Most press releases say 11kW nominal, which is 14.75 hp. This is confirmed on the KTM website, though it also mentions 19.2kW peak (which is 25.74 hp so maybe some releases use nominal and some peak?) My guess is the 11kW rated power has to do with the Euro A2 motorcycle license be limited to...

Interesting! I found only one combination in the US that was not available immediately from the U.S. warehouse and that is any bike with a sidestand (every other combination is available in the warehouse and delivered in an estimated 10 days). The sidestand bike has an estimated delivery of...

It's simply to liquidate current backlog of inventory. They built to the number of pre-orders and enough of those were not fulfilled that there is a surplus of bikes in the warehouses. This price is to reduce inventory and the price is only on in- stock bikes. Once those are gone, so is the...

This isn't entirely different than other manufacturers offering rebates on a model year when new model year lands. Or on a current model when a new model refresh comes out. This might be a touch more money than those, but it happens yearly on many brands (dirtbike/motorcycles/ATV/UTV...

In the U.S., you pay sales tax based on the State you live in. Some States have very high tax rate, some have zero sales tax (like my State). There is no federal/country tax. As for early adopters, I ordered day one, but have not yet fullfilled my order. I have $300 downpayment sitting there...

Your household 120v circuit could have been tripping because there were other loads on the same circuit at the same time. To avoid that, you could do several things: Remove all other loads on the same circuit. Use a different circuit with no other loads. Lower the charge rate (which lowers the...

Yeah, I agree there are motocross riders that need more battery capacity (range) than the Vargs current battery. I guess my point was they may WANT a higher capacity battery, but are they willing to live with the added weight? The extra weight might be a deal breaker where the trail and enduro...

Yes, it's understood that the battery case would have to increase in size to accommodate more capacity. So whether they use the same frame and mounting point, like @Erwin P mentions, or has a slightly altered frame for an offroad/enduro-focused model separate from the Varg, the battery case size...

Agreed! For my trail riding use, the range is the only thing keeping me from fulfilling my order. I'm used to 300+lb dual sports, so another 20lb of battery would still have me lighter and give me the range I need to do typical 40 to 50 miles trail rides without depleting the battery too far...

My advice is swap all your bicycle brakes to be "moto style" which is RHFB. I have run all my MTB like that forever. Only bicycles that were not setup that way was a 10 speeds I rode in high school in the late 80s. Have ridden dirtbikes since I was 10 (early 80s) and so when I moved to the...

Yep, no worries. I have no issue admitting when I am wrong. Ha. It's easy to expect the worst out of people lately. YT and other social media is constantly filled with examples of riders having total disregard for public opinion about motorcycle riders actions, public safety, destruction of...

Good deal. I've VERY glad I was wrong on both accounts. Sorry and thank you for clarifying. None of that info about the damaged rail was conveyed in the video clip you chose to edit into this vid, so I could only go by that and your comment about riding by the gazebo a week later and the rail...

Note: Edited my post a few posts back (This one: Questions: Track & Trail set-up. Charging & Transport.) to fix typos and re-worded for clarity (need to make the time to proofread better. Ha.)

True that I don't agree with @flailer regarding the Varg's non-fast-swappable battery being a "problem" with the bike since it's a design choice. If it's a deal breaker for a potential buyer, it simply means it doesn't meet the buyers needs. It's not a bike "problem" just like if the weight or...

Battery can be swapped. Just not quickly/easily. That was a design choice to help meet weight and packaging needs (and even with that they struggled with keeping weight down to target weight). It's similar to packaging of portable devices like mobile phones, like others have mentioned; having...

Love the enthusiasm, but have to call out the lack of responsibility of destroying public property (destroying the gazebo rail and not owning up to it and paying for it or at least trying by contacting them, tearing up the grass area repeatedly in public grassy park section, etc.) That gives...

If it helps, Varg are currently on sale for $2,000 off MSRP, so that can help fund your solar trailer or generator projects.

Was reading down the thread and ready to type nearly this identical post. Now I don't have to. Ha. @flailer Definitely go with 48v batteries. And the all-in-one inverter. It's a shame the smaller EG4 3kW (EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter | 3000EHV-48 | 3000W Output | 5000W PV Input | 500 VOC Input)...

Would be an interesting project but require a fair bit of fabrication. Fitting the Varg's motor (it's electric, so use the term "Motor" and not "Engine") wouldn't be too big of an issue, but fitting the battery is where I'd expect you to run out of room fast. Or would you be building a custom...

Lots of options for adding bags. Number plate bags (lots of options because they are popular with the snowbike crowd), and various mini saddlebag, fender bag and tank bag options from a lot of manufacturers like Mosko Moto, Wolfman Luggage, Giant Loop, etc. Depends on how much you want to carry...
