Years past the first post but will still answer to it as if i did not have a Stark allready (wich i'm very happy with). Full power bike: -45kW -112kg -6kWh, 400V battery -liquid cooled motor and inverter with geared reduction So some questions for you (some might seem silly, but please humor...

230V 4kW has plenty power to spare at full charging.

Here in the Netherlands it's €11,999 incluiding all taxes and shipment delivered at the dealer. That's way cheaper than the KTM's and almost inline with the Japanese that sit around the €10.500 mark. Only Suzuki is way cheaper but that's an ancient kickstarter design. Sad for us early...

It's my money as an early adapter. Offcourse i would have loved the prices of new ones to stay were the were, but i knew this bike is cheaper to build than a ICE, so prices would come down. I just hope second hand prices will stay good enough until i got the change to buy the plated enduro when...

Agreed with the above. Buying a brand new model from a brand new brand is the best way to overpay and have startup issues. But also consider this. Everytime KTM/Beta etc come out with a new model the previous one dropps a 1000 euro to get them out of the showrooms. So far i know both have come...

Put the Stark in under 2000W charging and it will work. I have a 4000W generator and sometimes i have to use other power consumers parallel to the Stark. Then i just optimise the Stark. Generator power - other load - 200W safety = charging mode on the Stark. So in your situation i would charge...

As an early adapter you know you're going to pay big and will have development issues. Same here and all bikes now have a 1000 euro discount. But for that we got to be a few of the first with such bike and the fun that comes along. Those tubes arn't made cheap, they are made light. We have the...

I was the one talking 30 minutes motos. That is in the Netherlands and at nationals level. Amatures ride 15 minutes + 1 lap. But even faster amatures drain 50-70% in such races. A few people i know drain theirs empty in roughly 20-25 minutes and those arn't even top amature riders. I on the...

I think Stark should make work of their enduro to keep in the profit margin. You would need very strong arguments to convince me to sell my Varg, but a plated enduro version that is roughly the same to the Stark might be one. That way you could sell a second bike to the same people or have them...

Ok, took about a week and everything is very manual about it.

Double the heat would translate in roughly half the power? 40hp might do for some people.

Not so sure about that lip or overlap. A lip is more exposure and change to grip onto whatever. The overlap is a good way to transfer force that otherwise would only hit the cover onto the motor and thus cracking it. A plastic/rubber protector of roughly 5mm over the cover has a better change...

A factory team doesn't care for scratch protection. Plastic, especially when a few mm's thick and and bit rubber'ish can absorb and distribute a lott of force.

Mostly Keybord riders complain about weight. The high level MX riders ride what they are fastest on. If that happens to weigh 20lb heavy'er than a 450 so be it.

I use 40% and find it perfect for jumping. It's easy to apply gas to correct nosedive, but ''wheelie'' correction with brakes is a bit harder. Might be a preference thing though.

I think you're wrong. The really fast guys out here drain them in 20-25 minutes while their races take 30 minutes. So no Starks racing in higher regions here. The battery last me about 40 minutes, but i wouldn't want it smaller since charging otherwise won't keep up with my use over the day.

True, but that is to the buyer to decide if it's something they can live with. I don't know if it's possible, but lets say the same battery but everywhere below the frame as wide (or a bit wider) as the frame. Apart from weight no real downsides and 8 to 9 ish or maybe even 10kW. That would be...

Both smaller and bigger would sell i guess. For myself a 20 minute moto race would go well over 50% used, buth that's on sand tracks. I would love a 10kW battery, even with weight disadvantages.

I can see your point on hard-pack tracks with smaller jumps, especially with featherweight kids on it. However on the sand MX tracks we have over here it just sucks and jumping tables is out off league for the suspension. But now i'm judging a fish on its ability to fly.

Yeah for MX it just needs another frame, better suspension, a stronger motor and a bigger battery. Maybe they can reuse the valve caps..
