    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    It's not entirely clear .. when their webpage is opened , readers are greeted with the page below which is difficult to reconcile with their actions regarding electric competition bikes.

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    Any proponents & current manufacturers of electric MX bikes are up against some significant headwinds for electric being able to participate in AMA sanctioned events anytime soon. - Honda, KTM , et, al likely ( surely ) have outsized influence in the rule making process of the AMA, so until...

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

    Wow, didn't figure a Stark clone would show up this soon, early '24 availability ? Thats right around the corner. Imagine a scenario where there's more of these in the hands of consumers than the genuine article .. Realistically though, with a full size chassis, full size wheels & suspension...

    Motorcycle CG height

    I take more issue with the f-ing bandana than the item mentioned. Standing instructions ; if I'm ever seen wearing 1 - bandana or 2 - sunglasses indoors .. just kill me, it'll be the humane thing to do. Ryans YouTube vids may just be the best thing on the entire platform.

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    A thought ; the hole in the e-bike market appears to be a light full size bike with all the premium components & suspension. It's apparent that given current battery chemistry, theres a significant weight penalty to be paid if the expectation is a full Moto length of hard running time. If a...

    Alta throttle - all there is to know

    Incorporated into a lever somehow ? That'd be great. Maybe it'd be able to be used on several different E-bikes ... If you were to succeed - patent that thing & enjoy the royalties from licensing that holy grail of e-bike drive trains to OEM's !

    Alta throttle - all there is to know

    The terms ; 'interrupt the signal' & 'precise deployment of power' would seem contradictory as signal interruption is on / off by definition. Clutches on the other hand meter power as gradually or quickly as desired via the amount & speed of lever movement imparted by the user. Maybe if a 2nd...

    Alta throttle - all there is to know

    Anyone who made it past the 5 or 6 minute mark deserves a medal & would be a good special ops candidate for their proven ability to withstand even the worst of interrogation tactics. ..

    How to remove the bike from the battery.

    Interesting indeed .. the engineering & execution of the machine is impressive. Such compact architecture. Those carbon / resin shroud supports should hold knurled brass inserts quite well, I'd have more confidence in their reliability than say .. KTM's wood screws into plastic arrangement...

    Hard Enduro test

    Thanks for uploading the 1st videos of the Varg on single track trails. How do you think the Stark compares to your 300 two stroke as far as overall feel & ease of maneuverability in the slow, technical terrain ? Which bike is easier when the speeds are below 12-15mph ? Can you loft the...

    New Stark Varg products are coming - Luxon Triple Clamps

    39:30 on the vid. So .. the guy who makes triple clamps for a living has the concept backwards according to P Thede ? That would seem a bit strange. Maybe there's more to it when at speed than just the size of the contact patch ? Speedway bikes must give chassis designers terrifying...

    New bike day!!! First customer delivery worldwide!

    So it shall be written .. thanks Bryan. It's understood that Stark had / has a design target of a pro level full moto 30 +2 which uses a LOT of energy. Most amateur MX races are far shorter & the power requirements lower for that level of rider, single track riding uses even less energy unless...

    New bike day!!! First customer delivery worldwide!

    Terrific - thanks. How tall are you Bryan ?, bike in pic looks smallish with you on it, does it feel smaller, thinner, lower than your Alta ? Maybe I can live with 260 lbs on single track the overall platform is that compact.

    New bike day!!! First customer delivery worldwide!

    Wow. They really are beautiful motor bikes. Congrats, bet it's a short list of those who have both an Alta & a Varg in the garage. Are there no adjustable steering stops on it ?

    Conflicted once again as to this purchase, at least for my intended usage. Maybe demo rides may present themselves at local dealers soon.

    Stark Varg - Owners Manual

    Thanks for uploading the file. As I sit here & peruse the manual while enjoying some particularly good rum .. a few things are of interest. Warranty. Two years, hooray ! , that's certainly never been done before for a dirt bike. The thing is though, under the section 'does not cover'...

    Good synopsis - thanks. I was interested in one of those when announced, but in the initial test Tucker did on it he stated it was smaller than a Freeride-E & that decided it for me as I owned one of the 2 stroke Freerides ( same chassis ) & found the short wheelbase & steep steering angle too...

    You're gonna be glad you bought the full size wheels & gummy tires - as with many of the small e-bikes, there is a struggle to get underway if any momentum is lost going up hill. Hard-ish enduro Aussie style ;
