In the Netherlands there are 50 Starks in total with a licence plate (so sold to consumers). That are all EX's. MX's are not streetlegal so not in this data. Edit: This year 214 KTM EXC's, 57 Beta's, 21 Sherco's, 13 Rieju's. The other brands had no good info due to lack of findeable tradenames...

Very cool! I was actually shocked by how much advantage i had from the E drivetrain when i took the Stark MX on SM around Pottendijk karting track. Sure we all knew how fast it would be out of the corner onto the straight. But the biggest gain is actually IN the corners. The overal smoothness...

Welcome @Andreas Keim ! I had some email contact with Nina since i was curious to your brand. Honestly i was expecting the typical China dropshipping answer, turned out i was very wrong! Even ended up with an invitation to your factory. Wich is 7 hours away but i just might combine it with some...

Agreed. In the Stark i knew before buying: Suspension, brakes, sprockets and wheels all from big suppliers used by big OEM's. The founder had deep pockets and big connections, combined with experience growing businesses. All the above is very reassuring. If i would be in the market for a HVR...

Sorry for your bike. But this does proof it's not a wonder bike. There have been claims of MX OEM's bringing out too heavy bikes and that Surron is proof it can be way lighter. I often tend to disagree and so does your bike ;)

Like it should and there are 3 torx in your picture.

Photo?

For the simple fact i've been riding for quite some time and have been bashing mopeds in 3-8 hours MX competitions, did abuse Chinese dirtbikes etc etc. Never have i seen suspension fail on impact (other than the brick cheap €500 pitbikes). I still have my moped wich was insanely abused for MX...

That suspension will not break on impact, i'm quite sure of that. Springs will be proper too since that's not too hard to get right. It's the damping and the progression of it i would be concerned about. To be fair, we didn't know about Stark either. The one thing that had going for it was a...

With me it was something in the battery. Got replaced within a week.

They probably have some machine that sprays it on. Uses more material but is way cheaper than have a human apply it.

I was a tad negative about MX use, but where i can see this kind of bikes shine is in Hard Enduro. Lightweight, more than powerfull enough and battery capacity doesn't really matter. I know a lott of Germans go to places like Bilstain (a rocky gnarly Hard Enduro park). I have emailed them about...

And DIY conversions are just that DIY, wich means building the thing. And i'm pretty sure it's more profitable to do some overtime at work than to buy a used bike and covert it with expensive E components that don't actually fit easily. Buying something like this with a year of warranty is a...

Agreed on the full size bike. You can buy a used Stark that's still in 1 year warranty (same as this) for that price. And the weight looks nice, but 4kWh and 41HP is only suitable for hardpack leisure MX riding. The battery being a quick swap is nice, but it being 4kWh low voltage one also means...

Have you used this more street miles than your other bikes? Mousses get really bloody hot on the street. We see this often with bikes used in the Dutch OTR season where there are quite some fast asphalt sections (or people ride fast anyways). A lott of us stopped using mousses long ago since...

It's sad the adjustable power curve is behind the paywall. But that could fix that issue. You could then go up in torque for those corner speeds and leave the rest the same.

We have a saying that translates to "Where there's chopping there will be chips" with the chips being mistakes/incidents. That applies strongly to anywhere work is done, especially to where new people are doing new kinds of chopping. Being "first" is a blessing and a curse.

I tried multiple chains and pretty much every 520 without Orings fit. I use the cheap 24MX variant because in all the sand the sprockets will wear down quicker than the chain anyways.

What is swappable? I've seen "quick swap battery solutions" that require more bolts to be removed than the Stark. The plugin is not the issue. The 2 connectors of Stark are a few seconds work. Also disconnecting the battery is 6 bolts, also not much work. It's the issue of the battery being so...

Most are only on a bike for 12-20 minutes indeed. However a fast Amature will be very far in the Stark battery in 20 minutes in the sand. Smaller also adds the issue of more heat. Having a swappable battery does increase weight and package size since structure and accecability have to come...
