It is kind of crazy we even need to spell out how absurd things are. It would be like someone claiming they can fly by flapping their arms. We don't need a complicated physics explanation here. You can watch them fall out of windows and smash into the ground. We have centuries of data on what...

I absolutely loved my Zero FX belt drive for this reason. It was 100% silent. I tried running the belt off road for a long time because I just couldn't stand how loud the chain was. But after the 3rd broken belt in a year, which were $230 each, I gave up and went back to chain. Can-am's new...

If you're going fast enough, you can't hear any bike coming the other way no matter how loud it is. The wind and tire noise is enough to make it hard to hear anything coming at you. I try to stop now and then and check if there are any bikes in the area. The biggest problem I have on the...

Original delivery date for mine was March 3rd. Then it jumped to March 31st, then April 14th, now it has been April 18th for three weeks. No word yet about possible tariff issues. If only they had kept the March 3rd date....

I have the 2023 version. I'm not super familiar with how they have changed over the years. I know the 2025 is completely different set up. My plan was to go custom with the motor and battery. The YZ-EMX kit by Electro and company. IMO, there is no comparison with range between the Varg and the...

I only ride in the woods. The freeride range sucks and I think the power is a bit disappointing. The low battery limp mode is really bad too. Has left me stuck at the bottom of a hill because it didn't have enough power to get up it. I really hate the battery level indicators also. I keep it...

This is the closest thing I've found to an answer to your question. https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/lights.3578/post-38453

I am currently using an Anker F3800 "generator" to charge my Zero FX, which will no doubt be used to charge my new Stark Varg when I get it. Not the cheapest option, but it works great and you can throw it in any vehicle. I am currently using it in my Tesla model 3, but am building a custom RV...

So I am waiting on my EX delivery, but wanted to see what the insurance was going to cost. Thankfully, I don't need a loan for the bike, so I don't need to deal with insurance requirements for a bank. However I do want full coverage. Not too shockingly, my insurance company, Progressive, did not...

Well, small update. Got my VIN now! Looks like I get #130 EX! Had an email exchange with sales about adding accessories. It was, of course, a waste of time. But they did make noises like they might take my list of reasons to reconsider their design for the future. Granted, they are probably...

Good looking bike. IMO, you can't use 45 HP in the woods. Hell, you can't use 30HP in the woods. But I guess it depends on the version of woods in question. That bike is way too clean though, and not a single bent fin on the front module. Are you sure you've ridden it hard? :p I hated the stock...

As I already stated, the Zero FX has 20 amp capacity for the 12V system. I personally wouldn't put Surrons in the same category, however they are easily modified. If there isn't a plug and play option for them, I have no doubt there is a DIY option for additional 12V capacity. As for...

I have no idea how you determined what the overall enduro bike category 12v system availability is. Not sure if you know that can be easily adjusted for whatever amperage you desire to select. Literally every EV vehicle has that and most of them are pretty decent amperage. Nothing special about...

I should probably note, there is a huge difference between range from street and dirt. Surprisingly, the type of tires involved don't seem to matter much. I often commute with off road knobby tires, and it doesn't effect my range much on the street.. I also have a set or rims with street tires...

Required qualifier* battery chemistry can change cold weather performance a lot, and I won't pretend I'm an expert on the batteries in question But that being said, lights, heated gear, phone charging, etc, are pretty much irrelevant. My average ride takes about 2 hours, where I consume 6kWh of...

I think the important distinction is the EX is a street bike, as is the Zero FX. I think it would be smart for Stark to add a 110v charger to the EX, or at least offer a smaller, cheaper 110v mobile charger, but this would probably be a US only thing. The Zero makes a great commuter bike, but if...

*at the moment That is definitely true. I don't think that will last very long. They are throwing away money if they don't address this issue as the competition starts catching up. It is inferior in overall performance, no doubt. It is plenty fast trail riding, which is mostly what I do...

I'm sure it is fun to ride - that is the whole reason I pre ordered it. That doesn't mean it isn't badly designed or there aren't other options available.

I asked for clarification, but they seem to be slow to respond now. I guess they didn't like me pointing out the Zero FX is a far superior design in this category.

After finding some other somewhat related threads on the subject related to the MX, it looks like a lot of people were hoping the EX would offer some 12V circuits to use for such things. This is so absurd. I currently ride a Zero FX in the woods, it has a 20 amp 12V system that has no problem...
