Not even being sarcastic Thankyou for the noise consideration I got not problems with backyard dirt biking,‘other than the fact it’s currently noisy af. I work Monday-Saturday, Sunday I want to relax.. sadly it’s a Crusty Demons show several houses down I know there is electric dirt Bikes currently but this is sick! It’s Ft-lb of torque per ton is effing ridiculous
Just have to say wow! Love all the innovation in the smal details also the fact it's designed from the ground up as an electric and not just an electric motor on a gas engine frame! I hope this can keep the MX tracks alive and not just keeping to getting shut down.
How many tracks are closing? We have some of that occurring in our country also, very frustrating when the MX track was there way before the new houses!
I'm not to much a fan of electric but I think this one is a bit ahead of the rest of the electric bikes. It definitely looks the best to me. However, I won't be selling my XR. 😁
I don’t know. The idea of much less wrenching sounds really good to me. I’ve been working on bikes for over 30 years. Not having to clean and oil air filters constantly is almost enough lol. I may be selling my SX for one of these.
I am impressed !!! i am still not going to sell my 2 stroke, but this would be a very nice addition, and you can ride it anywhere without any noise complain !
Crazy how 2 strokes ruled for a long while then 4 strokes came along for about a decade or so and now this!?. This sport has progressed far and quickly.
To the team at Stark. WELL DONE! This is what we've been waiting for since the death of Alta. I have ordered! Please please hurry up and produce them. Congratulations for designing the best e-bike in the world!
I rode the alta 2018 and really wanted one then the doors were closed. Hopefully these guys have enough $ to get over the first rough patch and keep up. Looks awesome!
Don’t get me wrong, I do believe eBikes are the future, but I really struggle with this announcement: 80HP, can handle MXGP intensity, 6 hours of trail riding… superlatives here and there. BUT: They say the bike has 6kWh battery capacity and that you can ride trails for 6 hours with it. That means you may only have an average power output of 1000W while riding. A hair dryer needs more power than this. Math sucks 😉. But hey, marketing is everything these days. That’s probably the reason only their CEO (MBA) and their communication manager talk about the technical details and no engineer. Important questions are left unanswered, like is the battery included in the price and what about the charger? Can you swap batteries between motos? But at least we learn that it has a 24 carrat gold logo on it. My personal highlight at 11:05: "weights only 110kg fully charged"... Another revolutionary bike like the Cannondale Motocross bike in 2001… But the chain adjuster is cool. Maybe this is something that will stick around.
All the money into this stuff wrecks my vision of what used to be moto bikes! Any true rider would want the old days back instead of what this day of moto has come too. High prices and innovation when some just want 2 strokes from their favorite manufacturer. My opinion of course😞
Over priced electric crap! Check on the cost of a 2nd battery. Maybe this would be just ok for the wealthy sponsored MX rider that has all of the lithium batteries needed!
As an engineer I am so absolutely impressed by this. The fact that you can compete with existing manufacturers at a somewhat similar price point is incredible. I'm convinced that the mx and enduro market is the first one to properly adopt electric bikes. And everything about your bike is equal or better than existing bikes and on an absolutely new platform. Obviously you weren't bound by fuel tanks and combustion engines, however I'm sure that battery packs and electric motors and ESCs bring their own challenges with them. But it's absolutely obvious that you have understood the art and craftsmanship that is engineering, it is visible in many small details, but also know how to market and sell your bikes. The apperance is one such example. It's obviously a big part of motorcycles and your bike looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm pretty sure if you continue your work like this and deliver on your promises (which it does seem like you will do), you will quickly make yourself a recognised brand name and be able to expand your lineup to other areas of motorcycles. And it is hard in this day and age to start up a new company in such an established market. I personally am most interested in a proper enduro version that includes a headlight, other than that you probably wouldn't need to change much. Second on my whishlist would be road legality in europe, but that's a whole other can of worms. However I'm sure you would still make it look awesome, even with indicators and a number plate. Also I'm interested in what you would work on after this is done and production has ramped up. If you are hiring or do internships, hit me up hahaha. Well, you probably don't read TH-cam comments anyway... Still, best Regards
I'm hoping for a hot-swappable battery. In the deserts of the west, being able to swap out the battery is a must. For racers, changing batteries between motos is essential too.
I don't like that they don't respond to questions. I saw a demo with a professional. He was impressed, but the battery was pretty much depleted at 30min.
Yes it has a hot-swappable battery set up video. Sorry I didn't see this question. The battery stays on the bike stand and you lift the front end up and off. Very easy. I use 2 bike stands and 2 battery packs. With out the battery in the bike is very light to change to the 2nd battery. I use the left hand lever/rear brake option. So right turns in a berm my leg is out and rear brake on longer that other moto-cross bikes. Takes about 2 rides to get use to it and watch your lap time drop.
For track motards this thing is gonna be hot. Can't wait to see ebikes break into the professional scene and this seems like a solid step in that direction. E-supercross when?
