@@JeffWalker84 lmfaoooo you made electric dirt bikes seem more fun than I I’d like to think they are. Looked like a damn riot! That 80hp mode on a full battery has to feel STUUUUUPID!
Agree! When i contacted my dealership i wanted a red 80hp Varg with foot brake. They got a delivery of vargs the next week and asked if i would concider a gray varg with hand rear brake instead. I don't know what i was thinking wanting foot brake.
@@farbrornilsson9709 😅😅😅. When I first ordered mine I ordered it with foot and i thought about it for a few days and then changed it. It just makes so much more sense to use a finger to brake vs foot in a tech 10 🤷♂️
@@Ozfreerider_adventures 100%! I mean foot brake is just a solution since gas needs a clutch. Just run the brake on the handlebar. I was just used to that left lever was clutch so i didn't want a brake there but i got used to it so fast and damn it so good! I can have my right leg out in curves and still brake if i need to. Love it!
My thoughts buying were that since I can't race the varg anywhere yet, I wanted to keep consistent with the bikes I do race. But I did go back and forth many times on my order.
The only people I've seen hate on it are the weird redneck fruitloops that will do anything to piss off people who sway left, want a better environment, etc. The same kind of people who think its cool/funny to "roll coal" I'm no lefty, but these are a very specific type of right winger who choose to hate it for petty reasons not really backed by any form of reality
Had mine since December except i went for the grey one WITH rear handbrake. Game changer to have both feets free. You need a Stark, Everyone needs a Stark.
As soon as battery technology advances gas power is done. As it stands electric still sufferes from two things. Thermal management and battery life. There's also weight. But the aforementioned are the two that once solved will revolutionize the industry. This video is the first one I've seen that gave me a more true to life understanding of what one of these is like. If i had the 13k to drop on one I'd get one no question. I'd get the hand brakes. This way it's like mtb. Awesome video bro.
You can get them for 11k tax free now. Lithium Powersports or Kaplan Cycles has a promotion and can ship right away. Pretty sweet deal. I got mine back in March. I originally paid $13,400 and it took approximately two years to get mine. Also they have improved on it and have a version 2 powertrain for increased durability.
I rode of these last weekend at 50HP and was so impressed bro. The ergo's felt so good and the stock suspension was great. I love the feeling of not shifting where you don't run out of gear. Just rev it and it goes! I'm for sure getting one in the next year or so as I literally JUST bought a new GG 450 FE. LOL.
Had one since last October, really glad you enjoy it. Obvioulsy the power of these is insane, but the handling of the Stark is so good. Its the safest most confidence inspiring bike I've ever rode. Also anything below ~70% battery it starts to lose its edge, so you starting at 44% would be a little less responsive right away. Need to try it on 100% & 60hp and its super snappy. 👊
If your bike feels less powerful below 70% battery there’s something wrong with it. Mine feels the same right down to about 15%🤔 . Mine is only 60 hp version so not sure about running them above that
@@Ozfreerider_adventures Its for sure loses its cutting edge, right off the throttle. The power is still there, but I can 100% notice a slight difference in instant response.
@@lifewithbreak4450 are you riding in hot weather conditions? I’ve never had anything like that . I went on a ride and when battery got down to 15% I gave it one last rip in 60hp at the end of a trail ride and the thing still had crazy response
damn, you just got on it and started ripping lol I just bought one to ride around my property, they are pretty incredible bikes to say the least. Sold my 24 kx450 and going to ride this for a while, it's too much fun.
It does ! Gas bikes just feel stupid to me now . Managing engine revs with gears and a clutch just to get the right power delivery seems so dumb . The varg pulls the same at any speed, the more you twins the more it goes it’s so simple
I rode one a few weeks back and for the first few laps I was reaching for the clutch lever that wasn’t there🤦🏻♂️😂 is it me or does it sound like you’re constantly riding round with a flat tyre when you accelerate aswell?😅 proper good fun to ride though!
