    Battery Cooling

    Yes, it handles both the motor and the inverter: take a look at the description under the picture on their website: Motor IMO one of the problems of cooling the battery is that one should know where it heats up the most. I assume that that sort of polystirene of the skidplate hinders heat...

    Varg Down on power - Thermal Limiting

    They do indeed advertise it for competition, I won't question that. On the other hand, they have also written in the manual that the recommended operational temperature range is up to 25°C/77°F. I did notice that before buying the bike but I bought it anyways because I'm way slower than...

    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...

    Stark Suggestions

    I've seen pictures of ICE custom bikes with rear brake rotors installed on countershafts and I know about ATK dirtbikes using that solution; using only regen braking should feel something similar; never tried one. Unfortunately the Varg is already so different from ICE bikes that many people are...

    How long are we expecting the Stark battery to last (long term)

    I've just checked: the same power station retails for 2,400 € discounted here. Refurbished ones don't cost much less than new ones. I hope it's just a matter of time and prices get lower here, too.

    How long are we expecting the Stark battery to last (long term)

    BTW, I hope that the price of power stations drops significantly as well since I'd really like to have one. Last time I checked, some days ago, they were still pretty expensive.

    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    Here are the opinions of someone influential: I'd been wondering what he thinks about electric MX bikes because I'd never heard him saying anything about them before today. After all, even though I don't agree with everything, I think he has some good points.

    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    Something amusing happened last saturday: I was riding in a not very crowded track and in certain straightaways I heard the noise of a four stroke getting closer but never really catching me. Then, being that the first time in which I rode an electric motorcycle with goggles tear-offs, I...

    Stark Varg Factory Suspension Default Settings

    Thanks! BTW, the writings engraved on the shock match what is written in the owner's manual, which therefore don't match the table.

    Phone app did not record my ride

    Is it possible that there was no continuous GPS reception for the ride with no GPS and distance data? Maybe if the receprion is interrupted for a significant time, the app, instead of showing incorrect data, will not show data at all. Maybe the duplicate ride with no time nor distance was just a...

    Phone app did not record my ride

    What version of the app are you using? I've had some trouble with the penultimate version (I don't recall the number): sometimes not all the data of each ride were recorded and the riding time was one possible missing piece of data. The overall hourage resulted to be less than the actual one...

    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 big Stark Varg supermoto information topic

    I've never used a MX bike converted to SM; my SM bike was already like that from factory, but typically people complain about MX forks being too soft and diving too much when braking on asphalt; well, if the Varg fork is too stiff for motocross, maybe it will be right or at least acceptable for SM.

    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    Another thing to consider is that electric bikes riders can hear people coming from behind better, which contributes to safety.

    Powertrain failed and making horrible sounds

    What you've written is true and maybe our Vargs are still the most reliable motocross bikes out there, cosidering the crazy amount of maintenance needed by gas bikes and their low reliability. I also add that you can stall a gas bike in the air (too much rear brake, fouling a plug, running out...

    Battery price

    The new price sounds like awesome news for sure! Now it's even cheaper than a power station having the same capacity. Considering that the coolant only cools the inverter and the motor and that active cooling is an available option for charging, the inverter must somehow be involved while...

    Powertrain failed and making horrible sounds

    This is the second time I read about a jammed rear wheel in a Varg. It sounds pretty dangerous; when airborne, if I close the throttle with 100% regen braking, the front end of the bike dives; I guess that if the motor and the wheel stopped spinning suddenly, I would front flip. Also, those...

    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    THUG LIFE Ahah actually I think that you are completely right!!!! Besides, as far as I've understood that EV noise they consider so awful comes mainly from the transmission and their transmissions make a similar noise; they just can't hear it because of their mufflers! Sorry for the offtopic...

    Charging question-bike won't take a charge

    If I recall correctly, when I leave the bike engaged it will automatically switch to neutral after some inactive time, I think a minute, and then it will automatically switch to standby after some minutes of inactivity. Therefore, I think that you can't leave it on. What was the status of the...

    New bike help needed

    Same for me: they transferred the ownership.