What i love about this is just maintenance... im just so consumed by work and all the shit around me and then have to spend time with oili checking and all sorts... with electric motocross bikes that nightmare is over... this is my main goal!
A 80hp MX bike doesn’t sound like something available for everyone. You need some special talent to reel it in. That’s the power of a Husqvarna 701 in the weight of a YZ450.
@@moomoodeadcow You are correct, the VARG is one beast of a bike, but I'm sure that with all of the mapping available you will be able to select a beginner mode. I think they actually mention this. Imagine not having to buy a 125, then a 250, then a 450... It's all those in one.
@@mindbomb2000 Yes and I expect them to release a supermoto version of this bike. That'd be super interesting. Because on the asphalt TC and abs just work better. On the dirt, not so much. Also those carbon parts won’t fair well against a rock.
Love love love my 2-strokes, been riding em for 50+ years, but its innovators like this that will help save our sport... best of luck, sure seems like their on the right track (no pun intended)
The Stark Varg is pre ordered (80HP Alpha Version in red with 19 inch rear wheel, hand rear brake and sidestand), thanks a lot to you guys, I JUST LOVE YOU!!! 🙏😊💨💥🏁🏆😍 I've been waiting for such a beauty for quite a long time, I can cry for luck!!! ❤ My former KTM Freeride E-XC it's just middle age!! 😴😬
This is the first electric vehicle of any kind to impress me. I hate the fact I like it, I will miss the smell of 2 stroke. Well done Stark, very innovative! I would like to see a pro rider doing timed laps on one vs a 450.
Josh hill just barely eeked out a win on an Alta against Kyle Cunningham on a 250 in straight rhythm in 2016. Electric might be the future we’re being forced into, but that future is still a very long way off.
@@wesleyg72 they can’t even go two motos without having to have a recharge.. one of my good buddies who I raced with growing up and now our kids race each other mine is on a gas ktm and his is on an electric ktm.. he can only sign his kid up for 1 class when it’s a big race because 1 hour max is how long the battery will last at a sand track.. the battery isn’t removable so you either have an extra bike or have a generator charging between motos.. stupid
Me too, the only reason I am even watching is ability to ride unnoticed in new places. But the Alta, and I imagine this, you could program the power to mimic the powerband of a 2 stroke...but never the cool factor of a smoker
I love it. If you produce a dual sport with lights, turn signals, and suspension valved more for enduro, I will definitely be keeping my nuts safe with you.
Absolutely love this while being broken hearted at the same time knowing I’m too old for the track…. You youngsters couldn’t be living in a better time as far as motorcycles are concerned.
I use 2 their bike stands and 2 battery packs. It wears me out. I have the Alpha 80hp. I'm 6'2" or 188cm 220lbs with gear on and it's a rocket. I still have a CR500 and the Alpha is faster in very way and more controllable. Changing the gear oil is supper fast. Incredibly Fun bike I ever have owned in my life riding all over the US and Canada.
This feels like the future. Watching this video felt like I was sitting in 2050. Yeah the sounds are cool with current gas powered motocross bikes, but everything else about this is better.
But powerbands are fun the noise is fun the smell of race gas is fun the ability to refuel and keep going vs waiting 10hrs to recharge to get back to riding isnt...also what about taking this through creeks and rivers? I'll trust my gas bike to make it and not electrocute me
I wish I could believe this. The next reason to shut down tracks and riding areas will be for dust and soil erosion. There have been threats for nothing but dust alone.
I'm so stoked to see these bikes debut! I don't like the idea of our ICE bikes going away all too much, but I do see these electric motorcycles being an amazing contributor to the industry!
I hope this bike competes at some type of one off event that will allow it to show it's capabilities compared to an ICE MXer. Send Hill back to Redbull Straight Rhythm on this bike.
@@mulisha0351 Making it to the quarter finals isn't getting your ass kicked! Now, if you competed at the event, I'm sure that would qualify as an ass kicking.
It would have to be in an open class it has 20 to 30 more horsepower than any other bike. Explain how thats fair....develop a bike that has equivalent power to the modern MX bike then maybe. They boost this bike with all that horsepower then say it demolishes the competition, well no 💩.
@@KTMsoldier1988 snake oil, people can't even handle 50hp, let alone 80. This is bs marketing to build hype around a failure to be. Look at Alta and it's no different.
One thing that I always ask myself when seeing electric dirt bikes: you have almost unlimited freedom about shape. Why not, for something meant to be used in the dirt, make shapes which are easy to clean? Without nicks and crannies where you have to start disassemble to get it out?
