Tucker Neary from Electric Cycle Rider does a first ride review and test ride with the new 2023 Stark Varg Electric Dirt Bike in the mountains of Colorado on some enduro trail riding.
Now I’m calling this a first ride, although, I technically did get to ride the pre production Stark Varg in Barcelona, but now the bike is here, on our turf in Colorado!

I'm really looking forward to all your videos on the Stark Varg. I'm scheduled for delivery in February 2024. I ride in very similar environments to you with perhaps a bit more higher speed sandy desert singletrack as well. Your comments on range and performance in enduro conditions will definitely be a deciding factor on moving forward with the purchase or not. I'll be happy with a realistic 25-35 mile range in enduro conditions.

@brianbush3247 11 месяцев назад

It's important to remember that electric motors are not adversly affected by altitude like a gas engine is, as the air density gets thinner. A gas engine that puts out 40HP at sea level is nowhere near as strong at 10,000'. Since I ride over 9K' regularly, I will be excited to get the full power from each respective setting. Looking forward to getting my Stark delivery in a couple of months.

@Darnder 11 месяцев назад

Just watch out for overheating, but this is a very cool application for high performance EV’s

@ih8momjokes1 11 месяцев назад

okay i can say the same thing for the negative affects of the cold temperature on a li ion battery which is far worse than the effects of altitude on a fuel injected motorcycle (which compensates btw thanks to an MAF sensor)

@Binford2500 11 месяцев назад

That’s true. N/A engines lose about 3% power per 1,000ft elevation. So about 30% reduction at 10k.

@MickH60 11 месяцев назад

@@ih8momjokes1 The cold temps don't effect performance, only run time and recharging on electric vehicles, and a MAF sensor can't restore lost power, it just helps it run well...Higher altitude = less air pressure = less oxygen = less fuel burning = less power.

@Kimsand520 11 месяцев назад

I have seem many videos of this bike on the mx track, but seeing this on trails without any engine sounds going from 0 to warp speed in 2 sec looks so insane. 80Hp looks too scary. I guess the 60Hp is like a 450mx bike on steroids. I would love to have one just to not having to do almost no maintenance.

@matthew3136 11 месяцев назад

I guess we might not all need the Alpha version. LOL. I think 60hp might be enough for me.

@ericdornfeld4848 11 месяцев назад

The reason just 40hp feels so amazing on a bike like this is because an electric motor can provide same torque across the entire RPM range, and in this case, speed as well!... On a 250f, you need can only get 40hp at 20mph, 30mph, 40mph etc.. Each gear has only ONE rpm that gives you 40hp. That's the wonder of an electic bike!

@mxoudi 11 месяцев назад

Thanks soo much for sharing! Cannot wait until mine arrives next month. Glad to see that it performs well in trails as well as MX. Sick video and congrats on the bike!

@TexRobNC 3 месяца назад

These things have basically "end game" power, like, in 10 years, I doubt we will have more power, because the bikes will be even lighter. They also seem to have great range/amp hours now, which was surprising. Imagine in a few years if they start really taking off, and then suddenly there are chargers at most tracks? These things are already pretty practical today, but are gonna be wild at a certain inflection point.

Great review, Tucker! The 2023 Stark Varg looks impressive, especially with that 6-hour range claim and 80hp power. 👏 While the Stark Varg seems like a solid choice for trail riding, I'd also recommend taking a look at the 2023 AdmitJet Armor if you're interested in electric dirt bikes. It has an impressive top speed of 80 MPH and a range of 100 miles on a single charge. The best part? It comes in at under $4000! 🌟

@cxge7884 9 месяцев назад

I would like to know how it performs at SLOW speed, for instance when you have to stop and resume in the middle of a steeper slope with a wet root, or some loose material, etc. The problem I have with electric bikes without a clutch so far is their underwhelming performance in that kind of situation: they spin too easily, hard to control the traction.

@adskiygamer 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, we need a proper hard enduro tests. Anyway, I don't think that it will perform good because control only on throttle isn't precise enough and isn't safe enough.

@notimetoexpIain 11 месяцев назад

I wonder if having the handlebar mounted brake would help with that as a sort of reverse clutch thing

@JoshStreetDesign 11 месяцев назад

You could literally crawl uphill at 1 mph with perfect stability on these. I have an Alta and it's the most controllable bike I've ever ridden among so many other things.

@adskiygamer 11 месяцев назад

@@JoshStreetDesign I mean, you can't be precise with only throttle in some awkward situations in hard enduro when you are hanging on a handle bar or bike is trying to fly away. And another thing, I don't think you can get as much instant torque from 0 power to full gas open as when you preload your flywheel and drop the clutch. There is some kind of delay anyway if the motor is standing still.
