yea, its expensive. Looks like it would offer more protection than some of the vinyl stickers i've seen others offer.

I'm not sure I agree with you. They are obviously having supply chain issues on the bike side of the business, having to juggle an additional clothing supply chain adds an additional layer of complexity. In one of their marketing videos for the clothing launch they even talk about how hard it's...

Can't help but feel a sour taste after seeing Stark release a clothing line. Good on them for expanding the business and all, but having their focus elsewhere as pre-orders get pushed back feels disappointing.

Wow! You really got that thing sideways.

Sick photo! How long will it take you to convert the bike back for dirt. I'd assume you'll remove the fenders etc.

Got this email this morning with some vague information about the delay: I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your patience and for reaching out with your concerns regarding the delivery of your Stark VARG EX. We understand the frustration that a delay can cause, especially when...

A little transparency on reasons for delay would be appreciated. If I was in an industry where months of delay was considered normal, then I would adjust my estimates to customers to be more realistic. I'd rather deliver ahead of schedule than continually behind.

this is true. I figured they had a working production line though, so didn't expect their estimates to be trash this time around.

Wow. Crazy story. Seems like you were pretty switched on to not let them just get on and ride it. You even came up with a good compromise. I would have 100 percent been scammed in that situation.

Yea it would be nice to get a little more transparency. Mine got pushed back almost 7 weeks from the 13th of march to 29th of April.

I just got the email too. Moved from march 13th to April 29th. 47 days back! Total delay of 78 days since what was shown when I paid for the bike in full. If they are gonna lock features behind a subscription then we should all demand a few years subscription included as compensation for the delay.

In additon, here in Norway the EX costs 129000 nok because of less tax on electric vehicles. Then with an 11000 rebate the end price ends up being 118,000NOK or 10,000 Euro. Its 3900 Euro cheaper to buy and register the EX in Norway. I did the calculation for pounds too, 3600 pounds cheaper...

Lots of well off kids here in Norway with that kind of money. The 125 market is high demand for that reason. Not sure how much their parents are or aren't involved but I often see beat up 125's with loads of hours resell for more than 250's/300's

Crazy right. I think we'll see this type of regulation for electric bikes change over time. It means 16 year olds can ride 80HP bikes here in Norway on the streets. Norway also give government support to people buying electric bikes here in Norway if they're registered. 11000 Nok back for A1...

Seems about right. Only 2 weeks now until myself and many others are supposed to receive them.

seemed like it yes. Maybe Stark asked them to take it down, who knows. It did show that there were some standard settings like HP, regen, etc. But then there was also an advanced settings tab that seemed to require a subscription.... so that will be interesting if we end up with power curve...

filming a landscape screen in portrait mode 🤦‍♂️

Surely Stark has this sorted. And they will be registered similar to other enduro bikes from the big brands. My last bike was a 250EXC and it was fine here in Norway at least. I asked chatgtp and got this response. ABS Requirements for Enduro Bikes in Europe: Euro 4 (2017) & Euro 5 (2021)...

Yea that seems the best option to start with. Then i'll consider buying the track a charger if there are a few of us using it. Electricity is cheap in Norway through the summer, sometimes negative prices, so the track might even get paid a small amount for us to charge :D Would be good to see...

Would be good to see some level of adjustment available in the future. I see even on cheap kids electric bikes they have the ability to adjust not only top speed but acceleration and throttle response delay. Being able to fine tune the throttle response and power curve would be amazing, so I...
