    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Encouraged by such a no-compromise focus on performance. I once bought a Freeride 250R 2s & moved heaven & earth in an attempt at a 205lb XCW type machine. Couldn't overcome the designed-in chassis geometry & limited suspension performance despite $ignificant modifications to both.

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Can't believe that their paid testers ( Hill & Tortelli ) would want to look like lying stooges for an unknown manufacturer. Hill in particular seems to be well regarded concerning his experience & estimation of the Alta machines, reasonable to assume he has a good reference point. I've...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Brilliant ! Guess the remaining pieces of the puzzle are just down to software / programming. Carry on & thanks.

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Indeed, there's several videos of extended trail rides by a fellow in Hawaii on one of the Electric Motion bikes with a hydraulic clutch - from what I can tell it's more of an 'all or nothing' type of engagement than what we're used to on a gas bike. It's encouraging that Stark realizes there's...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Based on most of what I'm seeing here & the premise of a lighter OA package, better suspension & more adjustable parameters - this new bike could be / should be brilliant for what I have in mind. Sounds as if I'll need to somewhat re-learn throttle control for an e Bike though in current...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Lots to digest & some differing viewpoints as expected regarding off road capability. Figured Alta owners would be the best source for real opinions. Thanks ! ^^^ This ! Reason enough perhaps as the older I get, the heavier even a 250 two stroke feels in technical terrain. So an even...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Have fitted my last 3 bikes with a recluse & if the power delivery of an electric machine is at least as user friendly as the gas / rekluse combination, that'll be just fine. Sure hope the specifications being touted are manifested in the production versions. The stated weight is about the...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    So yeah, I'm a new guy to the forum & have never owned an electric bike. Hello one & all. Pony'd up my hunnert bucks within hours of the initial presentation of this Varg machine. The prospect of a far lighter Alta concept with KYB suspension, user programmable power delivery & ( perhaps )...
