Did you find any solid numbers?

As always it's a weak point for Stark, likely due to lack of clutch, it's been well explained by Josh Hill. Hicks still bagged 2nd in superpole though so there's potential.

Disappointing WSX start for the Stark boys, Friese likely injured, Zaragoza struggled to stay in the first half. I guess Kobusch needs to learn a bit, Hicks is the most promising, he could step on that podium in the next races. And with every WSX passing race, it will become even more...

Retail price is $10 950. 4.4 kWh and 42 hp, I can see Yamaha YE-01 could be close to that

Oh yes Hicks can make Stark proud. Friese must be hurt or injured, hesyveey far off the pace, Zaragoza a bit disappointing. Weirdly, apparently the FIM prevented Stark riders from using the left hand rear brake.

Here's something to celebrate: Stark recently passed the bar of making over 20 000 motorcycles. These are production numbers, not sales numbers (it would be interesting to know this but it's much harder to get). To put things into perspective Alta made about 1 000 motorcycles in 3 years. This...

About boutique brands I was wondering what might happen to brands like Electro and co selling kits to convert bikes to electric whenever Yamaha, Honda and co will sell their own electric dirt bikes and street bikes. On one hand, demand for DIY kit would likely decrease but the overall market...

It's amazing what you MacGyvers can do! @Stark71 also worked on some minimal display https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/small-display-for-the-stark-varg-mx.4221/

Oh yeah, the Ninja e1 surely must have been a joke lost in translation, it's ridiculous. I love Kawi but I have much more confidence in Honda delivering the goods. Plus they can benefit handsomely from their car division building expertise in EV. Honestly I'm not that disappointed in this...

Don't be so cynical my friend 😆 Honda commitment (and I mean all Honda, not just motorcycles) to carbon neutrality by 2050 and shift towards electric is very real (even if adjusting their intermediate targets along the way), they're getting eaten alive in the car industry and know they really...

I don't think they're using LFP, that's something you do when you're not worried about range nor packaging, not on your first electric motorcycle. About weight it really depends which bike you take as comparison, for instance Honda CB650R is 206 kg. And I wonder how much the CCS2 charger weight?

Guys, it's not about the looks, nor even the specs, it's big news simply because it's big H, the world leading OEM, selling 40% of all motorcycles sold in the entire world, feeling ready to mass produce and sell electric motorcycles. It's not Zero motorcycles, Energica or Stark selling...

Which is why they invested in EM in the first place 😉

Went to have another look at the XR+

Regarding the looks of the bike I think Stark "had it easy" in the sense that they have no legacy, nothing to build on, they could go any direction they wanted. Whether you're Yamaha or Honda, it's probably better from a cost perspective to reuse a maximum of components from other bikes (frame...

It's a new bike with EM and Yamaha tech. That's a Yamaha frame. Battery does look small but power should be at least 50 hp (probably more) to offer "MXGP levels of power" as claimed.

One year ago, Yamaha invested in Electric Motion (EM), french firm which has been making electric trial and trail motorcycles for 15 years. Last January, Yamaha France CEO of 11 years switched jobs to become CEO of Electric Motion. Now they present the first prototype born of this partnership...

Nice, I'm opening its own thread.

9,3 kWh (350 V) 140 km range 50 kW (68 hp) 100 Nm 217 kg 15 000 € Onboard CCS2 enables charging from 20-80% in 30 min. Crawl mode, regen adjustable by manual commands at the left hand, 4 maps

Seb Tortelli POV, that race is brutal, good choice for his first Enduro race 🤣 By the end of the day, that track was a dirt bike graveyard. Check out at 5'40 and 14' 😵 Mad respect for all the nuts that took the start.
