this has been my experience too. force quitting the app. turning the bike on and off. sometimes turning the phone on and off. sometimes it unlocks fast, other times i've wasted 10 minutes when I could have been on my way home.

This is why they just took 100M investment. Loads of new bikes for all the different types of bike markets.

It's certainly a unique option. But I doubt the fuel efficiency would be close to a generator. Then there are factors like wear on the bike/tyres. Great for a specific situation where you need just a little bit more juice to make it out of a valley for example. Say the other bike can't tow you...

Take it easy Mark. You write that it's not a pissing competition but constantly brag about yourself as if you're a pro racer and then hate on others when they say they can do the same thing. You speak of "keyboard warriors" as if it doesn't include yourself. Plenty of blokes on here posting...

I must have missed this. all the interviews around the time of the EX launch mentioned (for the MX as least) that the US was by far the biggest market.

or maybe that's where the 100 million of more investment is going. More titanium printers. 🤷‍♂️

Good points. But its still the biggest market. So not unlikely that they'd sell only to the US from that factory. Would save on shipping and tariffs.

"injecting capital from an invite-only round of existing owners with strategic value to the firm" Its existing owners, so likely just getting money for a new factory. my 3 guesses: - New US factory - New model factory - combination of both

seems ok as a ballpark number, but not all parts are as large or as intricate as the sabre. Its understandable that the huge block of 188 sabres took 248 hours. But maybe 1 sabre is something like 4+ foot pegs if we take into account the volume of titanium, and may "print" faster because it...

yea you're right. I doubt they'll do any big changes to the current bike besides slapping on some SM wheels. It's nice to hope for in the future. I'd expect the Royal Enfield bikes will get there before a Stark branded bike with type 2 and DC charging becomes available.

this was refreshing to see. Stark SM needs this.

Easy to see why with some quick physics. edit: those copy paste formulas came out with terrible formatting. basically 2 main forces, rolling resistance and drag. rolling resistance is linear but drag from wind is cubed with speed. 30 km/h (8.3 m/s): ≈ 0.40 kW 60 km/h (16.7 m/s): ≈ 1.74 kW 80...

If you keep it under 50mph (80kph) you should get close to 1km for every 1%. 100km or 60 miles. That's my experience with my bike riding to and from work, a 52km round trip on 50kph - 80 kph roads and occasionally ripping 100kph bursts to get around traffic.

Good poll idea. Its very detailed on some of the specifics though. I would keep it simpler to find if people prefer 1. a larger battery/range 2. a lighter bike 3. fixed or swappable battery. Obviously I would take the best of all, bigger battery, lighter bike and swappable battery. But...

That's a lot of airtime. for every 7 miles you've been in the air for a whole minute haha.

Yes the stock front brake disc is thinner than the 320 brake disc which I got for SM so i moved the whole wheel 1mm away with a thin spacer, I'll remove material from the brake caliper adapter eventually.

That does sound like a challenge. I would prefer to use the stock Stark phone to run it on, purely because the mount holds the phone so well onto the bike. The Varg app is aggressive, it won't even let me turn bluetooth off, just turns it straight back on.

I have the same problem. The only way I can reliably lock the bike is to lock it while the bike is powered on and in neutral. and then turn the bike off and take away the phone. The app crashes a lot, and when it boots back up it will unlock the bike if you have the phone unlocked, regardless of...

SM wheels lowers the bike a lot. See how it feels for you before changing the link.

It might. 83mph is 134kph. I've that's not far off max speed with stock gearing and wheels. His SM setup means he is actually moving approx 20% faster. (33.3% faster through gear ratio change, minus some for wheel circumference change) Old: 12/48=0.2512/48 = 0.2512/48=0.25 New...
