    New VARG Software Update.

    I think I read here that crawl/reverse was developed by a different company and gifted to Stark. Not sure who is developing it now. I only use the crawl to load the bike in the van when it's on an incline and I'm too tired to push. It is not practical as a low-gear and I look forward to try...

    New VARG Software Update.

    Good to know, thanks. No update for my bike right now. I use it 2x1.5h per week an average.

    New VARG Software Update.

    What is the point of trickling out a software update? It's not like they will run out of bandwidth. It only complicates the process for no advantage, from my view. Note this about 4G. If you have the phone connected to your house WiFi that may be used first.

    General Suspension on the EX

    What brand of springs did you use? I wish I didn't read this. Due to dealer error my EX came with 'Soft' springs. I hoped I could use it as all I ride is hardpack terrain at low-ish speed, but it's now certain no. I weigh ±72kg + 12kg of gear ≅ 85kg. I asked Stark specifically about this and...

    BBM Hiro

    Hero displayed a couple of electric bikes at EICMA. I can't find any details right now.

    Yamaha YE-01

    At this rate of development all the Yam/Hon/Kaw/Suz fanboys will die of natural causes before the bikes are delivered. Cultivating a new cohort of customers willing to pay premium prices for BNG-raphics will be hard.

    Yamaha YE-01

    They likely have an in-house prototype, but this isn't it. The bike in these pictures, and the one mounted far and high on the wall at EICMA may as well be made of paper mâché. I'm sorry to be so sceptical, but even if that wrist-watch battery is real, this bike is 95% YZ from 30 years ago...

    General Suspension on the EX

    Could you please check the marking on the shock? It's engraved at the bottom where it attaches to the clevis knuckle. Your description matches my experience: shock feels either dead or it kicks and loses traction, clickers do nothing.

    Stark Varg SM

    As of recent Aliexpress is full of SM wheels for the Varg in the 500-800$ range. No clue of the value or quality.

    Media Review Varg EX [assorted reviews and random videos]

    Interview with the Federico Fantini. CEO of Stark Future Italia [in Italian, auto translate is ok] I'm listening bit by bit when I find time, will post if anything interesting is mentioned. Edit: It's the usual corporate spiel. Nothing technical or any insider perspective.

    Help w/ EX clicker settings?

    First, to answer your question with a question since those clicks are pretty far from the middle values. Could you describe how the bike behaves with that setup and where do you find it lacking or performing well? Average and peak speed ditto. If that setting isn't doing anything sinister...

    New VARG Software Update.

    I'm a sucker for updates so I prodded the app and the bike to update, but there is nothing for the EX. Currently: 1.2.8 for the bike and 2.6.1 for the app.

    Stark mobile charger is out !

    Thanks. I'm topped up, but I'll check later today. Stark worries about skid plates but not that their messed app can push maximal power through the charging circuit without control. [it's still showing 6.6kW by the way]

    Stark mobile charger is out !

    Could somebody please check if you can set the charging power at low settings: 0.3 - 1.0 kW? It seems to me that my charger is pushing full power regardless of the setting in the app. Including the "slow" setting. This only happens after the recent Stark experiment. Before I could set any...

    Stark mobile charger is out !

    No, it's pretty clear and impossible.

    Stark mobile charger is out !

    Not just that but that the app auto-updates without notice or user consent. Isn't that what "Beta" versions and testers are for? In any case they will need to correct the wrong display of current charging power. While they are at it they should add the time until full charge estimate like the...

    Stark mobile charger is out !

    Could that orange box in the background be a generator? I wonder how much diesel it will drink to charge 10 x 6.6kW. Charger looks nicer and more practical than the gen.1 charger. The plug is not household shuko plug.
