Varg Skugga - for the shadows

[happyinmotion]

Just announced on LinkedIn, the Stark Varg Skugga (Shadow) is aimed at the "enforcement, security, and defense" markets. No concrete details about how it's different from the current models.

It's clear to me how electric bikes can be sneaky. There's heaps of goats and deer where I ride and I'm often coming around a corner and surprising them, to the point I have had to brake to avoid hitting a big billy.

And right now, I can see why a Swedish company might be interested in the defense market. The old joke goes that the Swedish military trains to resist attacks from all four directions of the compass - the east, the north-east, the south-east, and the west-east.

looks like its just a reskin of the EX. While the supermoto might just be a change of wheels, they are most likely also considering onboard charging for it or something too.

Yes many ebike manufacturers do that, Zero, Dust, Strix, Surron...
How many they sell is a different matter but there is a niche market for special ops. And it's a great marketing opportunity.

Haven't heard this before but extremely funny
In all exercises I've done with green clothes on the enemy seem to come from... the east. And using red as the B-team colour...
