    Varg MX 1.2

    Now on their website the original MX is no longer an option and you can only order the MX 1.2, which, as far as I've understood, is the MX updated with the EX improvements: 7.2 kwh battery, Arkenstone, etc. The weight is still stated to be 118 kg like the first MX version. The price is 500 €...

    Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1

    link to Ninja specs link to Z specs I've actually found them out only recently. Notice that they both have a foot operated rear brake. Each of them has two removable batteries. Personally I think that they can't become successful: too expensive for commuting in a city, too little powerful and...

    Yamaha MT-09 PHEV prototype

    Here is a video of it; I've watched it with the automatically translated subtitles: @ 5:21 you can see it being recharged via a plug. According to what I've read on non official websites, it uses Yamaha's SPHEV Series-Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology. From the way it's described in...

    Tesla Model 3 tested as a rally car in snow

    The Mountain Pass kit he mentions should be this one. I've never done rally in real life but I know something about how to do it thanks mainly to the YouTube channel which posted this video and the awesome Richard Burns Rally driving simulator, in which Burns himself gives lessons and there are...

    electric motorcycles for military purposes

    I've watched some videos in which soldiers use electric motorcycles; here is one I've liked more than others. In that video, they mention a "reduced signature", which is something that I understand because of hours spent playing Digital Combat Simulator (who knows, maybe some of you will Google...

    Ryan Hughes talks about electric MX motorcycles

    Some years ago he said he had some fun on a Freeride: Half a year ago he didn't show hatred at all for electric MX bikes, he just said that there are cons with them: It sounds like recently he's changed his mind: Here is my comment to that last video, BTW. Sorry of the length of my comment...

    New genuine water pump kit for self bleed

    Check this out: I honestly think that the bleeding procedure for the G1 was too messy and possibly time consuming; never tried, though. The taller fitting should significantly increase the hydrostatic pressure if you fill the radiator up to its top. Besides, there will always be an air gap in...

    dirt in the stop bump of the rear shock

    I've noticed that the stop bump has a groove around the shaft in which dirt can be trapped: I've removed the small grain indicated by the green arrow by sucking it with a vacuum cleaner, since I think that in this kind of situations compressed air can stick dirt even deeper. The nozzle of the...

    FastCross in Italy on september 14th 2024

    Josh Hill is going to race a Varg in the FastCross event in Italy: As far as I've read, it's a race they used to have every year in the '80s and '90s up to the year 2000, when world-class riders competed. They restarted doing it in 2023, even though people say that now the level is not the same...

    Paralysed Doug Henry wins a World Vet motocross race using a modified Varg

    And here is an onboard, too: @ roughly 6:00 in the first video you can see his setup better: the original saddle has been replaced with that special one having a backrest and side braces, if I have seen right. Following AJ Catnzaro's advice that I've heard in his videos, even when I sit I push...

    charging plugs insertion sequence

    When I first got the bike I wondered in which order I was supposed to connect the plugs before charging and disconnect them after having charged. I therefore watched the video tutorial and it seemed clear to me that I was supposed to connect the bike to the charger after the charger had been...
