    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I understand your logic however Stark is stating they want to compete at all levels of racing - in my opinion the option to swap the battery needs to be built into the design - think about the erzberg race Alta did and they had to swap the battery. When electric bikes get into the hands of top...

    General 15:50 Gear Ratio on EXR

    I put a 48T rear sprocket with a 15T front on an EXR and it improves range for street riding and still works really well for trail riding and MX tracks - I am thinking the stock EXR 13:53 gearing was totally unnecessary for mortals - maybe Josh Hill needs the power but for me it still wheelies...

    General 15:50 Gear Ratio on EXR

    That’s really interesting and helps in understanding how the power system functions. Any idea on how to tell what the Alta motor RPM actually is during operation / actual riding.

    General 15:50 Gear Ratio on EXR

    I have been playing with gear ratios on my EXR. I ride quite a bit on the street and sometimes single track and MX tracks. I put 15:50 gears on and the bike seems to conserve battery better when street riding due to lower motor RPM. I thought off road power would be sacrificed but actually I...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I really looked the frame design of the Varg by taking screen shots of a video you guys have on the Varg. It seems there a 3 large mounting points for the battery. I would be awesome if the design was basically the same but you could remove the plastics with a few fasteners and then pull 3...

    Electric Mountain Bikes

    I built this bike. It’s a Dengfu e-06 carbon fiber fat bike frame with a Bafang Ultra motor and a 14 amp hour X 48 volt detachable battery. I weighs about 60 pounds, has carbon fiber rims and tubeless which keeps the weight down. I played with gearing and have something between road and...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    That’s pretty impressive. How much does the bike weigh with the bigger pack.

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I really am hoping Stark makes battery removal as simplistic as possible so that a swap can be done with reasonable effort in 5 ish mintutes. If the battery is swappable and the spare can be charged away from the bike it opens up multiple possibilities like MX races where you have full charge...

    For Sale 2017 Redshift MX with amazing suspension!!

    I lowered my seat today the same way. I only took one inch off but it made a big difference for me. I actually wasn’t to difficult, just had to be really careful cutting the foam. Sanding with a rotary type electric sander was actually strait forward surprisingly. A picture marking the cut...

    For Sale 2017 Redshift MX with amazing suspension!!

    Nice work lowering your seat. Did you do the foam work yourself? I’ve got an electric turkey knife and planning to do the same thing, any advice you can give would be appreciated.

    Anyone Have Tubeless Advice For SM Wheel

    I am going to get a set of SM wheels for my EXR eventually. I would like to run tubeless, does anyone have suggestions on how to do this with SM wheels. I have my dirt wheels set up with the Tubeliss innertube system and it works well (but a pain to install). Tubeliss doesn’t seem to have...

    Anyone Using 16:53 Gear Ratio

    I have an EXR which came with 13:53 gears. I ride it on the street and on trails, sometimes MX. I tried 14T front and got a little more speed on the road and didn’t seems to lower power on trails. I recent tried a 15T front, this seems to help preserve battery riding at higher speeds on the...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    This is cool - nice to see Joh Hill involved in development. If you look closely a lot of the design elements are Alta derivatives - motor placement looks the same and seems to have a reduction gear like the Alta - a plastic subframe. The battery appears to be structural and having the battery...

    First impressions, upgrades, and review of my new 2018 Alta MXR. This bike is AMAZING!

    Based on your review I got a set. Ordered the wrong LHB but the front brake works so much better, almost crashed first time as locked up the front break. Everyone needs these levers

    My Output Shaft Snapped.

    The pre 1982 penny trick for gears is why I follow the forum so closely, some smart folks with lots of knowledge to share.
