    Media Review Carson Brown laptime comparison: 500 2T vs Varg @ Pastranaland

    I think that the interesting part starts @6:06 when Pastrana, Brown and Roczen comment about rear brake, engine brake, scrubbing, etc. I've skimmed through the first minutes since it seemed to me that those were all about 2 strokes. I like the fact that you can watch most of the laps in a split...

    Varg ridden at 6,700 m = 22,000 ft above sea level

    It happened on the Los Ojos del Salado active volcano, located in the Argentina-Chile border. Here is the video: Here is an article in which you can see better that sort of blanket on the battery that reminds me of the ones used on space vehicles: according to an AI, it's called Multi Layer...

    General mountain biking as a cross training for motocross

    My situation and my perspective; I understand you'll skip this if it's too long to read: I firmly believe that the first problem of motorsport is the lack of training due to the time and money involved, hence why I wanted an electric motorcoss bike: less time spent for maintenance (and hopefully...

    Official video tutorial about cleaning the Varg

    • If you don't wash the surfaces under the plastics by pouring water onto them like they do here, IMO it will be very hard to clean the connectors properly and therefore it will be easy for dirt to end up into the connectors in case you want to disconnect them for some reasons, like periodic...

    GabaTech conversion kits and converted, ready to use, motorcycles

    I've just noticed an electrc dirtbike in this video: and I've found out this company. Am I missing something or what they sell looks overpriced, considering the specifications? They mention: • IPSM motor, that apparently is an ironless motor that reduces iron losses, a concept still not so...

    General first solid state battery demonstrator motorcycle

    Some of you may know that there has been a series named MotoE in which they raced electric sportsbikes and that Ducati has provided their V21L bikes for the latest years. Well, that series has gone on hiatus but Ducati has still made a demonstrator for solid state batteries: It is also the...

    radial master cylinder for left hand rear brake

    For supermoto conversions of the Varg, I've never heard of anybody using a radial master cylinder for the rear hand brake. I've found these on the internet: from Accossato from Discacciati + the bracket and there are also radial MCs for clutches that may work. For the front brake, I've always...

    80 hours motor inspection

    According to the manual, the motor gears and bearings should be inspected every 80 hours or every 12 months, whichever occurs first, by a workshop. Has anybody ever brought their Varg to a dealer to get this done? In theory, if you don't do it, you will be skipping a maintenance task and they...

    Varg MX 1.2

    Now on their website the original MX is no longer an option and you can only order the MX 1.2, which, as far as I've understood, is the MX updated with the EX improvements: 7.2 kwh battery, Arkenstone, etc. The weight is still stated to be 118 kg like the first MX version. The price is 500 €...

    Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1

    link to Ninja specs link to Z specs I've actually found them out only recently. Notice that they both have a foot operated rear brake. Each of them has two removable batteries. Personally I think that they can't become successful: too expensive for commuting in a city, too little powerful and...

    Yamaha MT-09 PHEV prototype

    Here is a video of it; I've watched it with the automatically translated subtitles: @ 5:21 you can see it being recharged via a plug. According to what I've read on non official websites, it uses Yamaha's SPHEV Series-Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology. From the way it's described in...

    Tesla Model 3 tested as a rally car in snow

    The Mountain Pass kit he mentions should be this one. I've never done rally in real life but I know something about how to do it thanks mainly to the YouTube channel which posted this video and the awesome Richard Burns Rally driving simulator, in which Burns himself gives lessons and there are...

    electric motorcycles for military purposes

    I've watched some videos in which soldiers use electric motorcycles; here is one I've liked more than others. In that video, they mention a "reduced signature", which is something that I understand because of hours spent playing Digital Combat Simulator (who knows, maybe some of you will Google...

    Ryan Hughes talks about electric MX motorcycles

    Some years ago he said he had some fun on a Freeride: Half a year ago he didn't show hatred at all for electric MX bikes, he just said that there are cons with them: It sounds like recently he's changed his mind: Here is my comment to that last video, BTW. Sorry of the length of my comment...

    New genuine water pump kit for self bleed

    Check this out: I honestly think that the bleeding procedure for the G1 was too messy and possibly time consuming; never tried, though. The taller fitting should significantly increase the hydrostatic pressure if you fill the radiator up to its top. Besides, there will always be an air gap in...
