    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Yeah, the swipe up does close the app, but thinking I may need to Force Stop it. It's a little different with this old version of Android, but you can go to the home screen, long press the Stark App, select App Info and then do a Force Stop. That will be my next experiment.

    Tall Seat Available?

    Seat Concepts has a Race 2.0 on sale for Varg now. They said the various comfort seats, for the Varg, are in the works. I started a thread on it (in the wrong section. Hoping a mod will move it to this section). Link: Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    My personal phone battery last plenty long that I could put a phone mount and use the mapping app on it. But then I have one more thing on the bars and risk damage to my phone. I've seen others adding various Trail Tech gauges (and I use the Trail Tach Voyager Pro on my snowbike and it's very...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Interesting. My app and bike are on the same versions as you. My app is on v.1.0.185 (416). Bike is on 1.0.159 Maybe app didn't shut down all the way, but I hit the button to display open apps and swiped it up, which seemed to close it like on my other android devices. It does pop up...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Just experimented with this in the garage so no actual ride, but it works well enough for what I want to accomplish with a few caveats. What I did: I opened up the Stark app and my mapping app, so both were active. With bike in Neutral (N), I clicked bottom button to Engage and set my...

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Heard back from Seat Concepts. As mentioned, the Varg Race 2.0 Foam and Cover kit is already available on their website, but they confirmed they are working on a Varg 'Comfort' Foam and Cover kit. I'll likely go with that and install over the winter. Still have to decide if I just update my...

    More images of removing the U shaped trim to allow the charger cord connection to pull through.

    Moving Varg charger to different case

    Inspired by others that have removed the Varg charger from the stand and moved it into a different case, thought I'd start a dedicated thread for this. There are already some great images and info in the thread Poll: Are you using the original Stark Varg Stand/Charger as intended? but thought...

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Anyone had a comfortable, trail riding seat made and installed on the stock seat pan yet? I've owned a lot of Seat Concept seats, and a few Sargent, over the years. Will probably order a second seat and put a seat kit on that seat pan rather than my original seat pan. I just reached out to Seat...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    This is the update I received from Stark. ---------- Currently, the Stark phone is designed to prioritize the VARG gauge display when the bike is engaged. This is to ensure that critical information related to the bike's performance and status is always visible to the rider. Unfortunately...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Nice! Thanks for the idea @AL_V and @FreedomFlyer. I hadn't thought of that...but then I only loaded my mapping app one ride ago. I'll do this until Stark makes a change. This is even more reason for them to work on this. Should be able to have Stark app running in the background so it can...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    I emailed Stark. Meanwhile, their auto-reply, that acknowledged receipt of email, suggested I ask their AI bought "Sam". www.starkfuture.com/sam (Note: You have to be logged in to your Stark user account to use it). I couldn't resist some fun. I really should have saved the conversation as it...

    Charging with Active Cooling System

    I found that curious as well as was curious of the point since the battery isn't liquid cooled. Seems like putting a fan blowing the battery while charging is about the only option for "active battery cooling" while charging. Ha.

    More information on display!!

    Yes on these! And, would like the ability to display my GPS/Trail/Mapping app, that I loaded onto the Stark phone, as I drive. I just started a thread on that one: Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding? Would really like to see that.

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    Took about 10 minutes to insure mine on the Progressive website. We already have two ATVs on a Progressive policy, so I logged in, clicked "Add/Get a Quote", typed in the VIN and it popped up as a Varg. It gave me the deductible and other policy options, and gave me a quote. Clicked submit to...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    I have a GPS/Trail/Mapping app that I loaded on my Stark phone (onX Offroad in this case, but question applies to any mapping/trail app). I've found that apps work and run normally on the phone, but while riding, only in the background. The issue is, every time you put the bike in drive, the...

    Stark Varg battery drained?

    Important to pull the phone out of the cradle and power it down as well and then you can put it back in the cradle or bring it inside. Phone can be charged with USB C cord right before you use it again so the bike doesn't have to charge it. Some wireless charging pads work on the phone as well...

    2025 KTM Freeride E

    All good points on the Lithium Ion. I suppose that the battery cycles to hours count depends on use case. Higher speed or more aggressive riding, 5.5kWh is about an hour of riding, but that is still 1,000 hours to degrade to 80% original capacity, so if someone rides even three battery cycles a...
