"Action Needed: Secure Your VARG EX Delivery Date"

[Bosch]

I think first deliveries were originally scheduled for early February, we'll see how it goes.
If you were to order today, estimated delivery is 7th of April (2.5 months), so this looks like February delivery are still a go, not long to wait to find out.

First deliveries for UK were estimated as 10th Feb, I paid full price on 19th Dec and have an estimated date of 17th Feb.

Has line status changed now? Seeing as you're 2 and a half weeks away from estimated delivery.

 

[Bosch]

Line Status - No
I do have a VIN assigned now though.
I would expect they will build in batches for shipping, fill a container then ship to a distribution center.
US guys seemed to get their VIN earlier, but shipping will take longer (ship across Atlantic v Truck to UK).
I am not sure who gets to see their Line Status, maybe only people who have bought direct from Stark Future.

I ordered my EX on 10th Dec - Deposit only, with a estimated delivery date of 17th Feb.
Stark pretty quickly told me if I paid in full I could secure a 10th Feb estimated delivery slot.
I ended up paying the full amount on 19th December as I had to move some funds around first.
I now still have a estimated delivery slot of 17th Feb.
I am based in UK and will update when I get my next update.

I paid the deposit on the 10/12/24 and the delivery date was quoted as the 10/2/25, in the confirmation email they stated that I had to pay in full before the 10/1/25 to secure that delivery date, so I paid in full 20/12/24, and the delivery changed to 3/3/25, was a bit annoying that the new delivery date only changed after the payment was completed, there was no option to see what the delivery date would be before payment, based in France, I have since had to change the delivery to our local dealer, as I won't be there to recieve it.

I paid for my original Varg as soon as they allowed me to, and received it about two months later. Way earlier than most people in my state. I feel that the payment pushed me ahead in the priority line, who knows what exactly happened behind the scenes.
I ordered an EX a week ago and I believe it has a mid-March expected delivery date. I paid for it in full in advance, as don't feel there is any chance of Stark taking my money and going out of business before they deliver the bike.
To each their own, if you don't trust Stark, wait for the EX to hit volume production and purchase from a dealer. If you trust Stark and want the EX earlier, pay them in advance.

from 10th February to 3rd March now 13th March,

gary, we’ll keep you informed as we hit key milestones in the production and shipping process. You will get the next communication, when your bike leaves our factory in Spain.

 

[DaveAusNor]

Seems like the first batch will be 13th of March for most EU destinations from the little snippets of info I've seen so far, my own update email included. (I was pushed back after paying, and now pushed up)

 

[Beagle]

Yeah, for Gary, paid in full 20th of December, gotta be in the very first batches, also delivery to south of France can't really get much closer than that. So if it's now slated for mid March I would assume no February deliveries.

 

[Zraaap]

I received an email from Stark yesterday updating my delivery date.

Original dates
Purchased on Jan 18th (paid in full)
Estimated production Feb 18th
Estimated delivery March 10th

Updated dates
Production Feb 5th (yesterday)
Estimated delivery April 10th

Kind of a bummer to hear that it entered production a week sooner than expected but will be delivered a month later than expected. But ultimately I'd rather have the bike be well assembled and functional than get here quick with issues. We'll see if those dates change as time goes on.

I got the email from "Sam" on Wed 5th Feb saying mike bike is in production.
Estimated delivery is now 4th Apr, moved from 17th Feb.
On the Stark site the order still shows as Line Status = Not Started.

Thanks for update. Thats really bad to hear. So far I got no info from my local delar. Last info (begining of Jan 2025) was that delivery is still scheduled for 10 Feb 2025. No further info.
Two months delay will ruin my day - but as mentioned. Better to get fully Ok bike with no bugs then early shipment with major failures. I would appreciate any further info.

Stark delivery schedules remain a dark art. With their mixed system of dealers and direct to customer it's hard to understand how to get the bike at the earliest. They have to serve both customers and dealers orders plus progressively stock dealers.

They have great success but remain a growing startup with just 300 employees and presumably one production line. To get some perspective, PMG was building 1000 bikes every day, Stark needs about a month to make as many bikes.

 

[Tihver]

I asked the local dealer about delivery and received such a response: "The first ones will arrive this month. Our demo will also arrive then. Your bike will arrive in April."

Greetings from Estonia

 

[MAVERICK]

I'm from Barcelona, Spain, I've ordered my EX on December 10 and delivery date expected to be February 10. Just got an email saying that my bike is in production but changing the delivery date to March 13th. They asked for patience. They said due to the supply chain and trying to be super good at quality control... . Didn't have a VIN yet and line says NOT STARTED. Can't wait to receive my Varg EX!

When did you pay in full (if you don't mind)?
That would be so cool to be allowed to get it directly at the factory, anyway delivery should not be long for you

 

[MAVERICK]

I payed in full the same day, December 10!
Yes I’d love to go get it at the factory but they doesn’t offer the pick up option I think!

Thanks paid in full 10th of December delivery to Barcelona, you should be in the first batch, just weird you didn't get a VIN.

 

[DaveAusNor]

My guess is they have 2-3000 bikes ready for shipment, just waiting on some part that got delayed. If Spain, france, Norway and the UK all have the same march 13th expected delivery date.

Stark factory is in Girona, right?
When I talked to them they offered me a direct pickup (i.e. I arrange all the transport), but I doubt I could just walk to the factory gate. Logistics companies do that.

It's funny that you have to wait longer than someone in California, but it was explained in this (or similar thread) already:
Stark guys know the importance of marketing, and that USA is the primary market. They need to make one big, coordinated media splash.

A month delay is almost nothing when working with a producer of anything who needs to align production and global delivery.
I doubt even Toyota is more punctual.
