Crazy now with 5.0 Ah it will only take 56 cells to get 1 kWh, a couple years ago with 4.2 Ah it would have required 66 cells. So yeah using more cells, say 40, the gains become larger and larger. Electric dirtbikes reaching almost 8 kWh 🤯

Electrics are now legal to race in Belgium MX and Supermoto https://www.fmb-bmb.be/96494/les-motos-electriques-font-leur-entree-dans-le-championnat-de-belgique-de-supermoto/

Thanks for the news. I'm guessing 13% increased capacity mainly comes from new cells, that's pretty cool for EV manufacturers to have suppliers regularly improving their cell capacity. A first review of the current prototype would be great, just as Tucker Neary happened to be in Europe.

I could be wrong but I think that's the first official confirmation that Stark is using P45B cells...

Haven't been looking at their Insta for a while, looks to be going pretty well for them. They're advertising a new 7.9 kWh capacity, that would be NUTS. Fast charge as well. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2Z80umtC8m/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link...

Here is the link for 2024 France MX technical regulations: Règlement Technique Motocross - 2024 "Electric motorcycles are eligible to participate in all national championships provided they went through an expertise to determine in which category they should race. Motorcycles able to change...

Well the official FFM article is very short on details: https://www.ffmoto.org/actualite/conference-de-presse-2024-9-janvier-2024-paris-3e "Electrification of disciplines: In view of the social and environmental challenges facing our sport, the French Motocross Championships will fully...

Hell yeah they're taking their sweet time, I've been waiting for specs for 7 years (unveiled as Mugen e-rex in 2017)!

Great article 👍 One thing the AMA made clear is that race organizers supplemental rules need to be approved by the AMA. Like electrics having been authorized to race in AMA Endurocross for years via supplemental rules but nothing guarantees that will be the case this year. Dieter Rudolf raced...

Actually I think their CEO went racing Dakar. It will be interesting to see if it can sustain the abuse from pro SX riders and how range compares to others. Philip, can we start a thread for Honda CR-E in this subforum?

If you have not already seen it, you should check Stark CEO interview, he talks about incoming features for the app at the beginning, including customizable power curves that had been advertised from the start.

It's 50 hp, 108 kg, 6 kWh, $11 000. So compared to 60 hp Varg you can spare $2 000 to get a bike 10 kg lighter with 10 hp less and 10% less battery. For $500 you can upgrade to 6,75 kWh battery but no word on weight. For $200 you can get an electronic clutch but haven't seen any details on...

Anton Wass talks about the range update, and remote data, and many more things in this great interview

Stark just won the Arenacross UK championship with Jack Brunell, also won in the team standings. Great achievement to compete immediately against 450s, lots of regularity as well with 4 different Stark riders stepping on the podium across the season and putting one Stark rider on the podium at...

You should really listen to the interview (use chapters in video description), they're going to send them for free...

Good summary! Honda may get there sooner than he thinks, which would be great for customers... and for enabling racing electrics at the highest level. The interview was recorded just days before FIM explorer Osaka round where this picture took place.

Didn't really know in which thread I should post this so apologies if you need to move it Anyway, really lengthy interview covering a lot of ground, some great details in there. The interviewer is enforcer Enduro who did great videos on the range for Enduro.

Good point, for me swappable batteries make sense for lighter and less powerful bikes, so you don't have to lug around a hefty and very expensive spare. Or maybe just for (pro) enduro riders, like when Taddy B completed his first 3 h race.

Very curious about this as well. Experience will tell but from what we know here is a small "theoretical" calculation. I think Stark 6.5kWh battery pack uses 400 x 21700 Molicel P45B batteries. Say you need to get a new battery after 500 cycles when you may have lost about 20% range (that...
