Another small perk of a swappable battery would be for those that experience extreme climate temps that are outside of the recommended storage temps (cold and hot). I can't move the entire bike to a temperate area, but I could move only the battery to a place for the winter (indoors, basement...

Regarding eDirtbike regen, I only trail ride (no MX) and regen works for the majority of my slowing needs. It does require a slightly different style and the faster I ride, the more I rely on mechanical rear brake, but just relaxed trail riding, 80% regen does nearly all my rear braking...

Each State is different. Typically, Title if for ownership. Registration is for decal or license plate. In my State, you need one or the other unless your are only riding on private land. Then no registration needed. Registration will be for onroad, offroad or both. I only registrered my Varg...

Great point regarding waiting until the warranty runs out on current bike as there is value in that as well.

Very happy with my Varg as well. I won't be able to decide until I go through the motions of price spread next spring (EX vs what I can get for my Varg). Only at that point can I do the calculations. Plus we'll know more about battery adaptability. Honestly, with a spread of $4,000 - $6,000...

Just drafted an order just to see the details. Reservation for US orders is $299. Guess they learned that $100 isn't enough skin to weed out the tire kickers that result in unfulfilled orders and they wanted to up it so they get a more realistic idea of takers so they don't over build. Ha...

Congrats on the order. I plan to do the same (though I haven't ordered yet). I will wait to sell my Varg MX until the EX arrives since I plan to give my buyer the new charger/stand rather than me putting my charger, that has been moved to a hard case, back in the charger. But that will depend on...

It's an understandable, but expected situation with any new company, fast moving tech, or even when an established company releases a complete update to an existing model. Happens with phones, computers, etc. where you barely have the new version figured out and they slash the price as they...

Nothing has been released, but my guess is they will announce the MX revamp (change to wiring harness, phone, cradle, etc.) once the current inventory of MX are depleted for the sale price. Then the MX will go back to the higher price. Though interestingly, the Varg website will still price the...

He also mentioned the flag-type handguards save weight by attaching to the brake reservoirs. That makes me cringe, but as long as the brake reservoir and mount are plenty beefy and the handguard finds the balance between being robust enough but still the weakest point, should be OK.

Yeah, completely new phone and cradle. Nice. Mirrors will be included, I assume, but all the manufactures take them off for press releases and videos...because they are ugly. Ha. Rear plate sticking that far back will be nice for added mud protection provided it doesn't brake off getting...

I submit a similar TV analogy but rather than screen size changing, let's do resolution. The Varg is surly nearly as usable with 60hp vs 80hp and most of the time, riders will choose to run in 60hp or less. This would be similar to a large screen TV that can display two different resolutions...

Good summation. I got a kick out of the dildo material comment. Ha. Not sure that is a great look in all regions. But they are a bit more open on that type of thing in some EU regions. Ha. It's my understanding that the material, he is referring to, covers the turn signals built into the front...

If it comes with a $1,000 USD discount, I don't mind at all. I suppose it's how you frame it. Sits better if you think of it as saving $1,000 by getting the 60hp rather than full spec 80hp; Rather than framing it like you are paying $1,000 more to get 80hp. Now, what bugs me is subscriptions...

It is odd. Per website: EX: Seat height Fully extended 99.0 cm Static SAG 96.6 cm MX: Seat height 94,7 cm Maybe the EX has a taller seat? Or different linkage or shock mount? Or geo? But, more than likely, the website is just wrong. Ha. That is the most probably explanation. Or just...

Wouldn't they still be able to be sold as offroad only? Still a lot of benefits compared to the MX version, including headlight/tail/brake lights benefits for trail riding . Just can't license it? Wouldn't that be an option?

Long version of the press release video. I'll add it to my first posts further up, too.

The long version of the Varg EX release video.

The more I read, the more I'm convinced I'll sell my month old Varg and buy a Varg EX. I was going to respring/revalve, add handguards, and buy the gray plastics anyway (wanted gray but had to take a red to get discount pricing), so I may instead spend that towards the Varg EX with the bonus of...
