was 3/3, then moved to 4/6, now 4/29.

I doesn’t effect me one iota, I’m just here waiting on my EX to arrive; woods rider only. The comment I made was in reference to what the orgs are saying and using as an excuse to not allow the Varg, I really don’t care other than the fact that it would cool to watch the Stark compete at the...

Thanks for posting these Beagle. The algorithm shows me most but not all. You and this thread are a reference now to see if I missed anything. Good work sir.

I have an idea - get Elon to mic up the next Starship launch - send recording to Anton - Anton puts some badass speakers on Varg that modulate recording volume to throttle position. All sound problems fixed and 450's now sound like turds in comparison.

Nice pegs - what we know to know about is your shop rag and mop head art. What's happening here?

Here's what I got from Stark 1 week ago (2/5/25) for a US delivery paid in full in December. They've moved it 3 weeks out from original delivery date. My VIN was assigned 1/15/25. Dear Robby, We’ve got some incredible news to share— your VARG EX RCxxxxx has officially entered production...
