I understand that we are responsible for what we do etc. but I don't think that there is a significant risk of fire or overhrating if the bike is in standby mode. Maybe an ongoing charging state like suggested above, which I believe could be done with a current smaller than 1A anyways could...

Hey I love riding, too, so I completely understand your frustration, like, I think, a lot of other people here. I don't know you, but just maybe try and enjoy your weekend anyways and don't think about it. If you won't have an answer until monday, then don't think about it until monday. Don't...

Does this work when the bike is shut down, meaning with no light at all from the LED in the control switch? In their video and pdf tutorials they say that the bike should be turned off before disassembling electrics or electronics, but in their videos and documents sometimes they consider it...

Maybe the best solution would be to have a wall socket with a switch and start and stop the power supply only when both plugs are connected. I just thought that with a smart bike and a smart charger there wouldn't have been a difference.

... and I think that F1 shares a similar problem: just like Ryan Hughes said recently in a video, when an F1 car passes by it impresses people with that sound which I find so wild but so artificial at the same time; I have never heard a Formula E passing by but from some videos I've watched I...

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...

Research done: apparently there are different classes for those gloves according to the ASTM D120 standard, that is used even here in Italy: the 00 class should be suitable for the Varg, since it's approved for 500 V AC or 750 DC. They seem affordable. A piece of advice I've liked is to test...

Quite a revolution! I am no one and my opnion surely matters way less than Ferrari's one, but I am not convinced by their idea of just letting people choose their type of powertrain. Honestly I believe that very few things last forever: enjoying a sunset is something that people could do both...

All this makes sense, but if the alternative is to leave a dangerous battery at someone's house, well, that could result in injuries, deaths, or other troubles, too. Besides, I don't know about you but personally I'm not sure about the legal way in which I would be supposed to dispose of an EV...

Could anyone please explain the modification? ... It's not straightforward to me. I see that the top of the inverter has some aftermarket parts and that in the zone where the charging port used to be there is nothing.

I don't recall the source of the following piece of information; I think I've heard A. Wass saying it in an interview, but for that championship they used Vargs with what looks like the same battery case but with fewer cells inside because their capacity was enough and their combined weight...

Yes, it handles both the motor and the inverter: take a look at the description under the picture on their website: Motor IMO one of the problems of cooling the battery is that one should know where it heats up the most. I assume that that sort of polystirene of the skidplate hinders heat...

They do indeed advertise it for competition, I won't question that. On the other hand, they have also written in the manual that the recommended operational temperature range is up to 25°C/77°F. I did notice that before buying the bike but I bought it anyways because I'm way slower than...

In the video tutorials of the Varg, in the owner's manual and in their technical pdf files they write that high voltage components should be handled only by qualified personnel. Yet it seems to me that some people change power units or batteris on their own and some buy Talarias and upgrade them...

I've seen pictures of ICE custom bikes with rear brake rotors installed on countershafts and I know about ATK dirtbikes using that solution; using only regen braking should feel something similar; never tried one. Unfortunately the Varg is already so different from ICE bikes that many people are...

I've just checked: the same power station retails for 2,400 € discounted here. Refurbished ones don't cost much less than new ones. I hope it's just a matter of time and prices get lower here, too.

BTW, I hope that the price of power stations drops significantly as well since I'd really like to have one. Last time I checked, some days ago, they were still pretty expensive.

Here are the opinions of someone influential: I'd been wondering what he thinks about electric MX bikes because I'd never heard him saying anything about them before today. After all, even though I don't agree with everything, I think he has some good points.

Something amusing happened last saturday: I was riding in a not very crowded track and in certain straightaways I heard the noise of a four stroke getting closer but never really catching me. Then, being that the first time in which I rode an electric motorcycle with goggles tear-offs, I...

Thanks! BTW, the writings engraved on the shock match what is written in the owner's manual, which therefore don't match the table.