I have been telling my friends e bikes are coming. I just group shared this video to all of 'em. In 5 years if you want to stay competitive you will have to be on an e-bike. I ride trails and i got a chance to ride an Alta for a couple of hours, it would tractor like nothing i had ever ridden. It was heavy as lead but would climb anything i pointed it at and i suk. I hope an 18 inch rear tire and kickstand will be made available. If the 6 hour run time for trail riding holds true this will be my next bike. And let me just say "I will not miss mixing gas, changing oil, adjusting carbs, cleaning air filters, replacing head pipes, packing mufflers, replacing radiators, rebuilding the top end, replacing seals in the bottom end, replacing starters, replacing clutches, carrying 14lbs of tools, buying VP gas and the number one thing i will not miss is falling over in a rock garden 1,000 times and at the crest of a difficult hill climb because the bike died at that critical split second as if to say sorry 'bout your luck loser." So for the love of all that is Holy, give me an 18' rear wheel and a kickstand because i want, need and have been waiting for this bike. My nutz could definitely use a long awaited break.
@@lifeoutdoors3953 that’s alot of character judgement to pass down based on a YT comment. FYI I work alot, so the chances of me getting lazy are zero. At $11,900 these bikes are real close to the price of a new Husky 300. How many they will make and sell is yet to be known. I’m 50 years old, Ive been riding for 41 years. I have two sons and a grandson who ride and i taught them how to ride. I currently own and maintain five motorcycles. That qualifies me as an enthusiast. So if my old ass is tired of working on dirt bikes, it’s because i fucking earned it dip shit. BYW, I see your reply stating you would like to have an e-bike of your very own. Maybe that was before you checked the price. And 30 years old sure AF aint “old school”. It’s just 30. You hate phones but use one to troll people on YT. You have a YT user profile but zero content. Lol, you’re nothing but a poser. The only bike you own is a little tikes 12v battery powered two wheeler with training wheels. And yea, they are easy to ride, even for a half wit bird brain like you. You couldn’t kick start a crock pot but i got $100 says you can suck start a Peterbuilt. Keep doin circles in yo momma’s basement on your police bike dip shit.
@@orijinalgamesta9738 easy stuff I ride hard enduro. Rode erzberg 3 times so it can’t be to hard over there in the small hills of nc what’s the highest elevation 6 thousand feet? Psshhh Childs play
@@lifeoutdoors3953 then you should have no problem staying on my back tire. Show up or shut up poser. Funny i dont remember seeing a 12v battery powered police bike in any hard enduro races ive watched. You must have already won i suppose. You’re a joke. Judging by your banter I’d say you’re about 13ish with a poster of a dirt bike on your door. And please tell me during your 3 races at Erzberg rodeo (as if) you didn’t stall the bike due to your superior clutch control 😂.
Wow this is the first electric motorcycle or vehicle for that matter that I actually want! It seems like you guys checked every box and 80HP that’s amazing!
Please get an extreme enduro rider to test it and consider adding a clutch type function for technical riding. I own several types of electric bikes and can’t wait to have an electric enduro bike!
It would be impressive if the enduro version comes with a belt drive rather than chain. Truly silent would be perfect for enduro/ freeride single-track.
@@TheDesmoto and yes, I'm speaking for myself and showing my opinion. This is it. You're free to feel attacked, but it doesn't makes sense. Surely not speaking for you 👍
@@TelmoMonteiro i won't knock it for being a really well engineered / built bike because it is. it just won't give me the thrill i get from a gas engine that's all
Needs a clutch for fine power regulation and safety for shutting off power when you’re hanging off the back. Also…need to see it last a full MX GP race
Not really with all the torque of an electric motor and the ability to tune it you really don't need to worry about a clutch cuz you will get that instant torque as quick as you can pull the throttle
@@kingofallworlds That's not true at all, your left hand is just as important on a gas bike for power modulation. When you're getting kicked around it helps to have a lever (and not a twisting motion) to more accurately cut power. It's not about the power delivery, it's about controlling how much of that power goes to the drivetrain
Awesome emx! Can't wait for a dual-sport road legal bike with this design! Hopefully I wont be too old when I can afford one in the future and ride it here in our city!
Really hoping dealers get behind this, as one big concern with any new brand is whether you can get parts locally when you need them. I get that you can always go to the manufacturer when there isn't a dealer locally, but that usually means a longer wait. Besides that, I for one am not that knowledgeable when it comes to electric vehicles, and this bike would be more attractive if it also came with a dealer network capable of handling technical support issues. I'm ready to jump in, but I'd like to talk to my dealer about this bike before pulling the trigger. My dealer sold the Alta and still sell the KTM Freeride-e. I'm convinced other brands will bring EVs to market in the coming years, but why wait? Considering everything this company has done in terms of innovation, patents, etc., I can't see the other brands improving on what this bike has to offer for a while. I hope the ride reviews on the bike will be positive ... one thing mentioned already is whether this bike will overheat with prolonged hard riding. Stark says no, but I'd like to hear that from an unbiased source. Other than that, I really can't find anything to complain about.
