Rich Larsen (IRC Tire Guy) Reviews the 2025 Electric Motion Factor E 2.5. Cliff Notes: he loves it, feels like an ICE bike, he loves the 4 sp tranny as he can conserve battery during transfer/road sections.

Interesting teaser video, I'd like to see some footage on some tight single track, some hard enduro stuff, and on an mx track. And some information on how it works. Looks like it has some programmability built in too, would be good to see more information on that too.

Motorcycle.com has an interesting article saying that Stark is working through the regulatory requirements to bring an SM model into the US: 2025 Stark Varg EX and SM Coming to US Market "The confirmation comes to us via the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which recently...

Wow, I'm very surprised to read all this. I had assumed the Varg would have very smooth and predictable "low end" power delivery, even better then the Alta's or Surron's. And that it would have all the built-in power delivery adjustments. Between this, the weight, issues owners are having...

Makes sense, thanks for filling me in.

I had not heard of the in-bar wiring routing (didn't watch the vid). What do you do if you want to swap the bars out (pretty common mod)? I wonder if you could just run the wires externally if you went with different bars?

My questions for Stark and the dealer are: What is next, what can we do to diagnose and fix the issues with my bike? Who needs to do the next steps? These are basic questions both Stark and the dealer should be able to tell you. And have you tried calling this phone number? According to...

That's outrageous. I wonder if there is a lemon law or some other type of relief you can get? Again, good luck, I hope something can be worked out.

I made a lengthy response to your other post, and I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly here, if I am misunderstanding, please disregard. But you mention cursing them out. If you've been cursing them out, you need to stop regardless of how frustrated you are. I do think your...

That is one f-ed up response from them. Wow. I can't believe they are letting their people send out communications like that. I worked in call centers for years in various roles, primarily training and training course development for customer service reps, tech support reps, sales and...

It's all very strange. Hopefully Taddy will explain more about his claims of the Stark being unpredictable. Regardless of what may be going on with the bike, Taddy's public posting about it in this way looks unprofessional.

This is exploding all over the interwebs: Taddy Blazusiak The videos clearly show him going full throttle, not sure what the "upredictable reaction of the motorcycle" claim is all about. Looks like the bike did exactly what you would expect when you go full throttle on it. Look at his hand...

Looks like its Ultra Bee sized, like a 7/8 size dirt bike. Question is, does it have $3500 more performance, quality, and company longevity/viability then the Ultra Bee?

Really? With no 6 speed transmission? Lame, lol (forgive the off-topic post but I could not resist). Back to the Varg, agree with the early adopter sentiment, has its rewards as well as risks. I'm still on the sidelines waiting for a 240 lb-er from one of the major OEM's, or Stark in a year or...

Excellent video, I learned a lot, thank you.

This latest iteration of the Freeride e is a disappointment to me (again), but not a surprise. Where is my high performance, high quality, 240 lb or less, 50+ miles range, e-dirt bike? And yes I know the Freeride e is not intended to be that bike. Still waiting...

Not sure if you've raced the 24 hr before, but its pretty fast and flowy for most of it, so 20 miles at a fast pace on the Ultra Bee might be cutting it close. Some years the laps are less then 20 miles (18?) so that would help.

Agreed, looks like 14/12” wheels.

Wow, sorry to hear about that interaction with Garrahan. Some people go out of their way to be dicks. I don't understand it. But good job for getting out there on your e-dirt bike, don't let the haters slow you down.

New Surron Hyper Bee mini bike coming soon, not much detail in the vid, but looks interesting. 12/10" wheels. Engine is mounted with the shaft in-line with the bike, Moto Guzzi/BMW style, uses a "final drive" differential type setup to transfer the power to chain drive. Not sure why they would...
