Looking for something....electric

[typeone]

Nice! Once we've all got our toys we'll have to get together for a NEER (New England Electric Riders) hangout. Put my deposit down today, and am doubling down on suggesting MotorBikes Plus if you're near Portsmouth and getting a Stark or KTM group e-bike. Now I get to wait for theoretically 8 to 10 weeks... meh.

congrats, man! super stoked for you, that's going to be one badass 'dirt' bike. not sure if you saw the demo day Motorsport Int had at 508 but i think every test rider was super impressed.

i tried to buy a bike or two from MotorBikes Plus but never worked out. seem like a good shop.

Found my French counterpart.

All that and no actual footage of racing/riding on track?

Yup, Josh's french counterpart, lol.

Hah, I did see he's commented on FB that he was burning about 50% battery at 35hp on a 20min race? Not looking good for a Varg at Loudon with those numbers.

My son's only 5 months and I'm already stoked for dirtE bike shopping for the two of us... Clinton, hit me up when your son outgrows the KTM and you're no longer riding the Explorer.

If there's one thing the Italians do right, it's electronics.........................................................

... Jokes aside, there isn't a single country or company that I don't hope succeeds in the alternative power source vehicle market.

with the pace at which everything is getting better it seems to be a timing thing for when to jump in...i'm not ready yet but i like how things are progressing

i know it will be too early, but i'm assuming we'll only get this season out of the SX-E 5 then up for sale.

Promising for short track!

Are those pros? Looks so amatuerish.

First timestamp is the 'B' group, the Varg rider transferred to the back of the 'A' group for their final race of the weekend in the second timestamp, where he got 17 out of 18. The A group pace at the front was a solid 5 to 6 seconds a lap quicker than what he was putting down. I'll admit some delusions of grandeur thinking I could potentially have put up a fight on my 150SX in the B race... the dirt looked way less technical than Boxshop.

[TheIglu]

Was he in the 35hp club, or big boy pants club?

[Kurlon]

Racing full on four fiddys. No details on setup, power mode, etc though.

[TheIglu]

Didn't look like 80hp, but might be traction limited.

Didn't look like 80hp, but might be traction limited.

The few examples I've read so far show most aren't actually using the 80hp setting typically, one rider is noted at using 56hp on pavement but dropping to a 36hp map for dirt for more control. A different racer is using 80hp on pavement, 60hp in the dirt (again, for better finesse), feels the bike is about equal to the 450s, maybe 'a bit' faster, stock gearing. (14/48 if shipped with a 19" rear, 13/48 if shipped with an 18") Universally, everyone wants Stark to offer the throttle response curve adjustment promised when first advertising the bikes.

This is progressing faster than anticipated: Email from Stark, my VARG is in the US, dealer should have it in 5 to 7 days.

Congrats!!