6kwh in the battery will push a Tesla about 20-24 miles. If you equate petrol fuel economy of a YZ450 at full chat on an MX track, it uses similar fuel to a car so I’d reckon the battery range is nearer to 30 mins. Really hope I’m wrong and these bikes can do a GP distance even if they pegged the power back to say 60hp. Would be great to see the old mx tracks open for business again and more places to ride.
@@nathancrittenden8525 a 6kwh battery can be fully charged in 40minutes so that should be possible. I do t want to see petrol powered bikes gone any more than you do but at some point in the future, these electric mx bikes will dominate and be faster than a petrol bike!
@@willgarrod9907 he said it will charge in 1 to 2 hours so with the charging capabillity that will be available at a track right now thats going to be more like 2
@@nathancrittenden8525 my company makes a solar powered charging station that will charge 40 bikes in 20 minutes then re charge itself over the next 8 hours. They just need 6 or so of them. It’s currently used for pumping water but can easily be adapted. The charging part is actually quite easy, the hard part is making a bike that will run with decent power for 40+mins and not weigh 250kgs like a Motoe bike does.
TAKE MY MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!! WOW LOOKS INCREDIBLE WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HAVE 1 - DREAM BIKE UNBELIEVABLE BUILD - TOTALLY INSANE. WELL DONE TO THE COMPANY 👏👏👏🤯
Questo progetto va applaudito in piedi, che capolavoro, quando vedo questo video mi vengono i brividi di impressionato, devo congratularmi con tutti coloro che sono coinvolti in questo progetto, grazie per averci portato questa alta tecnologia e miglioramenti per lo sport del motocross, grazie voi!
I think the coolest thing about this is the access to completely unusable power. Almost all motor sports govern power to make the sport fair. Imagine a sport that relies on technique, flow and finese, but gives the athletes access to silly amounts of power that they can control and manipulate at any time during a race at will. Total game changer.
This is why MotoE and FormulaE are so much more exciting to drivers. The sport is so much faster and puts your hand-eye-coordination reaction to the test. Lewis Hamilton said he is joining FormulaE after his mercedes contract. A lot of MotoGP and AMA Pros are moving to MotoE in the past few years too. Motorsport fans might not be completely ready for e-motorsports, but the drivers certainly love it..
Great job guys👏 It will be a game changer for sure in the near future, It seems very good for motocross riding but for hard enduro situations it is need some extra development... we are waiting for hard enduro edition 🧐
Enduros?? Like I still think one or the other like why both any this new electric bikes are dumb anyway I 4 stroke it kicks fuel power woooooooooo electric junk
I’ve definitely been waiting for something like this to come out, the day there for sale in Australia. One will be in my garage, you really should consider sponsoring #22 Johnny walker. It would be incredible to see these bikes in hard enduro 👍
There's a lot of amazing engineering that went into this so many cool little details and especially the phone. I have a 2018 Alta mxr which essentially is the same exact battery as what's in this. Here's what I have a problem with this they are totally not telling the truth with battery life and range. If I ride my Alta in map 2 on single track I get about 17 miles tops and that's even being conservative with my riding. If I put it in map three or four and ride all out I probably wouldn't even get 10 miles. They said nothing in this video about having a swappable battery and that would be the only thing I would care about and if it's not that's very disappointing.
Yep the range claims are troublesome, this is a 6kwh pack, meaning it can deliver 6kw for an hour, let's say a moto gp heat is 40 minutes, the battery can deliver an average power of around 8kw for this duration, there is no way the average power output of a 450 during a gp heat is 8kw.
@@romteb agreed. Alta did the same thing on the range claims with their bike. They said it would get 8 hours on the trails and there's no way that's even in the realm of being close to true. Only if you rode it like 1 to 5 mph down a paved road haha.
@@romteb You got me thinking, so I went down a rabbit hole. Electric motors have high efficiency, somewhere in the high 90s percentage-wise, but for math sake we'll call it 100%. Gasoline motors are in the high 20s, low-mid 30s at absolute best; the rest is shed as heat. A gallon of gas according to Google has ~33kWh of energy. Multiply that by a rough 1/3 to simulate efficiency loss and that's about 11kWh per gallon utilized. At 6kWh, the battery has 54% the deliverable energy capacity of a gallon of gas. So yeah, in summary: also skeptical. Wish like hell they've figured something magical out though.
Shame you didnt show some track footage that we could actually hear the bike. Cos lets face it, as much as the noise of a 2 or 4 stroke is its own worst enemy, nothing sounds better.
This is close but You missed a mandatory element. Electric bikes must incorporate a clutch. You can spool energy in a flywheel and release it with the clutch in ways that are not possible with the throttle alone. Additionally, some situations it's easier to pull in a little clutch than it is to roll back the wrist.
i think you may not understand the torque that electric motors have. i encourage you to try an electric......anything ..... dont get me wrong im an I.C.E. guy but .... but a smart soldier has to know the enemy and damn electric shit is gettn better every year
@@jacobnewtron9635 I've ridden a couple good electric bikes. In fact, I bought my daughter a Kuberg Trials Hero. It's 3000w and pulls me around just fine. The torque is great on electric but the lack of a manual clutch is where they fall short. I'm sure it's fine for MX or flowy trails but the moment you get into a technical situation a manual clutch is a requirement. Like I stated above, you can release and remove energy in ways not possible with your wrist alone.
