    Great video. Great metrics. This is the video I have been waiting for. I wondered why Stark didn't provide a trail video like this and I guess now I know why. 25 miles of range won't work for me and I'll have to surrender my deposit. I just don't feel like this is the bike I ordered. They said six hours of slow trail riding or about the same range as a 450 on one tank of gas. Opinions will vary but I don't believe those range claims to be true. Also the motorcycle I ordered was 242 pounds not 260 pounds. In my opinion, their marketing claims are fraudulent.

      Yeah the range is a big problem in the woods, and of course they lied about the range and riding time on a charge. It might work for motocross, but it will never work for long trail rides or long enduro races. I did find it strange that you complain it weighs less than they said it does, to me that is a good thing .

Both to give ultimate wheel to ground control, to really control traction and jump logs, or steep rocks or bulders. If it had a clutch as an option I would have put in an order months ago.

    I really must admit to being extremely disappointed at your extrapolated range from battery charge of 100% to 0 of approximately 25.5 miles. I routinely do 45 mile rides on my KTM 250XC-F. I’m hopeful you’d have the patience to do a 100 to 0 test.

      I would say that the result actually is a bit better then I expected. Range won’t be a problem for me since I mostly use the bike for intense training and riding, not day trips or excursions. There’s some long range competitions here in Sweden that I rode in the past but this bike wouldn’t have enough range for those, but there’s plenty of other races that won’t be a problem so I’ll be fine. I think that electric bikes with that kind of range is far off in the future.

Massively bummed.

      @@jaynenI totally get what you’re saying. However, enforcer Enduro is actually doing an Enduro with a Stark. I watch all of Haskell’s videos and I see how hard he pushes his Varg in a Moto setting at the 60 hp map. Stark says six hour endurance for Enduro. Of course that would be the most optimistic but if I could get 2/3rd of that, it would be just fine but Enforcer Enduro is seeing less than that and this is just not workable for the average Enduro guy in the states.

    how much power does the stark varg make at lower speeds, electric motors dont have truly flat power and up until around 70 kmh the bikes power will increase with rpm, this means that at very low rpms the bike should not be making much power, maybe aroun 10-20 hp, how does the bike feel at lower speeds and how well does it pull the front tire up from low speeds?, it would be cool to do a video on that too

      Horsepower doesn’t matter that much at low rpm every engine/motor will make low power at low rpm. Torque is more important if u want that acceleration that will flip the bike upside down!

    The other test I wanna see... drop it in 3' of water. Everything but a grip under.
    That's the reason I love 2 strokes and kick starts. Pull the plug, pump out the water, fire it up. Worst case, drop the oil.
    What happens when this thing goes for a swim?

      Its quite hard to compare since the track is a lot more beaten then when I had my E-XC. Also its not a fast track, really technical with slow riding. I released a new video yesterday on a proper track and there theres a night and day difference.

    I like the video, but it would be much better if you talk over it while you are riding, it is a little boring just hearing the whine of the electric motor.

      I was thinking about it but I don’t have time writing a script and recording, I rather ride my bike 👍

    thats a perfect surron trail.(way to slow for a varg) a pimped surron will beat the varg here.

      We have surrons being carried around parts of the trail quite often so it depends on how strong you are
