Stark better get that factory ready to do some numbers because this is going to change everything about MX. Low maintenance pretty much ready to go out of the box. Chains and sprocket brakes and the suspension gone through every once in a while. Very low maintenance compared to a conventional MX bike. Hats of to you for sharing the experience.
Yeah until the motors and ecu start failing and you can't move because the button doesn't work. I have no issue with electric mx bikes but if you think there is less maintenance then your are mistaken. Swapping ICE to an electric motor is a tiny part of keeping your bike running.
@@ohboy2118 and what exactly makes you think it’s the same amount of maintenance as an ICE engine? Is there oil filter changes ever few hours or air filter changes every ride? New pistons and rings at regular intervals? We are talking about the things you have to work on ALL THE TIME if you ride a lot that the electric bikes simply doesn’t contend with. How many of those Alta’s are still out running with the same stock setups from years ago?
@@EMBIKESI guess it comes down to how many hours you ride a week / month. For me looking after my bike was as much about the sport as riding. Rebuilds once or twice a year no big deal especially if you live in a country where you might not ride for a few months over winter. With suspension servicing, tyres, brake pads, chains, spockets, grips etc still has to happen. I just don't see how not changing oil and filters would make that amount of difference to my spanner time.
@@ohboy2118 it's not about the little things as much as it's not requiring you to rebuild the engine. And yes a rebuild isn't the most complex thing in the world on a dirtbike, but for beginners and people who want to ride not wrench, it's pretty cool. Lots of people seem to be on one side or the other for some reason, gas bikes are sick, electric bikes are sick, in different ways for different people

It looks like your still practicing a bit, but you did it well. :) I lowered my YZ a bit, and love a real off camber corner again. :)
Hi Brian and thanks for this video. I've ordered a Stark Varg a year ago and can't wait to ride it. Can you tell me how long you can ride it on a track before getting low in battery ? 45 min, 1 hour, more than that ? Regards
Where the other guys all out of fuel or is that battery powered rocket just that quick? Dont answer that, I already know! Been waiting to see more of this monster! What a beast! Would be perfect for me, I can put it down to 15 hp or crank it to what? 80? and anything inbetween... I'd probably undo my self at 20 hp, I'll be honest! xD
A generator?! I guess that's the reality until tracks start installing EV chargers? Though if you bought an EV truck as well, like the new Ford Lightning, you could charge off of that. It actually sounds kind of cool... like distorted 2-stroke audio that has been sped up. I would hate to see you endo and smash your helmet into that bar mounted Android device. I've asked you before about that and you said you can ride without the phone docked. Do they have a special bar pad? I ask because with or without the phone docked, it still looks like it would be gnarly hitting your face on that. Yes, the suspension seems strong and the bike super-fast. I would to own a Stark Varg for just the feature of being able to adjust horsepower and engine breaking. Oh yeah, 100% torque, 100% of the time I'm sure is epic. I'm glad to see that you really didn't encounter any haters, that most everyone are giving you the thumbs up. I wonder how the vet class is going to feel when you wax them on that thing? I can perhaps see some rule changes coming. IDK? PS: It would cool for you to do a lap time comparison of you on a ICE 450 vs. your Stark Varg?
I'm not sure it will help keep tracks open tbh. The greenies with find the next argument to use once the noise issue is null and void because godforbid anyone should enjoy anything other than mainstream sport for our kicks.
Interesting contrast between regular practice and when it was just you near the end, so much quieter. It would definitely open new riding opportunities closer to town.
Can you ride practice two full race motos without a recharge? How do you charge it at the track? And how long to charge? So if you trail ride you can only go as far as 50% of your distance or you’ll never get back
first lap coming up on the kid and the thumper, all I could think was..."they have no idea you're right behind them." 😄 "good little track. not too crazy." me: it's all rolling table tops. man. this bike. imagine being 220 lbs and being able to ride a bike with the ergos of a 125cc 2-stroke and more usable power than a 450cc 4-stroke. me so jelly.
wonder how it would be xcountry or enduro, mountain riding , back bush riding. Wondering about slow torque riding like single line. Wouls it overheat and single line is first 2nd gear mostly Thoughts
And I think enduro is less kwh consumer than MX... "Mx" use hard ride on my stock (5kw motor/2kwh battery) surron I have 30/40min maximum range. I'm very curious with this starvarg 40kw motor how far you can go with 6kwh battery ...
Look great, if you have an electric car or truck, i wonder if you can use it to charge the bike up? The bike only has a small battery compred with a cars, if it was possible, probly get quite a few charges out of it
3:05--also notice your bars are pulled back, and the grip ends are pointing down. Easier to hold the elbows up and easier to corner. I don't like the high handlebar set up today----either. lol Not only is it higher and harder to keep your e;bows up, but there is something about my hands being in line with the steer tube that makes the steering twitchy. I think high bars are good for freestyle and SX rhythms, with a more forward rider position and more rear sag. But using both set up's, I prefer the old bar set up, (because I am not doing freestyle of SX rhythms), and less sag.
Yeah most of the ones it triggers don’t understand it or the purpose anyways. All they do is try to tie it to politics, people taking their ICE bikes away, or the irony or using a generator by making stupid comments. None of which are true it’s to help grow the sport and a compliment to it.
There is no throttle cable, it's an electronic throttle, it's just a wire. Even most non-electric higher end bikes have electronic throttles with no cable these days.
@@ShiftGearsMoto ummm 👉🥺👈 If you're truly loving that SHELTERED LIFE, you should do a little research before starting an argument. I'm JUUUSSST SAAYING.
I will test that one day. Its actually fun riding around in a lower power setting sometimes. You have to ride differently, carry your speed through corners and such. I just enjoy the 60hp setting a lot for motocross
I think it's definitely the electric bike to own right now! I'd buy one now if I didn't have to wait so long to get it. Its going to be cool seeing what bikes get released to answer it in near future.... I have lots of solar power on my house and mx track in my back yard so definitely can see a ebike coming my way...
Feels like a 250 2stroke weight wise when riding it around the track. Very light, nimble, and flickable feeling. You only feel the weight lifting the bike on and off the stand.
5.23.23 Very cool Bryan. Less heat from the engine, help keep you cooler. No gas, no oil, no shifting, no clutch and just twist the throttle. Do you think you will race Pala this coming weekend 5.27.23? Looked to be the fastest guy out there. Nice and quiet just the electric motor whine. Were you using a foot rear brake? You will have a real advantage on the starts.
The sound of the combustion engines at high revs is almost half the spectacle of racing motorbikes (and cars as well), this is, and will be, irreplaceable, but man, it must be admitted, the effectiveness of the electric bikes is unstoppable, I'm absolutely attached to the sound and sensations a powerful combustion engine brings, but this is clearly the future.
My excitement for the KTM 50’s that race SX now has changed zero since they transitioned to electric. If anything it has gotten better because we are talking about what’s happening during the race.
While I miss the braap of a 500 2t, the electric bikes open up so many possibilities. My friend has a small MX track that is across the street from housing and has zero noise complaints. These bikes will enable MX to continue as property development comes closer to the tracks. Once you get past thinking you have a flat tire, it's all good.
The sound is interesting actually, better than I thought. The bike looks dialed already, very impressive, almost too quick... Nice riding skills too, congrats !

Sounds like about 6 laps before you feel the power loss. Have you got it down to 50% or below?
He's running it at 50-60% power limited already in the video so probably no loss in feel at those levels
Video was about 18 minutes. Is that how long a charge lasts?
