    Tesla Model 3 tested as a rally car in snow

    The Mountain Pass kit he mentions should be this one. I've never done rally in real life but I know something about how to do it thanks mainly to the YouTube channel which posted this video and the awesome Richard Burns Rally driving simulator, in which Burns himself gives lessons and there are...

    electric motorcycles for military purposes

    I've watched some videos in which soldiers use electric motorcycles; here is one I've liked more than others. In that video, they mention a "reduced signature", which is something that I understand because of hours spent playing Digital Combat Simulator (who knows, maybe some of you will Google...

    Ryan Hughes talks about electric MX motorcycles

    Some years ago he said he had some fun on a Freeride: Half a year ago he didn't show hatred at all for electric MX bikes, he just said that there are cons with them: It sounds like recently he's changed his mind: Here is my comment to that last video, BTW. Sorry of the length of my comment...

    New genuine water pump kit for self bleed

    Check this out: I honestly think that the bleeding procedure for the G1 was too messy and possibly time consuming; never tried, though. The taller fitting should significantly increase the hydrostatic pressure if you fill the radiator up to its top. Besides, there will always be an air gap in...

    Overall he sounds pretty satisfied! His Youtube channel has 100K subscribers; a video like this is quite good to promote the Varg.

    dirt in the stop bump of the rear shock

    I've noticed that the stop bump has a groove around the shaft in which dirt can be trapped: I've removed the small grain indicated by the green arrow by sucking it with a vacuum cleaner, since I think that in this kind of situations compressed air can stick dirt even deeper. The nozzle of the...

    Italian electric brand Energica confirm bankruptcy Here is an interview of their CTO about the situation, to be translated from Italian: Energica, non tutto è perduto They used to be the MotoE supplier and then they were replaced by Ducati (BTW that V21L looks amazing). I'm sorry for them...

    https://www.mxgp.com/news/introducing-mxep-%E2%80%93-mxgp-develop-electric-class-2026 The electric bikes will compete in a separate class but in the same weekends, so people will be able to see what they can do, to hear how they sound and to compare lap times, even though most likely the best...

    FastCross in Italy on september 14th 2024

    Josh Hill is going to race a Varg in the FastCross event in Italy: As far as I've read, it's a race they used to have every year in the '80s and '90s up to the year 2000, when world-class riders competed. They restarted doing it in 2023, even though people say that now the level is not the same...

    Paralysed Doug Henry wins a World Vet motocross race using a modified Varg

    And here is an onboard, too: @ roughly 6:00 in the first video you can see his setup better: the original saddle has been replaced with that special one having a backrest and side braces, if I have seen right. Following AJ Catnzaro's advice that I've heard in his videos, even when I sit I push...

    charging plugs insertion sequence

    When I first got the bike I wondered in which order I was supposed to connect the plugs before charging and disconnect them after having charged. I therefore watched the video tutorial and it seemed clear to me that I was supposed to connect the bike to the charger after the charger had been...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    Quite a revolution! I am no one and my opnion surely matters way less than Ferrari's one, but I am not convinced by their idea of just letting people choose their type of powertrain. Honestly I believe that very few things last forever: enjoying a sunset is something that people could do both...

    DIY maintenance and safety for EVs

    In the video tutorials of the Varg, in the owner's manual and in their technical pdf files they write that high voltage components should be handled only by qualified personnel. Yet it seems to me that some people change power units or batteris on their own and some buy Talarias and upgrade them...

    clicking sound when fork compresses if you have LHRB

    Maybe you've watched this video and noticed the part about the clicking sound: I had that problem too the first day I rode my Varg and so before using it again I switched the positions of the brake lines: since then, on my bike the rear brake line is the closest to the number plate and the...

    the fork has snap rings which apparently mate to the fork guards

    Some time ago I noticed that the outer tubes of the fork had snap rings which, I supposed, held something and I didn't investigate futher. This evening I noticed that the right one is worn in a spot in which it seems like it may rub against the fork guard, which is pretty close to it, and that...

    do you store the bike in standby mode or completely off?

    In which mode do you store it? Why? Personally, up to some days ago I have kept it shutdown because: • I don't want thieves to notice a flashing red light in the darkness: there are some holes in the garage door, • I think that the flashing red light may accelerate the battery discharge a...