I rode my buddy’s 60hp Stark Varg and I ride a 450 usually and that thing is ridiculous I can’t imagine 80hp it’s also so easy to ride it comes factory with pegs that are way lower than my yz450s which would be a $400 upgrade it’s just so easy to ride it’s ridiculous you have that much power and it be so easy to ride and also having the rear brake on your left hand is way better than foot brake I didn’t even have to get used to it
@@JeffWalker84 They just had a test day for their range test at the track i work at (Hangtown) and they brought cole seely out and it lasted 37 minutes with him on it but last 5 minutes i believe were on limp mode
With the right suspension setup for your weight, do you think riding this would help you to improve more (ride for training)? e.g. sometimes training with 450 makes you ride faster the 250s.. would that be the case with the 80hp?
I think it would be a great tool for correcting some bad habits that you learn by abusing a clutch! I found that you have to have perfect lean-angle while entering a rut because you don't have the clutch to modulate the power if you're leaning too much or too little. For example, if I don't lean quite enough on a normal bike, I just pull the clutch in slightly and it helps me fall into the turn. Without a clutch, you must have perfect lean angle
@@JeffWalker84 Thanks Good r&d I think maybe the Japanese prototypes(secretative) ,Honda has a clutch lever? Similar trait racing 05 4sp kenny kicker no clutch Rekluse automatic.The 5sp rmz w/upgraded auto had usable clutch modulation, you definitely need a clutch for int,pro,expert racing MX,SX and off-road. My intestines would be filling my ball sack lifting a 267 lb VAr on stand ,80hp good training choice option fun & super moto or pushing north of 174kg lol Full Gate drops in 5 years The premiere class factory teams on 244 lb electric MX models on the fly hp is cool,in the meantime anyone have 12k .
65hp, 30% regen. Rear brake on the bars. That’s nirvana right there. The cornering is 2 fold. A because of the low down weight and B because of the lack of engine inertia. Come to the Uk, I got one here for you brother 😂👍🏻
Jeff: Would this be a good choice of bike for a vet open class racer? (me). And, Should I get the hand lever rear brake, or the foot rear brake? Thanks. love your videos
@@LarrenCole Yes sir. Not having to move your foot from the the balls of your feet is excellent. Right hand corners with your leg stuck out,metering the speed with the hand brake is outstanding. I cannot recommend the Varg enough.
@@LarrenCole 50hrs on mine without a single issue. I've adjusted the chain once. Thats it! I ride moto, hard enduro, singletrack, double track all on the same bike and its killer on all of it.
Yeah I'm thinking I might need that! Mine is pretty early, vin in the 500s, so basically as gen 1 as it gets. I did get a battery replacement under warranty though. It was in the 60s so wouldn't expect it to overheat that quick!
I was like maybe you dont miss the sound so much when you ride like this and have to focus alot. Start going brap brap braaAAAAP... okey maybe you do 😂😂
Motocross is a lot more then twisting a throttle it’s all about controlling the motor clutch gears brakes ballance fuel acceleration ect this just makes it to easy
These electric bikes are gonna need radiators! If they invented something to keep internal combustion (literal explosions) from getting too hot I think a battery overheating issue should be cake!
Don’t get me wrong I like the idea, but you only did a handful of laps and it got to hot and decreased. The whole electric field has a long way to go. Sadly going electric has more of a toll on earth than “fossil fuels”
Electric being worse for the environment is a myth created by petrol companies and car manufacturers. Not that I care anyway I ride a varg because it’s more fun not to be “green” but I do get sick of hearing people repeat the same lies about electric being bad for environment. I wonder how good for the environment that bp oil spill was in the Gulf of Mexico that killed pretty much every sea animal for miles
Honest to God or whatever you believe in, you can try to engineer anything, but simplicity will always win, when my 2 stroke is going to explode, I can hear it so much easier, we see 4 strokes come in, now everyone wants 2 strokes, excuse me I am a nerd who loves engineering hahaha.
2 strokes are good in hard enduro and nothing more . There’s a reason they were killed off from motocross within 10 years even with the reliability issues of early 4 strokes ! If you want simplicity what’s more simple than an electric motor ? 2 bearings and a spinning shaft . Endless tunebality , no exhaust to cave in , no air filter , barely any oil changes , no external radiators to damage , no clutch to wear out , electric will destroy has soon same as 4t did to 2t