@@Eldon95084 3000w vs 8kw .... i think tuning the varg could give you the snap u desire. but after some reflection i feel you may be onto something, the flicking of the clutch and real time control /regulation has been inhierant to riding since there were engines. throttle is one thing but i now believe/agree with your point ty
The bike looks Awesome! We will need the side number plates to be larger,the curved part will be covered by gripping with our legs. I would like to see actual battery life since Alta did not deliver the time they stated. Keep up the good work!
I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I gave up MX and Enduro a couple of years ago - fed up with maintenance and noice coplaints. This will be perfect for a hobby rider like me. Good work Sweeden!!! Love from Norway 💪
That motor almost looks Exactlyyyyyyy like the Alta motor without its coolant sleeve 🙃 super stoked y’all are coming into the market though!! Please pull through and deliver!
This looks amazing! Still one big question mark: how do you charge between motos? Bringing a big diesel generator doesn't sound like the environmental change we want. And clubs don't support power charge yet...
How many normal riders go through more than one tank of gas at each ride? And how many woods riders ride for more than 6 hours? If the claim of the batteries capacity is correct of course?
@@danielkarlsson608 I have an Alta mxr which basically has the same battery as this. This bike won't get more than 15 miles in the woods at race pace. Most hair scrambles are at least 30 miles.
Looks really impressive. I also won't sell my XR650R but this is the future of MOTO X and all motor sports. This is the first electric Moto x bike that actually looks like one 😍
There is a lot of debate on the safety concerning such low noise levels. Stark, i think it would be good for your team to come up with a solution. It doesn't need to make as much noise as a roaring 450 but it does need something so it can be heard a couple hundred meters away on trails so hikers and people on horses etc can hear us coming? Suggest a sound generated which is mapped to motor speed and emits a frequency which is not annoying or overly loud, but alerts people to it's presence? This feature should be incorporated in to all e-bikes. Lead the way Stark!
Very promising, and well thought out. I don't know why the big manufacturers have chosen to ignore many of the improvements you guys have made. That being said, I will be waiting a few years for these bikes to be truely battle tested, and the inevitable flaws of any new bike to be changed.
Amazing ingenuity and engineering in that bike. I'd buy one if I were spending some time racing at an mx track but, for an all-day ride in the hills, I'd need a bike I could refill in a minute and get going again.
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful bike!

I don't like that they don't respond to questions. I saw a demo with a professional. He was impressed, but the battery was pretty much depleted at 30min.
Yes it has a hot-swappable battery set up video. Sorry I didn't see this question. The battery stays on the bike stand and you lift the front end up and off. Very easy. I use 2 bike stands and 2 battery packs. With out the battery in the bike is very light to change to the 2nd battery. I use the left hand lever/rear brake option. So right turns in a berm my leg is out and rear brake on longer that other moto-cross bikes. Takes about 2 rides to get use to it and watch your lap time drop.
For track motards this thing is gonna be hot. Can't wait to see ebikes break into the professional scene and this seems like a solid step in that direction. E-supercross when?

"with the Stark Varg your nuts are safe"

What i love about this is just maintenance... im just so consumed by work and all the shit around me and then have to spend time with oili checking and all sorts... with electric motocross bikes that nightmare is over... this is my main goal!
Wow, this will for sure revolutionize the motocross sport and make it available for anyone!
This is just like the new automatic trucks now anybody can ride them..
probably will go for 17k plus if you ask me. The expense will get in the way of making it available to anyone
A 80hp MX bike doesn’t sound like something available for everyone. You need some special talent to reel it in. That’s the power of a Husqvarna 701 in the weight of a YZ450.
@@moomoodeadcow You are correct, the VARG is one beast of a bike, but I'm sure that with all of the mapping available you will be able to select a beginner mode. I think they actually mention this. Imagine not having to buy a 125, then a 250, then a 450... It's all those in one.

This is the first electric vehicle of any kind to impress me. I hate the fact I like it, I will miss the smell of 2 stroke. Well done Stark, very innovative! I would like to see a pro rider doing timed laps on one vs a 450.
Josh hill just barely eeked out a win on an Alta against Kyle Cunningham on a 250 in straight rhythm in 2016. Electric might be the future we’re being forced into, but that future is still a very long way off.

Me too, the only reason I am even watching is ability to ride unnoticed in new places. But the Alta, and I imagine this, you could program the power to mimic the powerband of a 2 stroke...but never the cool factor of a smoker

Congrats gents, the bike looks amazing. I've ordered one just because. Feb '25 delivery.
