Riding My Brand NEW Stark Varg at 80HP! Is THIS The Future of Motocross? 

Is electric the future of the motocross?

You are actually a very good rider. And you are humble. You are the perfect guy to do these videos and introduce people into the new Era of motocross. Just good old authentic fun. Very refreshing, thank you, keep up the good work.

what i like about e-bikes, Is that once you rid your head from the clutch and gears thoughts, there is room for a smoother and funner riding experience. As an ex desert racer my favorite feature is variable regen (stark doesnt have) I dont even have a rear brake and regen 10hp before the wheel locks.

If you had an electric F-150 for example, you could charge the Stark from the truck battery and keep having fun all day long. Grate video, I Love the way you ride.

That thing is absolutely insane. And That camera angle allows us to see how fast your rippin.

Thats the best best footage and most accurate depiction of the speed of these things in track . Thst looked insanely fast e crosser 💪

I just saw 3 of these racing at UK arena cross and 1 won the championship despite being tuned down. Amazing bikes . I’m not sure mixing classes works though as electric is clearly superior in many races and limiting them is only an approximation. Think they should run their own classes at events and run higher power for shorter races .

What's cool about e-bikes is if you live on a few acres and have neighbors you could still have a track in your backyard without annoying them with noise.

Still have a love for the sound of a two stroke !

you can literally feel the torque

Having the POV helps put into perspective how fast it is, absolutely ripping. Are you glad you went with the rear brake at your foot? The one I rode it had it at my left hand and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would

I love the ad you made with Oakley

bro that thing is sick

Man this thing is quick, sick riding dude

this really puts into perspective how awesome these things are, normally im not the biggest electric bike fan, but this video shows the true potential of the bike and what is possible with it currently. I have one question about it, what is the difference between the Varg and a 450, with the Varg being on the setting you rode the track on in the video.

Nick, since it doesn’t need a spark arrestor…. How long until we see you doing some MI trail riding!?!?! 🤣👍

I've had my stark varg for a month now. These bikes are mental! They're brutal in Enduro too. Hoping the snow goes away around here fast.

I want one! I recently bought an electric dirtbike with a 4 speed transmission and a clutch. Tons of torque I dont really need the clutch because I mostly just ride it in second gear.

Only thing I’m slightly disappointed with is the battery life but other than that the bike is incredible. Sick riding man🤙

They really are amazing but it’s so hard to substitute that amazing gas engine sound with a turbo charged vacuum.

this is 1 of my favorite yt vids ever seriously i love the bike and seeing you ride it is so satisfying

its so nice to see an electric dirtbike that looks so good tbh!

I could care less if this is the future of motocross or not. It has a place in the market simply because of the torque. Different animal,not better just different.

Bro you were HAULING on that thing, you are an amazing rider!

Wow. You were flying!!!! Insane speed, what lap times do you get compared to your gas bike? I guess you need to revalve the suspension? Keep those Stark videos coming pls!

Stop hating on the STARK VARG she is a beast an yes i will take that over a 450 😮

Straight shreddin brother. Wish I had knees still😢

With interchangeable battery packs, absolutely the future

Nice vid! I love the stark! it builds your confidence fast, great in the air, is mental fast and grips the ground like you are riding on sealed road. Would love one to add to my collection

I own an electric KTM and very happy with it (despite of the fact I Own some crazy 2T bikes). Waiting for Stark or another brand to sell a legal high power enduro bike (lghts, etc) as the KTM.

would love to see the outside view more when you do cool things

Bro is literally the Stig 😂😂😂

didn't know I was sitting across from bro in Detroit wild never thought bro was a Michigander

I would pay to see you ride a public track on this bike 😂😂😂

U dont care what others think cause u know its superior. Look, it either needs gas or a charge. For those that flat out hate on it just do because they will likely never have an extra 12 Gs is it? Maybe even more. But don’t hate cause u don’t have - cause u can’t hate something u never tried

Very kewl 👍 I got my first dirt bike of many in the 1970s (read: old guy). I was wondering at 80 hp how does the center of gravity feel since the electrical engine doesn’t have the forward mechanical parts moving you have on a big dirt bike. Looks amazing! Congratulations !

NO. TWO SMOKE FOREVER!!!!!

How do you keep your bikes so clean? White plastic are very hard to keep clean.

Hot swap modular batteries would be the way to go with this bike. 1 battery in the bike, 1 on charge. It would be unstoppable.

Its like dancing to your favorite song without hearing the music

2.20.24 Nick, are you going to do some MX and SX racing up against the 450 when the weather changes? What class would you be riding?

They should also take any jumps whoops and corners out of the track because that would be easier too. Maybe have the bikes race in a straight line without riders like an rc car. That would be a great improvement

Man that bike is quick!!! I really want one and can't wait to see it run w the 450' s. Oh and you seem pretty quick as well.

bike is so damn sick. sold on it

Best ride for…, 18 minutes… then limp mode… then 3-4 hour charge time…great investment….

Love the Oakley ad!!!! Congrats.. 🥳

A hybrid 2T would be badass. EV bottom end then let the engine take over when the pipe is happy. It would bring the two worlds together....Or just piss everyone off. But seriously I don't think it would be any heavier than a four stroke.

