    Varg broken out of the box Red light constant

    I hope you get this issue resolved, what a bummer. I've been reading a lot of power on/off issues with new Varge owners. And confusion around software updates. That throttle wiring kink definitely looks suspect, I would be either removing the insulating wrap on it to see the state of the wires...

    Maximum Scramble Range

    I can only relate my experiences on the Alta as I have not ridden a Varg, but I found the Alta's regen to add basically zero charge/range back into the battery. Or zero % that I could notice. My Alta applied what felt like a fair amount of "engine braking" feel when letting off the throttle...

    So 122kg = 269 lbs? Bike is coming along great.

    Flat Track Day at Mohave Valley Raceway, AZ

    Very cool. I would have had a hard time not getting all excited and ruining everyone's day by excitedly talking too much and asking a thousand questions, hopping around on one foot like a little kid, Lol. Thanks for sharing.

    How long are we expecting the Stark battery to last (long term)

    Agree completely. If you look on this forum and use the Alta experience as a reference, I think the Varg owners will do just fine with their batteries long term and any battery degradation will take years and won't be a big negative for the majority of the owners. Battery degradation is a real...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    The Sur Ron Ultra Bee has 3 "throttle sensitivity" settings that are separate from the 3 power level settings. I loved being able to set the throttle sensitivity, makes the bike very versatile. For beginners, set it to the lowest sensitivity, and lowest power setting and the bike is very easy to...

    Varg spring rates ?

    "Yeah, new forks cannot be judged until after they break in." Exactly, and same with the shock. I'm reading a lot online about how stiff the Varg suspension is, but very little about how it is after break-in, so makes me wonder if people are considering this before they comment, and make...

    Range Increase Software Update Released

    I’d love someone like Tucker at ECR to do one of his range tests comparing pre software update to post software update. I’m skeptical there is any significant range increase, unless they were intentionally limiting battery drain % to a large degree with the bikes they have already delivered...

    how to put the bike on a stand without help from others

    I found my Alta (which is close to the Varg weight) to be difficult to get onto my bike stands. I'm 63 with some health issues so I really feel the weight. I used a pedal lift stand in the garage, and a triangle when out riding for parking the bike. I also found the Alta annoying to just move...

    Dust Moto

    It appears to be another 7/8 size bike. What's with all the 3/4 and 7/8 size bikes? These guys are killing me here.

    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    I literally just wrote this ^^ in the post right above your's. So yes, I've looked into the Storm Bee months ago when it was released, and am not interested in a 280 lb porker with questionable suspension for single track riding that I mentioned that I like to do. If I wanted a porker for...

    280 lb porker on single track? No thanks, Lol.

    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    Hi Don, thanks for the info and encouragement. I've seen your builds here and they are impressive. I just sold my Alta MXR (loved it, but not the weight and no factory support) and am back to riding my nicely setup '16 Husky FE350 which works pretty good for me, although it is getting a bit long...

    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    I'm pretty sure the Dragon isn't full sized so its not a fit for me at 6'5".

    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    "No amount of money or ingenuity can shave 60 lbs off a Varg ..." Exactly. For single track riding, I agree completely and that is why I cancelled my Varg order (plus all the delivery hassles). If I was shopping for a single track e-dirt bike, the Ultra Bee would be my top pick at the moment...

    EM Factor-E Trials: 4-speed transmission, Flywheel, and Clutch

    Very interesting, can't wait to hear the reviews on it. And when are they going to develop and sell a full sized MX/enduro bike? Seems like the next logical step for them. Perhaps they're waiting for next gen batteries to come out to allow a better power to weight ratio.

    Varg charging from generator.

    I agree with this strategy. I liked the B&S Q6500 for my Alta, its now my home backup power generator. Ps: so many maths in these posts, Lol.

    Dealership delivery

    There is no "Stark" process for this as far as I can see. Stark isn't proactively working on any work arounds to get bikes in the hands of the early order peeps who are in the states where the direct to consumer sale bikes cannot be shipped directly to the customers. It appears that if you...

    Dealership delivery

    You forgot the part about the bike being advertised as 240 lbs and it then ballooning to 260 lbs. Add in all the other crap you already mentioned and I believe I am due a refund on my deposit. I upheld my end of the deal, Stark did not, not even close. Requested a refund, it was refused...
