    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    You're right they do say that lithium iron phosphate (LFP) are the specialty of A123. In fact China is word leader by large in LFP technology so that makes sense. It didn't occur to me that next gen Stark cells could be LFP instead of NMC mainly because of LFP lower energy density. That being...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Page 1 of this thread we discuss about Stark not working with Molicel anymore since they've introduced the 7.2 kWh pack. From page 2 we talk about the new cell form factor 26120 announced by Stark in November (with Eve Energy at that time). Basically longer 120 mm cells will be packed...

    13 kWh is probably the minimum to get an acceptable range on the street. 200 kg is not bad. 16900 € without taxes is 20 k€ with VAT here. Electric street bikes are a much harder sell than electric dirt bikes because lack of noise on the street is not a terrific advantage to have, quite the...

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    BTW, they do mention EVE partnership that was previously announced, to produce 26120 cells with a new form factor presumably allowing to have just one row of cells, sitting transversally to the motorcycle axis and parallel to the ground, getting them more efficiently cooled (each cell being in...

    Varg production numbers / VIN

    Thanks, tracks well with their claim of 50% enduro market share in Germany! In France they've sold 573 Varg EX in 2025. https://www.moto-net.com/article/les-chiffres-du-marche-moto-scooter-et-3-roues-de-l-annee-2025-6-top-300-des-ventes-moto-annee-2025.html

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    They also have over 500 dealers right now. Midget network compared to legacy OEM but a significant hurdle for other aspiring e bike manufacturers.

    Come on, Roczen rode it a couple of hours at best. Still had one of the best comments ever though 🤣

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    For sure they wouldn't be there without their video production team and social media team pumping out great content on YouTube, Instagram... And racing is a big part of their worlwide marketing effort: Arenacross UK, AMA Arenacross (last year), France SX tour and MX Elite, WSX, Romaniacs...

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    115 M€ revenue for Stark in 2025, that's about 10k bikes sold (MX, EX, SM). I think they've made around 8k Varg EX so far. EX is selling like hotcakes, they claim 50% market share (presumably enduro) in Germany and "other countries". Not hard to believe that a silent, road-legal motorcycle...

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    Think I got it now! Between a 100 V and 400 V batteries, current that would go through dry skin would be around 1 mA and 4 mA, it does not seem that much of a difference but indeed, there is a regulatory safety threshold generally established at 120 V DC for ultra low voltage (under which no...
