    Throttle and traction control on the Stark

    We can try both a ramp rate and a filter. Although, flywheel achieves a similar effect even without a filter/ramp-rate on the throttle. As long as the filter is not too slow, it should not induce oscillations. For start I can try a filter only -- adjustable time constant with option to filter in...

    EX: Traction control and whiskey throttle for Enduro

    Ok, so imagine you are writing the software for this. Did the rider really want to do that or was that an "inadvertent input"? Remeber, you are blind and cannot see if what object is in front of the bike; another bike or a log... Now suppose you are a super smart programmer who also rides well...

    Interesting... thank you.

    Tip to re-establish Bluetooth connection between phone and bike

    How often does this problem happen? Quite often or once in a blue moon? Does it work without issue for some customers (rarely or never gives problems) but other customers have frequent issues with it? I would appreciate if people would take the time to respond.

    Post here your Stark Varg issues (or not!)

    suggestion: specify if MX-gen1 or MX-gen2 (and i suppose enduro coming)

    General Poll, response appreciated

    Does anyone want to see this demonstrated in a parking lot in a totally unprofessional video?

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    I know, I was just teasing a bit. Can you try this? Set up map 1 at a power level where you are comfortable riding. Set up map 2 so that a twist of the throttle will loft the front end as desired. Perhaps 60, 70, or more HP. As you approach the obstacle switch to map 2 to enable you to loft...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    You must be twisting the throttle wrong.

    What's everyone doing with the Stark charger/stand?

    I spent 30 years of my life in the USA so I have a bit of a feel for it even though I have been in Europe for about 20 years now. The cars I have bought here are Japanese, but I have "inherited" some European. You cannot buy a normal European point A to B car in the USA. You cannot even buy the...

    What's everyone doing with the Stark charger/stand?

    I was there... saw the whole damn thing... know who is responsible for what decision. If you want to point the finger of blame at anyone then Apple/Jobs is the main culprit.

    Power curve and traction control adjustability ?

    Read this thread: https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/poll-response-appreciated.3870/ Then ask any questions that are still in your head.

    Is there a list of Error Codes anywhere out there?

    Water ingress can be both "acute" and "chronic" let's say. With acute being it won't work after being pressure washed, and chronic being it works but gradually degrades from corrosion. I would avoid pressure washing around critical areas even if you pack the connectors with grease. I wouldn't...

    Is there a list of Error Codes anywhere out there?

    OK, here goes... First a disclaimer. We a couple test bikes for development purposes. We don't regularly take them out, get them muddy, and wash them. So we have not had water ingress issues because we simply don't put them under that kind of stress. If we did expose them to "water ingress...

    Is there a list of Error Codes anywhere out there?

    The connectors are supposed to be IP67. If the connectors do not seal that is because of poor wire/cable choice (like improper outer diameter) or poor assembly. This weekend I will post a few photos of possible solutions/aids.

    Is there a list of Error Codes anywhere out there?

    I think some supplier in China but I'm not sure. We didn't ask. They didn't tell.

    Is there a list of Error Codes anywhere out there?

    Among a number of things we manufacture/assemble for the Varg, we used to assemble the map switch for a short while (a month or so). The map switch cable must be relatively thin to pass through the sealing grommet. This means that the individual wires inside the cable are quite thin. They are...

    Stark weird noise and no crawl/ reverse... Drive train not reacting to throttle inputs

    The phone should really have nothing to do with it. That round connector is very important as it connects the VCU to the inverter (motor controller). I don't think it is software -- it is behaving like you have a loose connection, bad wire crimp, or water in the system somewhere. Edit: the...

    Stark weird noise and no crawl/ reverse... Drive train not reacting to throttle inputs

    My first guess is water ingress -- just like you said -- it dried off given time and now works fine. Sealing is a Varg weak point. My second guess is a mechanical connection problem like a cold solder joint or poor wire crimp or connector. Here the temperature can make a difference where thermal...

    Stark weird noise and no crawl/ reverse... Drive train not reacting to throttle inputs

    If not mechanically binding when turning by hand... then most likely problem with rotor position sensor (motor rotor) itself of with communication between the inverter and sensor. Or sensor magnet has become loose.
