    I don't know, there aren't many high speed tracks in my area.

    Stark Map Recommendations

    My baseline is 48hp, it's my sweet spot on most hardpack tracks around here, adjusting for faster or deep tracks. My aim is always to utilize the full throttle range. If I'm not, I'll dial back the power, if I'm maxing out constantly, I'll crank it up. I keep a 65hp+ map handy for those tricky...

    Problem mounting the pegs

    I had the same issue, I solved this problem with my favorite tool, a hammer.

    Varg Silent Passing Issues

    This definitely works! A button for the index finger would be nice, maybe a thumb throttle like on rental e-scooter, mounted on the other side..

    Varg Silent Passing Issues

    Is a bicycle bell really loud enough? That would probably be the easiest solution.

    Varg Silent Passing Issues

    Hey everyone, So I've been ripping around on the Varg for a bit now and it's mostly awesome. But there's one thing that's been bugging me, and I wanted to see if any of you have faced the same. Whenever I'm out there, especially in heavy traffic, passing becomes a real headache. I've had more...

    Please shout up any issues

    I've been riding it for two weeks now, a Dealer lent it to me to test it out thoroughly and show it around our local tracks. Sure, there're some minor things, the powder coating on the frame had a little hiccup, small things like that but nothing major. Charging? No issues at all. I plug it in...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    This is definitely the payment deadline, I paid in full on the 13th of July and received confirmation on the 3rd of August that the bike is "in line for production". So far that was the last update. I'm from Austria so your timeline will be similar I guess.

    Testing the Varg

    Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to share some of my thoughts. Finally, after much anticipation, I've had the chance to put this machine to the test and to see for myself if it lives up to its reputation. I must say, the buzz around the Varg is not without reason. After taking it for a...

    Battery warmer

    my garage is not permanently heated, and when I go to Italy for training in winter, the temperatures can also go to zero degrees, especially at night. the solution I would have thought of would be something like this...

    RIEJU E-MR

    To my knowledge Rieju bought the right of the 2019 GasGas, I'm not sure if that was a KTM platform at the time but it looks awfully similar at least.

    RIEJU E-MR

    Rieju presented an electric enduro at EICMA. I have no more information about the bike except the data sheet but 60KW on 106kg with 100km range sounds very ambitious. Does anyone have more information about this prototype?

    FIM E-Xplorer Test Event

    The team aspect is pretty cool in my opinion, especially the head start the second rider gets if the first performed well, just like mixed team parallel skiing. Didn't like the track tho. There were times on screen but you really couldn't tell who's in front till they reached the slalom. For me...

    General Suggestions for dirt bikes

    I coach a bunch of kids in moto and those who start out on electric bikes have much more fun way earlier. Unfortunately electric bikes only come in small kid and adult size at the moment, at age 13 your kid probably needs something like an 85cc bike, size wise. You could get him a Surron which...

    I was expecting another delay but damn, 8 months is long... my current bike will be toast by then.

    General Do you miss using a clutch?

    Did you ever try an electric bike? And do you think an electric clutch would do the trick or do you need a real one for your type of riding?

    German PohlBock

    This comes a bit late but I tested their bike about 2 years ago and thought it was great! Super nimble and easy to move around, you can enter a corner with so much speed it was wild. The best part was how fast the batteries where charges again. We where at a sandy track in Italy (Ottobiano), i...

    General Do you miss using a clutch?

    To reiterate, most of you don't miss the clutch at all and some would like to have one more layer of control in very tight technical situations where throttle control isn't precise enough. No one has problems exiting a corner aggresivly for a jump or getting out of a deep sand burm when you...
