That's what I thought too. /Political rant/ I agree that tariffs are indeed stupid. Not every foreign company is subsidized by foreign governments or has the luxury to move production to the US. These tariffs are against the US consumers. They will be added to the price of the goods on top of...

Heads up! 🏁 Dust Pre-Seed Funding Goal Reached ✅ They used Wefunder. The closing date is March 7th (today!). https://wefunder.com/dustmoto I like what they are building and how they are building it. I have just invested. :ricky:

Electric Hybrid Vehicle Technology.com magazine has an article on electric motorcycles, including the Stark Varg. https://www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com/ https://ehv.mydigitalpublication.co.uk/november-2024/page-52

Done. I have added more metrics and colors to the data summary above.

However, the trend from the last 6 rounds also matters. Maybe there was a breaking point after which everything started improving and will keep improving. We will see... The two Prescott rounds were clearly his two worst ones. It must be the slippery dirt that I saw.

Alright. With more data, it now looks like only the fastest laps are improving. What that means, I think, is that when he sees/feels the advantage of the Stark, then he goes for it. Otherwise, he settles and plays it safe.

Conclusions: - Gurthie and Prescott didn't work for Hicks on a Stark very well. - Reno was a mixed bag. - Daytona was great for Hicks on a Stark. - Hicks on a Stark is less consistent than Hicks on a Yamaha. - All the trendlines are towards faster lap times for Hicks on a Stark. In the next...

Let's geek out on statistics!

Yes, Hicks is awesome. Wins a heat, does the post-race interview, them walks over to the starting gate when his other bike is already waiting for him. I was planning watch his lap times on both bikes, but when I started playing attention, I think he had the worst start ever on the Stark and...

This is from 2 weeks ago in Prescott, AZ

Now we are talking Traction Control. As far as I know, the Alta has a simple and effective RPM acceleration limit in each map. Yes, a heavier flywnheel would definitely help the Stark. @DonCox and I were at the Arenacross in Prescott, AZ a couple of weeks ago, and we watched how the Stark pro...

Selling my Guts Racing RJ Wing Seat cover already installed onto the stock Stark Varg seat pan and foam. I would trade it for your stock black seat if you want to add $200. Or, if you want to buy it outright, it is $350 for the complete assembled seat, shipped to you within the USA. The seat...

And if you already own a Stark and are noticing the same throttle control and traction issues, you should email support@starkfuture.com and open a trouble ticket. Riding the Stark on my dusty and slippery local track is a trouble.

Stark must be the lowest-end then. It's either a no-go, or it starts throwing rocks and digging trenches!

Riding my Stark and my Alta back-to-back again today. I think I figured it. What the Stark is missing is a good low-pass filter on its throttle input, which Alta has. On the Alta I can ride carefree in Map 4 and have fun all day long even on old tires on a dry, hard, bumpy and dusty track. This...

Depends on the track. If traction is plentiful, then yes. But today's track was dry, hard, and dusty, so I was doing more coasting and needed less regen to coast longer, so 40% felt okay.

OOPS! I had to correct this. I had 45 hp on the Varg. The Alta has better traction, but the throttle and power near the WOT position is a bit flat. The Varg has a better kick neat the WOT position, but the traction is lacking, and in flat corners it feels like I am in the 1st or 2nd gear, I...

I am running the Stark and the Alta back-to-back today. My Alta has a 12/45 wearing, which is similar to 14/53. To make them feel similar, I set the Alta into Map 4 and th Varg to 45 HP and 40% regen.
