    Kove E-MX e-dirt bike at Milan Motor Show

    Sadly, release of these new EV machines might not happen anytime soon given the power sports business landscape in free-fall currently. & why is it that only Surron has figured out that these LH rear brake configurations really need a dual piston caliper to perform adequately ?

    General Poll, response appreciated

    I have an Ultra Bee that I've pretty heavily modified the suspension & ergonomics on to be (mostly) suitable for mid-west single track riding. .. it's still too short but thats a whole other conversation. The light weight & instant response are truly terrific on the right type of terrain ...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    Restricting max HP almost makes some kind of sense , although .. is displacement restricted in Super enduro for ICE bikes ? Is a 65 HP 450 legal to run ? But a minimum weight of 270 LBS to be able to compete .. Pure cowardice on the part of the FIM for essentially putting their collective...

    General Poll, response appreciated

    Maybe just procure a Surron & be able to test the concept whenever / however you'd like ? They are quite inexpensive typically & the Light Bee & Ultra Bee are likely the largest market of prospective customers, at least currently.

    Half sized race battery?

    The 60HP Varg I test rode really needed to be at 50 HP or thereabouts to be able to reliably & instantly loft the front over things similar as an ICE bike with a clutch. It was nicer to ride at around 40-45 HP, but just didn't have quite enough pop to stand the bike up at a moments notice at...

    Half sized race battery?

    Early on I had an email conversation going with an EV powertrain engineer & expressed the same thought of reducing battery mass for a lower OA weight & reduced range. I believe the Varg battery is about 77 lbs, a 30 % mass reduction would likely be about 18-20 lbs lighter as some of that 77 is...

    Enduro Set up?

    How so ?. What attributes do you think elevates it above a 250/300 xcw ? I had a Varg on order from day one & was able to test ride it prior to delivery, I felt that there were two characteristics of the machine that for me at least were deal breakers for the type of slow-ish single track we...

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    This makes sense & jives with several comments from Varg owners about having to run in a higher power mode than they'd prefer on single track in order to get the kind of quick response & power to lift the front reliably. I have noticed on some of the videos on the E-motion bikes that the...

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    Congratulations on the continuing forward momentum of the product. A question regarding the kind-of-a-clutch / re-gen thing ; does the system have the ability to RELEASE stored energy as with a traditional mechanical clutch ? I find that when riding my electric & I need to lighten the front...

    Stark Electric Bikes needed for 'Arctic Sea Ice Monitoring Terminal Deployment' programme.

    Given your mission parameters & operating conditions , a tracked electric would seem about the only viable option. On a conventional round wheel bike, those narrow-ish rolling wheels wont perform well even if fitted with studs when pulling a payload, it'll want to dig down more than forward...

    Stark Electric Bikes needed for 'Arctic Sea Ice Monitoring Terminal Deployment' programme.

    Electric bikes & their lithium ion batteries dont like cold. Wrong tool entirely. Yikes ! You'd do better to look at other successful arctic expeditions & see what type of equipment has proved worthy in those conditions. As you're surely aware ; your life may depend on the equipment choices...

    Dust Moto

    The premise is great & the execution surely looks the part ! A competent lightweight that doesn't need thousands of $$ in power & suspension upgrades. Yes please. I'd wonder what kind of range can be expected from a 39Ah battery with a 15Kw nom / 25Kw peak output ? I have a 200lb Ultra...

    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    It's interesting ; for most single track trails Varg needs to be less motorbike / Ultra needs to be more motorbike. I bought an Ultra & have been developing the chassis ( throwing $$ at it ) for a couple months, it needs several critical mods / parts to feel competent & thus fun on the trail. I...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    When one thinks of electric cars, which name comes to mind ? Chevy Volt ?, Ford Escape -E ?, Audi E Iron ? Nope .. it's Tesla. Why ? because they were 1st to have a viable product that consumers actually wanted to purchase. I think the big manufacturers are lobbying hard to throw up...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    FIM = spineless hypocrites. All these sanctioning bodies shout from the hilltops about 'growing the sport' .. & then they cave under the least bit of pressure & exclude one of the very things that offer new opportunities for more participation & additional venues. Isn't that the definition of...