Great engineering! Sounds like a game changer to me. Can't wait for riding one of those 😍
Sounds like over promises.
great claims, engineering unknown.
I use 2 their bike stands and 2 battery packs. It wears me out. I have the Alpha 80hp. I'm 6'2" or 188cm 220lbs with gear on and it's a rocket. I still have a CR500 and the Alpha is faster in very way and more controllable. Changing the gear oil is supper fast. Incredibly Fun bike I ever have owned in my life riding all over the US and Canada.
This feels like the future. Watching this video felt like I was sitting in 2050. Yeah the sounds are cool with current gas powered motocross bikes, but everything else about this is better.
But powerbands are fun the noise is fun the smell of race gas is fun the ability to refuel and keep going vs waiting 10hrs to recharge to get back to riding isnt...also what about taking this through creeks and rivers? I'll trust my gas bike to make it and not electrocute me
Gamechanger! I know a lot of tracks which have Problems with noise pollution at the moment… this could help them to not closing the Track forever. 🙌🏻
Not just tracks but nature parks where they have banned bikes due to noise and pollution.
I wish I could believe this. The next reason to shut down tracks and riding areas will be for dust and soil erosion. There have been threats for nothing but dust alone.
Trust me the Karen's and Government will find reasons to still shut down tracks and trails. People are Shit and that's not changing
I'm so stoked to see these bikes debut! I don't like the idea of our ICE bikes going away all too much, but I do see these electric motorcycles being an amazing contributor to the industry!
I'm very, very impressed with this so far. Can't wait to see more stuff from these guys.
Blown away man. This is the future. Stoked stoked and I’m not even a dirt scooter rider…. Ready to see a electric quad
I hope this bike competes at some type of one off event that will allow it to show it's capabilities compared to an ICE MXer. Send Hill back to Redbull Straight Rhythm on this bike.
He will get his ass kicked just like the last one did to a smoker!
@@mulisha0351 Making it to the quarter finals isn't getting your ass kicked! Now, if you competed at the event, I'm sure that would qualify as an ass kicking.
@@jonjackson6245 trying to change the subject? thats fine, this bike is dead in the water. they are selling snake oil and people see it.
It would have to be in an open class it has 20 to 30 more horsepower than any other bike. Explain how thats fair....develop a bike that has equivalent power to the modern MX bike then maybe. They boost this bike with all that horsepower then say it demolishes the competition, well no 💩.
@@KTMsoldier1988 snake oil, people can't even handle 50hp, let alone 80. This is bs marketing to build hype around a failure to be. Look at Alta and it's no different.
Bravo on the marketing side. This bike was unknown to the world till today and now it is all the talk, i hope it delivers!
One thing that I always ask myself when seeing electric dirt bikes: you have almost unlimited freedom about shape. Why not, for something meant to be used in the dirt, make shapes which are easy to clean? Without nicks and crannies where you have to start disassemble to get it out?
That's AWESOME! Just a bit louder than a Drone!😳💯❤💪👍
That was sick! Love the attention to detail and all the innovations! 👌🏻
Let me know when you want me to test one out! 😉
I have been telling my friends e bikes are coming. I just group shared this video to all of 'em. In 5 years if you want to stay competitive you will have to be on an e-bike. I ride trails and i got a chance to ride an Alta for a couple of hours, it would tractor like nothing i had ever ridden. It was heavy as lead but would climb anything i pointed it at and i suk. I hope an 18 inch rear tire and kickstand will be made available. If the 6 hour run time for trail riding holds true this will be my next bike. And let me just say "I will not miss mixing gas, changing oil, adjusting carbs, cleaning air filters, replacing head pipes, packing mufflers, replacing radiators, rebuilding the top end, replacing seals in the bottom end, replacing starters, replacing clutches, carrying 14lbs of tools, buying VP gas and the number one thing i will not miss is falling over in a rock garden 1,000 times and at the crest of a difficult hill climb because the bike died at that critical split second as if to say sorry 'bout your luck loser."
So for the love of all that is Holy, give me an 18' rear wheel and a kickstand because i want, need and have been waiting for this bike. My nutz could definitely use a long awaited break.
@@lifeoutdoors3953 that’s alot of character judgement to pass down based on a YT comment. FYI I work alot, so the chances of me getting lazy are zero. At $11,900 these bikes are real close to the price of a new Husky 300. How many they will make and sell is yet to be known.
I’m 50 years old, Ive been riding for 41 years. I have two sons and a grandson who ride and i taught them how to ride. I currently own and maintain five motorcycles. That qualifies me as an enthusiast. So if my old ass is tired of working on dirt bikes, it’s because i fucking earned it dip shit.
BYW, I see your reply stating you would like to have an e-bike of your very own. Maybe that was before you checked the price. And 30 years old sure AF aint “old school”. It’s just 30. You hate phones but use one to troll people on YT. You have a YT user profile but zero content. Lol, you’re nothing but a poser.

