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

    I haven't received my Varg yet, but I assume, since they are mx, they come with non-ring chains, correct? Plus they are riveted and no master link. So I'll replace with an O-ring or x-ring chain anyway so will decide on sprockets before getting chain. I know o-ring sap a tiny bit of power and...

    Varg charging from generator.

    Of note, the battery is charged at the exact same voltage (I don't recall the voltage) no matter if the charger is running of 120v or 240v. Battery resistance doesn't figure into this conversation because the charger charges the battery with the exact same voltage no matter which voltage the...

    Varg charging from generator.

    There are a few things going on here. First, like other said, your generators max watt output is the limiting factor. Changing voltage in and of itself is not changing how many watts your generator is outputting. And, by using a voltage converter (going from 120v to 240v), you are losing even...

    E-bikes banned at FIM SuperEnduro - - Last minute rule change

    I see your argument. I'll note, though, there are plenty of aftermarket parts for EV. Besides all the parts that are the same as ICE (wheels, tires, chains, plastics, bars, suspension, etc.), you have battery, motor, controller, throttles, etc. Look at the endless mods available for Surron...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    I'm in the same boat, wanting to get refund on $100 deposit for one of my orders, since things changed so much since initial order (timeline, weight, delivery model, etc.). But not the end of the world if it's not a simple process and I knew what I was getting into when I put it down. I'll...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    For those whose dealerships are charging "doc fees" etc. (mine is not), I'm curious to hear final outcome if you push back and say you won't pay a penny more than the original agreement? What are dealerships doing? Obviously they have no control over, and not wiggle room on, passthrough costs...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    I'm in southwest MT and Hi-Tech Motorsports in Billings is the closest dealership. I didn't get to choose the dealership. Stark assigns the dealership based on your address in their system. They assign the closest dealership to that. I suspect it's a "change your address it changes the assigned...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    If you had your address set to MT address in Stark's order system, I would have expected them to assign a MT dealership to you. Curious if you had CA or MT in their online system? They were not verifying State of legal residency or shipping addresses that I know of. You might still be able to...

    Received my email from Stark “ready for production”

    You would have paid the exact same sales tax online even even if your Varg shipped direct to your door. When you check out on the website, it would have charged you the appropriate State sales tax. Varg being delivered through a dealership has no impact on the State sales tax you will pay.

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Yep. Same here. Super excited until I read it. Even though they say in big type "General Payment Instruction" and have a fake order number and name shown (Name is: Test Customer), I'm sure there will be some misinterpretation. Stark probably won't mind if a bunch of preorder holders pay in...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    The email you pasted above is not an invoice. It's just generic instructions they emailed to everyone. I received the same thing. I did not receive an invoice yet (I ordered the first day and have an estimated delivery of Jan 15 like you). Or did you also receive an actual invoice or request for...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    I've not received my personal payment email yet, but Stark just sent out an email with General Payment Instructions, I assume to everyone. GENERAL PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS Dear Stark Future Customer, for your safety and security, we kindly request that you adhere to the...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Agreed that order numbers have nothing to do with VIN. Order numbers are not consecutive either so no way of telling your order placement, or where you are in line, by order number. I have multiple orders and other than the first two letters being the buyers initials, the remaining five digits...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Yes, the latest updates to everyone's estimated deliver dates, came out a couple days ago. That is what got this thread buzzing again. Most have moved 2 to 2.5 months out. Mine moved from Sept 30 to Dec. 15 (I ordered within hours of order website opening on Dec. 14, 2021). I have other orders...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    The alternative would have been them saying "We have no idea when we'll be able to deliver" which would not have been any better of an end user experience. They gave their best "estimated delivery date" based on the info they had at the time. As things came up, they adjusted the "estimated...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Fully agree that Stark should be communicating the delays better (similar to how they did the first delays). As for the Tesla comparison, I'm not saying anything is "okay". I'm simply comparing how Tesla takes deposits/preorders and doesn't even try to predict an exact delivery date. They...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    They are Dmd if they do and Dmd if they don't state targeted/estimated delivery dates. I don't think it would have been any better of an experience if they do what Tesla does and not even provide an expected date. Just say, sometime in the next 3 years you might get it. Ha. Obviously, all...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Correct. Stark has co firmed via email to several people that a person can push your delivery date later if desired.
