    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Just experimented with this in the garage so no actual ride, but it works well enough for what I want to accomplish with a few caveats. What I did: I opened up the Stark app and my mapping app, so both were active. With bike in Neutral (N), I clicked bottom button to Engage and set my...

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Heard back from Seat Concepts. As mentioned, the Varg Race 2.0 Foam and Cover kit is already available on their website, but they confirmed they are working on a Varg 'Comfort' Foam and Cover kit. I'll likely go with that and install over the winter. Still have to decide if I just update my...

    Moving Varg charger to different case

    Inspired by others that have removed the Varg charger from the stand and moved it into a different case, thought I'd start a dedicated thread for this. There are already some great images and info in the thread Poll: Are you using the original Stark Varg Stand/Charger as intended? but thought...

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Anyone had a comfortable, trail riding seat made and installed on the stock seat pan yet? I've owned a lot of Seat Concept seats, and a few Sargent, over the years. Will probably order a second seat and put a seat kit on that seat pan rather than my original seat pan. I just reached out to Seat...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    This is the update I received from Stark. ---------- Currently, the Stark phone is designed to prioritize the VARG gauge display when the bike is engaged. This is to ensure that critical information related to the bike's performance and status is always visible to the rider. Unfortunately...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Nice! Thanks for the idea @AL_V and @FreedomFlyer. I hadn't thought of that...but then I only loaded my mapping app one ride ago. I'll do this until Stark makes a change. This is even more reason for them to work on this. Should be able to have Stark app running in the background so it can...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    I emailed Stark. Meanwhile, their auto-reply, that acknowledged receipt of email, suggested I ask their AI bought "Sam". www.starkfuture.com/sam (Note: You have to be logged in to your Stark user account to use it). I couldn't resist some fun. I really should have saved the conversation as it...

    Charging with Active Cooling System

    I found that curious as well as was curious of the point since the battery isn't liquid cooled. Seems like putting a fan blowing the battery while charging is about the only option for "active battery cooling" while charging. Ha.

    More information on display!!

    Yes on these! And, would like the ability to display my GPS/Trail/Mapping app, that I loaded onto the Stark phone, as I drive. I just started a thread on that one: Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding? Would really like to see that.

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    Took about 10 minutes to insure mine on the Progressive website. We already have two ATVs on a Progressive policy, so I logged in, clicked "Add/Get a Quote", typed in the VIN and it popped up as a Varg. It gave me the deductible and other policy options, and gave me a quote. Clicked submit to...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    I have a GPS/Trail/Mapping app that I loaded on my Stark phone (onX Offroad in this case, but question applies to any mapping/trail app). I've found that apps work and run normally on the phone, but while riding, only in the background. The issue is, every time you put the bike in drive, the...

    Stark Varg battery drained?

    Important to pull the phone out of the cradle and power it down as well and then you can put it back in the cradle or bring it inside. Phone can be charged with USB C cord right before you use it again so the bike doesn't have to charge it. Some wireless charging pads work on the phone as well...

    2025 KTM Freeride E

    All good points on the Lithium Ion. I suppose that the battery cycles to hours count depends on use case. Higher speed or more aggressive riding, 5.5kWh is about an hour of riding, but that is still 1,000 hours to degrade to 80% original capacity, so if someone rides even three battery cycles a...

    2025 KTM Freeride E

    Most press releases say 11kW nominal, which is 14.75 hp. This is confirmed on the KTM website, though it also mentions 19.2kW peak (which is 25.74 hp so maybe some releases use nominal and some peak?) My guess is the 11kW rated power has to do with the Euro A2 motorcycle license be limited to...

    New Stark Discounts/Stock Tube Issues

    Interesting! I found only one combination in the US that was not available immediately from the U.S. warehouse and that is any bike with a sidestand (every other combination is available in the warehouse and delivered in an estimated 10 days). The sidestand bike has an estimated delivery of...

    New Stark Discounts/Stock Tube Issues

    It's simply to liquidate current backlog of inventory. They built to the number of pre-orders and enough of those were not fulfilled that there is a surplus of bikes in the warehouses. This price is to reduce inventory and the price is only on in- stock bikes. Once those are gone, so is the...

    New Stark Discounts/Stock Tube Issues

    This isn't entirely different than other manufacturers offering rebates on a model year when new model year lands. Or on a current model when a new model refresh comes out. This might be a touch more money than those, but it happens yearly on many brands (dirtbike/motorcycles/ATV/UTV...

    New Stark Discounts/Stock Tube Issues

    In the U.S., you pay sales tax based on the State you live in. Some States have very high tax rate, some have zero sales tax (like my State). There is no federal/country tax. As for early adopters, I ordered day one, but have not yet fullfilled my order. I have $300 downpayment sitting there...