Needs a clutch for fine power regulation and safety for shutting off power when you’re hanging off the back.
Also…need to see it last a full MX GP race
Not really with all the torque of an electric motor and the ability to tune it you really don't need to worry about a clutch cuz you will get that instant torque as quick as you can pull the throttle
The only real safety is exactly the same as on any bike. Your right hand. Throttle control is just that much more important on an electric.
@@kingofallworlds That's not true at all, your left hand is just as important on a gas bike for power modulation. When you're getting kicked around it helps to have a lever (and not a twisting motion) to more accurately cut power. It's not about the power delivery, it's about controlling how much of that power goes to the drivetrain
clutch for babies
@@KGwideangle Try to convince Billy Bolt that KG.
i rode it ...i love it
Will there be an enduro version of the bike? This looks very promising! Can't wait to get my hands on a Stark VARG!
The website shows that you can order an enduro specific model with size 18 wheels or whatever so yeah i guess
A tremendous video, especially the joke about "your nuts being safe".. Well done guys, the bike looks fantastic, my only fear is the cost!..

Awesome emx! Can't wait for a dual-sport road legal bike with this design! Hopefully I wont be too old when I can afford one in the future and ride it here in our city!
Love all the small details. The chain adjusters are awesome. The aesthetics are almost there.
Absolutely stunning machine, well done! Looking forward to a street legal supermoto version, keep up the great work!
Anton has created a truly auspicious product. I'm very much looking forward to this being my first bike and I hope to see it everywhere.
Really hoping dealers get behind this, as one big concern with any new brand is whether you can get parts locally when you need them. I get that you can always go to the manufacturer when there isn't a dealer locally, but that usually means a longer wait. Besides that, I for one am not that knowledgeable when it comes to electric vehicles, and this bike would be more attractive if it also came with a dealer network capable of handling technical support issues. I'm ready to jump in, but I'd like to talk to my dealer about this bike before pulling the trigger. My dealer sold the Alta and still sell the KTM Freeride-e. I'm convinced other brands will bring EVs to market in the coming years, but why wait? Considering everything this company has done in terms of innovation, patents, etc., I can't see the other brands improving on what this bike has to offer for a while. I hope the ride reviews on the bike will be positive ... one thing mentioned already is whether this bike will overheat with prolonged hard riding. Stark says no, but I'd like to hear that from an unbiased source. Other than that, I really can't find anything to complain about.
Clickers on the chain adjuster, what a brilliant idea! Congrats guys, really looks like you thought of everything!
6kwh in the battery will push a Tesla about 20-24 miles. If you equate petrol fuel economy of a YZ450 at full chat on an MX track, it uses similar fuel to a car so I’d reckon the battery range is nearer to 30 mins. Really hope I’m wrong and these bikes can do a GP distance even if they pegged the power back to say 60hp.
Would be great to see the old mx tracks open for business again and more places to ride.
30minutes if the track is not too muddy :D
Mxgp is 35 mins plus a lap.. So how you gonna go racing do practice.. Qualifying heats and 2 motos?
@@nathancrittenden8525 a 6kwh battery can be fully charged in 40minutes so that should be possible. I do t want to see petrol powered bikes gone any more than you do but at some point in the future, these electric mx bikes will dominate and be faster than a petrol bike!

I like the smell of VP racing gas and the sound of a 2 stroke braaaaaapp
Forever a smoker 💨
Yes
I think the coolest thing about this is the access to completely unusable power.
Almost all motor sports govern power to make the sport fair.
Imagine a sport that relies on technique, flow and finese, but gives the athletes access to silly amounts of power that they can control and manipulate at any time during a race at will.
Total game changer.
This is why MotoE and FormulaE are so much more exciting to drivers. The sport is so much faster and puts your hand-eye-coordination reaction to the test. Lewis Hamilton said he is joining FormulaE after his mercedes contract. A lot of MotoGP and AMA Pros are moving to MotoE in the past few years too.
Motorsport fans might not be completely ready for e-motorsports, but the drivers certainly love it..
Wow looks like a phenomenal product and great team. I wish them well
Awesome in all respects and finally, a modern dirt-bike that looks good!
Great job guys👏 It will be a game changer for sure in the near future, It seems very good for motocross riding but for hard enduro situations it is need some extra development... we are waiting for hard enduro edition 🧐

Had your guy at our track in the uk today. very impressed can’t wait 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
There's a lot of amazing engineering that went into this so many cool little details and especially the phone. I have a 2018 Alta mxr which essentially is the same exact battery as what's in this. Here's what I have a problem with this they are totally not telling the truth with battery life and range. If I ride my Alta in map 2 on single track I get about 17 miles tops and that's even being conservative with my riding. If I put it in map three or four and ride all out I probably wouldn't even get 10 miles. They said nothing in this video about having a swappable battery and that would be the only thing I would care about and if it's not that's very disappointing.
