Agreed. Most of the previous solutions I have seen have been mechanical drive systems of some sort or another and that alone adds weight and tended to make the systems unsuited for a motorcycle front end. Kind of kludgey from the start. A donut system may be more suited, but there many of the...

I wonder if those Verge/Donut guys have considered using that Donut motor for the front wheel on a motorcycle for all wheel drive. The things my imagination allows me to do with my all-wheel drive Stark Varg in the gnarl are well...unspeakable. :cool:

Interesting. Dendritic growth is a subtle problem in many electronic environments. I am more familiar with it in PCBs than batteries but I can see how that might happen.

💯 agree. $100.00 US ok maybe worth the risk. Almost $4k US you better show me pictures of my bike on the production line and when it is loaded on the skid and at the dock ready for ship. We all saw what has happened in the past. Promises made promises not kept.

They should provide potential customers with a lot for the huge a deposit. I think I would take a chance on the 100.00 on the Verge to 3800.00 on the Jarvis... I would be very careful laying out that kind of money for a promise of production. We all know how that can go.

💯 Agree. I am pretty happy over all with my Varg. On the business side, this is common practice among "tech bros" these days. Over promise, under deliver, screw the customer.

Think Tokamak.

Aren't they the same company? AI says Verge owns Donut Lab as a subsidiary.

I would probably go to $20k US for 11-12Kwh SS tomorrow if I could have that no problem. Well it might be that I put off some rehab on this condo. But I would rather die having ridden the future than fix up this place that I am going to give to my son anyway. He can do the rehab if I eat shit...

I would spend for sure. I hate liquid electrolyte, it is like medieval tech to me. Solid state would truly be mind changing and truly a revolution. And with increased density and lower weight those would just pure bonus as far as I am concerned.

Ya and I also get a little wary with the Nvidia like circularity schemes. Donut Labs is Verge is Donut Labs is Verge...

I have to admit I am pretty psyched if this is real. Remember in 2023 I was saying I thought SS might be closer on motorcycles that imagined and folks around here were convinced automobiles would be first. And SS would be long way off for MCs. What would really be great is if we could upgrade...

100.00 refundable deposit... Sounds familiar. You can get the old school lower range for $5K less. I am super interested in SS tech. But I think I would have to go to court and skip out on child support to swallow that $$$.

I hard shutdown and my MX-1 stays at charge or near abouts for weeks.

I think I have mentioned this to you before, not sure where you are in Maine, but I got my Starks from Motorbikes Plus in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Really happy with the service and attention from those guys. I bought my KTMs from them over the years and they were great with my Vargs as well.

Gasoline fires are dangerous as well. I think the risk of fire with my Varg is lower than with my gas bikes. My WR450 pre aftermarket fan would actually boil the gas. One day I came in from a ride and put my WR in the garage. My young son was in the garage playing, he came and got me a few...

I have installed the OEM grips many times on my Starks including on new throttles. Since my use case is Enduro and my bikes take a lot of drops. The original stock install is usually a pretty easy removal since they are just force fit on the bars with no glue as far as I could tell. I use...

I think those still get a lot of use in soft terrain and are still popular. For the rocky rooty stuff a lot of folks use the JX8. Mostly depends on the terrain you ride I think.

Interesting. Inoue/IRC is a Japanese company so maybe they have a contract to provide tires for Japanese European export. Most reviews here compare the IRC JX8 Gekkota to the Michelin Extreme and they mostly come down to terrain/choice and compare well. The IRC is slightly less expensive in...

Ahh good to know that explains it. IRC is very popular here in the US among HE, enduro, and trail riders. Agree with your point about sidewall the IRC JX8 would fit the bill.
