    Dust Moto

    $3,500 in parts; absolutely. Ultra wheels/tires will be over $1,000 and good aftermarket suspension is over $3,200 so there is $4,200 worth of value right there vs upgrading an Ultra. Of course, if Surron decided to offer upgrade options right from the factory (21/18, good suspension, bigger...

    Dust Moto

    Right, but now we are in the realm of "get what works best for your use case" and not price. Battery may be down on size/range, but if suspension quality and power are on par and the battery range works for you, then many would choose a bike this size over a Varg. I love my Varg, but if these...

    Enduro Model Confirmed

    It is likely region specific, but along the rocky mountain front, the dealerships are filled with enduro bikes (race bikes and air-cooled "fun" bikes) compared to motocross bikes. And used versions of the air cooled fun bikes, in all sizes but especially kids sizes, are hard to find and hold...

    €50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company

    Here is a Royal Enfield with Stark motor and two Varg batteries mounted side by side. Credit to @fsfs who found and posted this vid in another thread. As I mentioned in that thread, funny when the guy in the video points at the Stark gear case cover and says "I don't know what Stark is". Ha...

    Electric Cycle Rider Full Size E Dirtbike Shootout - Artic Leopard vs Stark vs Alta vs E&C

    I recall seeing Royal Enfield and Stark entered into some agreement and was waiting to see what would com3 of it. I guess this is the first. I love when he points at the Stark gear case cover and says "Stark. I don't know what that is". Ha. Two Stark 6.5kWh battery packs side by side like that...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Bought one of these from DrJohnsen42. For Sale - CHR Battery Warmer Not sure how many he has available. Kind of pricey at $250, but cheaper than $685 that @AL_V was quoted. It doesn't quite fit with the frame and skidplate of the Varg. I might pull the skidplate so it fits better and the...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    When I tested, I turned the phone to portrait at one point and, since both apps show 1:1 ratio squares, the view was the same as in Landscape mode, unfortunately. I didn't bother with a screenshot.

    Yeah, been keeping an eye on that. Will be interesting to see how things play out.

    Electric Cycle Rider Full Size E Dirtbike Shootout - Artic Leopard vs Stark vs Alta vs E&C

    I usually avoid yearningly bringing up "but wait until X future tech is here. That will change everything", but solid state batteries are coming along nicely and hitting the retail market. Have seen various small battery-powered items showing up on Amazon and other retail outlets, but now, some...

    How Do You Plan To Survive (Battery) the Winter?

    I've always shot for 50% - 60% SOC with all of my lithium batteries that I store off season (everything from Surron batteries, eMTB, camper batteries, fishing boat trolling motor batteries, etc.). I have an uninsulated and unheated shop, though, so it gets cold. Heck, winter has barely started...

    Electric Cycle Rider Full Size E Dirtbike Shootout - Artic Leopard vs Stark vs Alta vs E&C

    It sounds like that "20lbs lighter" come at the expense of range. Smaller batteries are lighter. With my Varg, I'm wanting to go the opposite way because I trail ride; no MX. Current 6.5kWh and 260lb, I'd take another 20lb of battery to add even more range. I still think Varg should come up...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Reducing font didn't make a difference. There is only one size smaller than default, which doesn't reduce it much, but it's not the font keeping the view too wide; it's the block sizing they have separating the quadrants of the screen. Even if a very tiny faunt was allowed, the Neutral/Power...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Went out and tried the split screen while connected to the bike. On my Stark phone, in landscape mode, it doesn't let me adjust the split screen, so it's a 50/50 split. This doesn't allow the Stark app to display the edges of that apps screen view which is where two important metrics are...

    F150 powerboost Generator Mode

    Thanks. Good info. Oh, and I'll note the other benefit of the hybrid....the kick in the pants when you romp the accelerator. Ha. That electric motor sure fills in the turbo lag and adds to the low-torque pressed-into-the-seat feel. Loved it. I had a powerboost F150 for a loaner for a day when...

    F150 powerboost Generator Mode

    Worth noting that the Powerboost hybrid battery is only 1.5kWh (1,500 watt hours), and only a fraction of that is usable. Not sure the amount, but maybe the middle 60%? If so, that would be 900 watt hours. That is reasonably large as 900 Wh is about 70% of the Wh of a typical 12v 100ah lithium...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    Thanks. I'll take a look and see what split screen looks like. Might be a bit crowded, but won't know until I try with my particular mapping app. My appending "- Edit: Solved" to the subject wasn't meant to close the thread; just inform that some options were found. I'm editing to remove that...

    F150 powerboost Generator Mode

    The 240v of the F150 hybrid is sure a nice feature. And way more capacity, even in 120v than the non-hybrids. Any Ford equipped with the Pro Power Onboard option also has the Generator Mode, but they are limited to 120v. My Superduty with Pro Power Onboard is limited to 2,000watts of 120v in...

    The Varg Snowbike Thread

    Nice! What snowbike kit are you going with (make and model)? Since we don't have the option to install a coolant kit on the handlebars, electric is the only choice. And since it's not really a known factor on how to tap into the Varg battery, battery gloves are a good choice. I use a version...