Yep the range claims are troublesome, this is a 6kwh pack, meaning it can deliver 6kw for an hour, let's say a moto gp heat is 40 minutes, the battery can deliver an average power of around 8kw for this duration, there is no way the average power output of a 450 during a gp heat is 8kw.
@@romteb agreed. Alta did the same thing on the range claims with their bike. They said it would get 8 hours on the trails and there's no way that's even in the realm of being close to true. Only if you rode it like 1 to 5 mph down a paved road haha.
@@romteb You got me thinking, so I went down a rabbit hole. Electric motors have high efficiency, somewhere in the high 90s percentage-wise, but for math sake we'll call it 100%. Gasoline motors are in the high 20s, low-mid 30s at absolute best; the rest is shed as heat. A gallon of gas according to Google has ~33kWh of energy. Multiply that by a rough 1/3 to simulate efficiency loss and that's about 11kWh per gallon utilized. At 6kWh, the battery has 54% the deliverable energy capacity of a gallon of gas. So yeah, in summary: also skeptical. Wish like hell they've figured something magical out though.
@@romteb 8kw = 11hp , doubt a 450 averages that over a 40 min moto. You are right, 6kwh will not last a full moto at race speeds.
But the man in the turtle neck said so!!
The tuning at your fingertips without to go buy a power commander is dope AF
Shame you didnt show some track footage that we could actually hear the bike. Cos lets face it, as much as the noise of a 2 or 4 stroke is its own worst enemy, nothing sounds better.
Listen to a washing machine drying cycle...it's pretty much the same 😖 Nothin an "engine sound" app and helmet headphones won't solve...
that whirling noise you head in the video.......that's the ACTUAL sound..
Man I'm pretty excited about something like this
This is close but You missed a mandatory element. Electric bikes must incorporate a clutch. You can spool energy in a flywheel and release it with the clutch in ways that are not possible with the throttle alone. Additionally, some situations it's easier to pull in a little clutch than it is to roll back the wrist.
i think you may not understand the torque that electric motors have. i encourage you to try an electric......anything ..... dont get me wrong im an I.C.E. guy but .... but a smart soldier has to know the enemy and damn electric shit is gettn better every year
@@jacobnewtron9635 I've ridden a couple good electric bikes. In fact, I bought my daughter a Kuberg Trials Hero. It's 3000w and pulls me around just fine. The torque is great on electric but the lack of a manual clutch is where they fall short. I'm sure it's fine for MX or flowy trails but the moment you get into a technical situation a manual clutch is a requirement. Like I stated above, you can release and remove energy in ways not possible with your wrist alone.
@@Eldon95084 3000w vs 8kw .... i think tuning the varg could give you the snap u desire. but after some reflection i feel you may be onto something, the flicking of the clutch and real time control /regulation has been inhierant to riding since there were engines. throttle is one thing but i now believe/agree with your point ty
@@Eldon95084 Some like yamaha e bikes have clutches, and you are right, my surron lbx even fully moded lacks a clutch for enduro and trial IMO

This looks amazing! Still one big question mark: how do you charge between motos? Bringing a big diesel generator doesn't sound like the environmental change we want. And clubs don't support power charge yet...
How many normal riders go through more than one tank of gas at each ride?
And how many woods riders ride for more than 6 hours?
If the claim of the batteries capacity is correct of course?
Hydrogen fuel cells by end of '22 is my guess
Surely you can use a 12v charger or perhaps have a spare battery
@@jackmasterdick The battery is 84v 84a = 6.3kwh. The best way would be to swap out the battery pack.
@@danielkarlsson608 I have an Alta mxr which basically has the same battery as this. This bike won't get more than 15 miles in the woods at race pace. Most hair scrambles are at least 30 miles.

TAKE MY MONEY!
There is a lot of debate on the safety concerning such low noise levels. Stark, i think it would be good for your team to come up with a solution. It doesn't need to make as much noise as a roaring 450 but it does need something so it can be heard a couple hundred meters away on trails so hikers and people on horses etc can hear us coming? Suggest a sound generated which is mapped to motor speed and emits a frequency which is not annoying or overly loud, but alerts people to it's presence? This feature should be incorporated in to all e-bikes. Lead the way Stark!
Hell no, keep it silent and just pay attention
The future is here.
Nope

Very promising, and well thought out. I don't know why the big manufacturers have chosen to ignore many of the improvements you guys have made. That being said, I will be waiting a few years for these bikes to be truely battle tested, and the inevitable flaws of any new bike to be changed.
I guarantee you a lot of the manufacturers are already working on electric motorcycles...
Amazing ingenuity and engineering in that bike. I'd buy one if I were spending some time racing at an mx track but, for an all-day ride in the hills, I'd need a bike I could refill in a minute and get going again.
