    My range is **** from what I'm seeing

    Well that depends, tell us more about yourself, how old are you, do you have a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, prior heart disease in the family, alcohol and cigarettes consumption? 🤣 Honestly the tech should really improve in the next 10 years, we're at the end of a cycle, new one...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Pretty sure they would stick with one type of cells cause I don't see any advantage in carrying older cells once you have developed your own superior cells. 26120 will be first used for street bikes then trickle to Vargs. Also don't think 26120 would end up with a wider pack for dirt bikes, see...

    My range is **** from what I'm seeing

    Stark has flaws for sure but they have given way more information about range than any OEM ever did with their range videos. You have the short edited version, the longer onboard raw vids, you can see exactly what kind of riding is done, total time, average speed, distance for usually 3...

    They've also said that the Varg would get traction control, adjustable flywheel. And editing power maps would come to MX1 😜

    Are MX tracks you ride at adapting to electric dirtbikes?

    Some tracks in France have "electric-only" days, that is opening extra days during the week without going over their limited number of noisy days allowed. A bit outside the scope of this thread but there are some electrics-only tracks in the Netherlands and the other country could have been...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA/FIM races

    France Elite MX round 1 Poor results from Herbreteau in MX1 (14, 13, OA 13) and even worse from Lopez in MX2 (28, 16, OA 19). Still think Herbreteau will be regular in the top 10. Actually expect big things from Lopez. First race in MX2, first race on the Varg, already holeshot and was running...

    EX 80 hour service.

    Hey Karinshi, face it, you're just a slow rider 🤣 Just kidding, of course it depends on the kind of riding you do. Not sure if total time could be just "on" time, like if you're chatting or having a snack or whatever, does the "time meter" still run?

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Glad to see some kind of official confirmation that street bikes will be compatible with DC fast charging. Targeting 300 km range for street bikes is cute but doesn't tell much if they don't mention the targeted weight. Zero DSR/X officially has a 288 km (179 miles) "city" range. With 17 kWh...

    EX 80 hour service.

    I think in France (maybe in Europe as well?) this kind of practice is illegal for cars. You can go to any professional garage (multi brand service or whatever) and it would not void the warranty. You can also do the work yourself provided you keep receipt of the parts you replaced and so on...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA/FIM races

    FIM Superenduro round 5 Karlsson always in the fight for podium places and his teammate Toby Martyn is still there. Karlsson 5-2-3 for 3rd OA, Martyn 4-3-4 for 4th OA, very solid team! Manu Gomez won in the Junior class, Superenduro really is a niche well suited to electrics. Bolt won...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    This vid is really great and knowledgeable. Independent testing is a must but as he says, probably the most important and easiest test to prove it is indeed a solid state battery would have been to simply ask VTT to cut the cell in half so... why didn't they? I mean, they claim it's cheaper to...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Funny, I agree with you it makes no sense, I think they might be doing the opposite of that: paying to put their name on someone else's tech and expecting to gain major financial backing from it. This is turning out to be quite the adventure, will it end up as a miracle or a debacle?

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    I took BYD as an example, you guys got Toyotas? 😉 Verge has been around for 7 years, they've only ever sold about 100 motorcycles... they're very unlikely to crack this and even more so to mass produce SSB (or, well, anything really). To be fair they're planning to massively ramp up production...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    I think all claims are possible, what's hard to believe is that all claims could come from the same battery. You can make batteries enormous energy density, or you can make batteries very resistant to heat and cold, or you can make batteries with really high retention and cyclability but these...

    Stark Varg SM enough range for my use?

    If you have any possibility to charge in town, the portable charger should do the trick, even just toping up for 30 min at 110 V should give you an extra 10-15%?

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    BTW, if you want some real news about solid state batteries, BYD plans its first batches for next year (limited production runs, pilot scale). They did not give any energy density value. Why is this vastly more significant than Donut scam I hear you say? Because BYD is the world leading...

    You and me both. I would have at least expected to see a recap on their Instagram or maybe an article in a blog about electric vehicles. edit: found a couple more comments interesting on their latest Instagram So it's coming! So... it may come... one day... like traction control...

    Arenacross UK rounds 2 and 3 Deano won the title with a perfect score, winning all 3 mains at the 3 rounds. Jack Brunell got 2-4-4 for 3rd at round 2. Round 3 started ok with 4th but then he seriously hurt himself. Anecdotal 6th in the championship, speedy recovery!

    Electric Clutch Reviews?

    Congrats on your ride. Very curious to hear about the clutch. Well not really the clutch but all the rest like throttle smoothness, throttle response and especially flywheel effect that Stark promised but can't seem to deliver.
