    Media Review Media Week in Spain - Electric Cycle Rider

    I am sure the Varg, like the Alta, has a 3-axial accelerometer chip. It will show exactly 1g of downwards acceleration every time the bike is up in the air. Disable traction control when this happens for longer than 0.5 seconds. Problem solved. I hope the Varg has a 3-axial gyro chip too...

    Ha! We do the same on the Alta by changing from the stock 12-tooth front sprocket to 13T or 14T. This decrease the mat torque by 7-14% and makes the bike more rideable at low speeds, allows you to pin the throttle and hold it wide open. And you can then use Map 4 more often, and the bike will...

    What you are describing here in such a great detail, Matt, is exactly what Tesla has been working on. So, 14 years after they have sold their first car, they are still working on improving this algorithm based exactly on the inputs that you are describing. And that is so that folks never "ran...

    General The "Big 6" will catch up... maybe in 4-5 years

    I think the "tool" would also be somewhat complex and possibly expensive. If you remove the structural battery pack, then the bike can fall apart, unless it is held by the "tool" and two people. But I am really glad that this tool exists and Stark finally realized that there will be a demand for...

    Congrats on your electric racing achievements, @DirtFirst! Not to try to diminish the accomplishments of KTM, but I think the Gypsies were talking about Stark Future being ambitious enough to take a technological leading role in the dirt bike industry. And, from what I am hearing, they could...

    Also, roll the throttle forward for an adjustable supermoto-style regen! All e-bikes should have that feature!

    I would take a Horn button over any Reverse button on any day! Yes, a Horn button must come standard on ALL MODELS!

    I want a 5" front wheel lift going down the entire length of the starting straightaway please!

    This is very-very important! Thank you for clarifying that! I noticed folks were fiddling with the % of max power setting and the regen brake setting only. And on a 60-hp model most were fairly comfortable when the power was set to 90%. This is a good baseline already. With a tunable TC and...

    Wil it be filled with chocolate or cream?

    The "Professional" media goons are silly rabbits!

    I wish I could understand better what that ideal rpm / torque relationship you think should be. Maybe then we could ask Stark to make it that way. I can roll or ride my Alta into my motovan fast or very slowly, with a much better control than I can ride my gas bikes. It is not all torque or...

    Media Review Media Week in Spain - Racer X

    Jason: I think on a Stark... No one has a chance. it's impossible to beat it. No way. And even, years ago, watching Josh Hill on an Alta, you can see that the acceleration from zero was so much better. Anton: Have you ridden an Alta? Jason: A little bit, yeah... Not a lot, but a little bit...

    I think I will try to keep mine at 80hp but play with traction control instead. I want to scare myself, but stay safe at the same time, LOL!

    Alta MX Cone Valve / Trax Suspension Swap

    Hmm... Maybe you are right. I thought KTM switched to the AER48 air fork and a shorter rear shock in 2017?? Maybe they switched to the shorter rear shock earlier. But regardless, any rear shock that is compatible with the 2014-2015 KTMs would definitely fit the Alta MX/EX/SM.

    In some slo-mo cornering shots, it appears that the Varg has a bit of power understeer. No big deal, nothing that we can't fix with some rear sag and the fork height adjustments.
