    Buying Stark Video

    Yep, no worries. I have no issue admitting when I am wrong. Ha. It's easy to expect the worst out of people lately. YT and other social media is constantly filled with examples of riders having total disregard for public opinion about motorcycle riders actions, public safety, destruction of...

    Buying Stark Video

    Good deal. I've VERY glad I was wrong on both accounts. Sorry and thank you for clarifying. None of that info about the damaged rail was conveyed in the video clip you chose to edit into this vid, so I could only go by that and your comment about riding by the gazebo a week later and the rail...

    Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.

    Note: Edited my post a few posts back (This one: Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.) to fix typos and re-worded for clarity (need to make the time to proofread better. Ha.)

    Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.

    True that I don't agree with @flailer regarding the Varg's non-fast-swappable battery being a "problem" with the bike since it's a design choice. If it's a deal breaker for a potential buyer, it simply means it doesn't meet the buyers needs. It's not a bike "problem" just like if the weight or...

    Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.

    Battery can be swapped. Just not quickly/easily. That was a design choice to help meet weight and packaging needs (and even with that they struggled with keeping weight down to target weight). It's similar to packaging of portable devices like mobile phones, like others have mentioned; having...

    Buying Stark Video

    Love the enthusiasm, but have to call out the lack of responsibility of destroying public property (destroying the gazebo rail and not owning up to it and paying for it or at least trying by contacting them, tearing up the grass area repeatedly in public grassy park section, etc.) That gives...

    Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.

    If it helps, Varg are currently on sale for $2,000 off MSRP, so that can help fund your solar trailer or generator projects.

    Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.

    Was reading down the thread and ready to type nearly this identical post. Now I don't have to. Ha. @flailer Definitely go with 48v batteries. And the all-in-one inverter. It's a shame the smaller EG4 3kW (EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter | 3000EHV-48 | 3000W Output | 5000W PV Input | 500 VOC Input)...

    Stark Varg 80HP to Duke 125 2017 conversion (engine)

    Would be an interesting project but require a fair bit of fabrication. Fitting the Varg's motor (it's electric, so use the term "Motor" and not "Engine") wouldn't be too big of an issue, but fitting the battery is where I'd expect you to run out of room fast. Or would you be building a custom...

    Stark secret stash spot

    Lots of options for adding bags. Number plate bags (lots of options because they are popular with the snowbike crowd), and various mini saddlebag, fender bag and tank bag options from a lot of manufacturers like Mosko Moto, Wolfman Luggage, Giant Loop, etc. Depends on how much you want to carry...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    I haven't received my Varg yet, but I assume, since they are mx, they come with non-ring chains, correct? Plus they are riveted and no master link. So I'll replace with an O-ring or x-ring chain anyway so will decide on sprockets before getting chain. I know o-ring sap a tiny bit of power and...

    Varg charging from generator.

    Of note, the battery is charged at the exact same voltage (I don't recall the voltage) no matter if the charger is running of 120v or 240v. Battery resistance doesn't figure into this conversation because the charger charges the battery with the exact same voltage no matter which voltage the...

    Varg charging from generator.

    There are a few things going on here. First, like other said, your generators max watt output is the limiting factor. Changing voltage in and of itself is not changing how many watts your generator is outputting. And, by using a voltage converter (going from 120v to 240v), you are losing even...

    E-bikes banned at FIM SuperEnduro - - Last minute rule change

    I see your argument. I'll note, though, there are plenty of aftermarket parts for EV. Besides all the parts that are the same as ICE (wheels, tires, chains, plastics, bars, suspension, etc.), you have battery, motor, controller, throttles, etc. Look at the endless mods available for Surron...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    I'm in the same boat, wanting to get refund on $100 deposit for one of my orders, since things changed so much since initial order (timeline, weight, delivery model, etc.). But not the end of the world if it's not a simple process and I knew what I was getting into when I put it down. I'll...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    For those whose dealerships are charging "doc fees" etc. (mine is not), I'm curious to hear final outcome if you push back and say you won't pay a penny more than the original agreement? What are dealerships doing? Obviously they have no control over, and not wiggle room on, passthrough costs...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    I'm in southwest MT and Hi-Tech Motorsports in Billings is the closest dealership. I didn't get to choose the dealership. Stark assigns the dealership based on your address in their system. They assign the closest dealership to that. I suspect it's a "change your address it changes the assigned...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    If you had your address set to MT address in Stark's order system, I would have expected them to assign a MT dealership to you. Curious if you had CA or MT in their online system? They were not verifying State of legal residency or shipping addresses that I know of. You might still be able to...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    You would have paid the exact same sales tax online even even if your Varg shipped direct to your door. When you check out on the website, it would have charged you the appropriate State sales tax. Varg being delivered through a dealership has no impact on the State sales tax you will pay.

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Yep. Same here. Super excited until I read it. Even though they say in big type "General Payment Instruction" and have a fake order number and name shown (Name is: Test Customer), I'm sure there will be some misinterpretation. Stark probably won't mind if a bunch of preorder holders pay in...
