They seem very fond of designing chargers with too short cables 😂 It looks like it cannot sit on the ground, does it somehow clamp on the pegs?

Yes I guess my point is that they don't have much room to lower cost and price besides going for less premium parts in wheels, brakes, suspensions, tires, but that is clearly not in their interest for Vargs. Building Vargs in Europe with premium components at similar price to comparable...

Gotta say at these dimensions and weight, this charger should be really easy to integrate onboard a 150-180 kg street bike.

As you show, raw materials count for very little in the overall cost of a vehicle, materials transformation is much more expensive. It remains true even at the level of individual parts, if you think of batteries, it's not the raw materials in the cells that make that the pack costs thousands of...

The Vargs have never been intended to be their money makers, market is too small, but they're ideal products to build brand awareness and Stark image as a serious OEM. Turning some profit selling Vargs is impressive, then road bikes (as in proper road bikes, not niche SM) will come aiming for...

Stark released their range videos at the same time 183 km (113 miles) urban 118 km (73 miles) suburban 81 km (50 miles) WMTC "real-world riding"

Dust moto Hightail is lighter but battery is 40% smaller, wonder what the range would be street riding.

The tiny portable 3 kW charger is a great surprise, the other technical aspects I'm curious about is overheating. We will see if they managed to limit or avoid thermal limit by software, hardware or a combination of both because street riding will certainly increase the load and the heat.

You're right that for housing, typical installation would have difficulty providing enough for charging 2 or 3 Vargs at full charge. Most people use slow charging at home but now I see why your example of a restaurant "pit stop" makes sense indeed. You'd trip the fuse and the restaurant would...

Lol but you know there really are people who think that! Charging your Varg is not using much more electricity than using your electrical oven or cloth dryer.

They weren't kidding when they said they were developing a charger small enough to fit in a backpack, great surprise is it's as powerful as the stand charger! https://www.instagram.com/p/DPy4azNjLa2/?igsh=MTV4cThkaXdpcmgwMQ== 2 kg, 25*15*6 cm, great job

That "Oh shit" moment when you realize you've just cheated death or when you realize you almost killed your boss, we've all been there, right? 🤣

Aren't radial street tires heavier? And they're not of the same dimensions. 17" street wheels may be heavier? Beefed up calipers, beefed up triple clamp, could be heavier forks and shock maybe?

Deliveries starting December 6th for France. 124 kg, Pirelli Diablo IV, sweet radial monobloc Brembo front brake caliper, that's nice. The portable 3,3 kW charger is a nice touch. Still a bit odd to not have it onboard but I guess most people can live with that, it looks really small. It's...

Agreed, that's the most likely explanation.

That would be preorders opening then 👍

KTM has been selling more street bikes than dirt bikes for a while, we don't have any details but I'd bet their overflowing stock was more street than dirt (plus the major deficit maker were their electric bicycles).

That was 2 years ago, I haven't seen much news of him racing the Varg since then?

Molicel P45B used in MX1.0 are rated for 3 C. If the cells in EX/MX1.2 are similar to Molicel P50B they could be rated for 5 C.

Dowatek makes all sorts of protections for the Varg. They know what they're doing, they raced it at Romaniacs. https://www.dowatek.de/en/stark-varg/?p=1
