    Battery is dying so fast...

    thanks, it was worth a shot. light speed is out of business so I have zero info on battery or tuning. basically I just ride it.

    Battery is dying so fast...

    hi, I just noticed in your post that your light speed battery goes out of synch? I've been having an issue where after I charge the Sur Ron it will not respond for a day up to 4 weeks and one day I twist the throttle and it is a bike again and runs fine until I recharge it again. I've tried...

    TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alpha Now only $10,900 OTD

    alta dropped their prices about three grand before they went belly up, I hope this isn't the case with stark but with the whole not allowed to race thing could put them in dire straits(not the band).

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    no way I am picking on Bryan Haskell, the first varg customer, but in one of his videos he lost the hole shot to a pro rider on a gasgas ice bike and that guy just walked away from Bryan. Bryan is a damn good rider, just not a pro. this shows that the bike is not that much of an advantage if a...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    remember when abc's wide world of sports put on an event called the super bikers where drag bikes, road racers, flat trackers, tt racers and motocrossers all showed up and raced a half dirt/ half street track. inline 4 cylinders , parallel twins, v twins, singles, 2 strokes and 4 strokes...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    I don't even like bracket racing....head to head or forget it. that's the meaning of racing, to find out who and what is the fastest or most powerful. classes just muddy things up(except age brackets). 125's, 85's, 250's, 300's, 450's, 650's, electrics, let em all run together. find out what's...

    the ic.e. age is almost over! I hope electricity didn't jump too soon. what I mean is this has been done before. there was a time when cars ran on...gasoline, steam, diesel or electricity. gasoline won out because it made more power and refilled quicker. it was all around safer and the main...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    I don't think electric vehicles by high end sports car manufacturers is nearly as appalling as Maserati, porsche, jaguar and Ferrari s.u.v.'s. what's next? corvette school busses? At least e sports cars will look cool and go fast.

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    my hovercrafts propeller pretty much drowns out the engine sound, but dirt bikes with propellers sounds dangerous. imagine running into someones blades out on the track. I can hear the race commentators now " number 27 took a bad fall in turn 6 and it looks like...yes, he's been eviscerated...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    this is bringing back memories of slot car racing when I was a kid. I remember hearing the roar of tiny electric motors and getting butterflies with the anticipation of racing. I also remember the higher notes of the faster cars and really being drawn to them. sure racing will be quieter but no...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    I hear people say that the sound of an ice engine is irreplaceable and that electrics make no sound( I'm talking motorcycles here), but my Altas sound is exciting to me, especially in the dirt, and the zero I can hear when accelerating out of a corner or off the line. people are crazy, electrics...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    honda is famous for their fit and finish. this is a prototype not finished product. prototypes are for testing and making adjustments so they may not mount things in such a way that would make it difficult to swap out and/or adjust. sometimes things are left uncovered to show components used and...

    Yesterday I rode an ICE bike

    no one understands until they ride one. no distractions(noise, clutch, shifting, stalling, etc.). battery technology will improve and range will get longer, weight will come down and power will go up and if they standardize batteries you can swap out like bbq grill tanks in less than a minute...

    I think the logic is that the batteries of electric bikes can catch fire and cause a hazardous condition where as everyone knows gasoline is not flammable!

    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    I know it's the rules but it just seems silly to make an electric bike sound like a gas burner. someone should come up with a cooler sound. like a helicopter or the Jetsons car/shuttle whatever it is. someone won pikes peak with a car alarm blaring the whole time. I still like ner nee ner nee...

    Rear hand brake - major fading, solution??

    if both bikes are based on Ktm's wouldn't an alta lhrb set up work on a Varg? if you change the master cylinder you can have pedal and lever like I run on my alta (rekluse), or just the lever like alta released. never seen a Varg in real life so I'm just ASSuming.
