Stark VARG shuts down after a few meters of movement

[louis]

Hey everyone,

I received my brand new Stark VARG just yesterday and wanted to share an issue I’m experiencing, hoping someone might have an idea or has gone through something similar.

First off, I absolutely love the way the VARG looks and rides – during the first short test ride (about 10 minutes), everything worked flawlessly. I was really impressed and super excited to finally have it!

After that initial ride, I charged the bike overnight. The next day, when I tried to ride again, I ran into a strange problem: the bike powers on normally, all features work fine, and it stays on indefinitely in both neutral and gear as long as the rear wheel doesn’t move.

However, as soon as the bike starts to roll – even just a few meters, with or without throttle – it shuts down completely. I’ve tested it both while sitting on the bike and while it's on a stand with the rear wheel in the air. The result is always the same: once the rear wheel rotates, the system shuts off.

I’ve already tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it, but unfortunately that didn’t help either.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have an idea what might be going on? I'd really appreciate any input!


Thanks in advance, Louis

I've been watching the Starks since they were announced in December of 2021, and I have owned one for about a year.
I can say I have not heard of this exact problem.
But, if you haven't already, fill out the support form on the Stark Future website, and you should hear back from Stark within 24 hours.
It sucks to wait so long for your bike and then have problems, but Stark will get it sorted out for you.