This video just makes me want one even more.

Is there an acutual break in period for the bike, or are you meaning that you are getting used to it, and will adjust it? While I've not bought a new MX bike in a LONG time, I recall the break in period was so painful to be riding the latest bike and having to all but roll around for a few rides.

I want one! They look sick seems like a lot of fun

I definitely want one to trail with, perfect platform

the fact you can ride and not cause a bunch of noise is so f'n interesting One of the biggest issue with bikes outside of a track is the noise I still think "battery" wont be the future of EV because imagine starting your car without a alternator, what happens? So why has "battery" taken the EV market when they really need to work on regen\generating power as vehicles are moving But I would still buy one of these bikes lol Thanks for sharing

It’s funny every one seems to say it’s got way more than a 450 and there’s only a hand full that can ride one of those I think for the average punter probably not the go

Just think,with e bikes,you can run races in cities at nite,no sound issues

EV seems fast but the sound of gas and shifting is more fun.

That’s awesome but sometimes you’re just gonna wanna ride some more. How much is the second battery?

I got to figure out how to get over the fear of doing wheelies.

How long does the battery last at full power? Then how long to fully charge?

I don’t think that it will replace motocross but I think it will have its own electric division ❤❤😊

i seen one of your jump to wheelie clips on daily dose of internet

What will be hilarious is when you have a full series of electric bikes that are at a track racing for the weekend, and their batteries being charged by gas powered generators for fear of overloading the grid that evening else is connected too. Rolling brown outs for track days. Who’s on board?? Ridiculous.

Great video, great riding, great bike performance..... But...... I can't, I just can't with the electric. I choose to remain an old 2-stroke soul for life!

So what’s that like…going freeway speeds on a sand track with 80hp??? 🤘

thats hardcore fast

The industry will have to do something regarding the sound as that is part of the experience. It needs to emulate the sound of a gas powered motorcycle. Could you imagine going to watch a Supercross without the sound of the bikes?

How does it feel in terms of stability? I'm curious if removing the gyroscopic effect of the petrol engines rotating mass is noticeable? It seems just a bit less composed in the air, though that could be down to the rides themselves

The technology isn't anywhere near replacing combustion engines but they do look fun.

Stark Varg in Swedish would translate to Strong Wolf. Makes sense…

Well if i want to pay more for an electric bike that i cant play ride on for about 2 maybe 3 hours, which means all day rides are out or even back country riding an worry about it possibly catching fire while charging or even massive overheating while riding.. I know stark an a lot of people are pushing an paying a lot of people big money to say what they want about these things.. but ive seen plenty of reviews by enough people already that show 1. They're not real dependable 2. They dont last long charging wise 3. An aren't cost efficient 4. Can be dangerous because of the battery that if exploded will cause more damage to the environment than gas ever could, cause the fumes are deadly an will kill you! I think ill stick with my 2 or 4 stroke❤❤❤ but great riding man! Dont let money change your opinion from your 1st videos ive seen with you riding these..

I get its fast and the battery tech is getting good... dirtbiking just wouldnt be it without the engine. The smell, the vibration, the powerband, irreplacable and i do hate the sound of electric motors. Fun but a way differsnt kind id think.

Gotta say you rode the hell outta that thing

You should come out to hardy dam Mx it is really close to there and it isn’t really a sand track and kind of in the woods

Hope this is not the future of mx sure would miss the smell and noise

$13,000... it might be the future, but not anytime soon lol

On Dyno; with electric motor when you start(GAZ) full throttle, like of any kind of motor need to work against enertia; ...at this time, amps, watts up fast, when u obtain the peak, maybe you can read near your 80Hp the time duration of this curve not more then a seconde you CAN'T feel that it's verry fast up and down, down to +-6.7hp in continue that is your real HP🙂😉

**Angry vacuum cleaner noises**

Nice bike bro!! What suspension weight setting you end up buying from Stark?? I know you go big! My guess stiffer than average Joes. Like Supercross stiff.

Do they allow electric bikes to race with the gassers in ama yet?

Awesome video you were rippin on that bike

Still love me a good ol 2 stroke screaming.

Would you consider getting a 2 stroke to add to the channel?

What’s it like popping a wheelie on that thing??

try a few laps with engine brake turned off - think U will like it

Fast as hell!!!!

I wonder who'll be the first person to distance jump one Nick... Wink wink

Full battery 🔋 on 80hp. Nuts

What about the hand rear break? Tried it? Sick vid

Awesome video! Which sunglasses are those?

Clifden gang!!

That was epic 🔥

great video, make me wanna try one

Seems ot me this thing has alot of traction even when u put the hp maxed? :O

How often do you need to do a piston on thoes things 🤔

what camera do u use?

Man I wish are gas 450 had had that much hp

That's fast

Good video 🙂🇸🇪👋👍

Would it last a race ,a moto,multiole motos ?

I find on electric bikes, your concentration levels at a higher spectrum

damn. i want one, just by watching yes, electric is the future.. but not with lithium ion batteries. currently we have nothing better then those but they die 100% of the time because of lithium dendrites. ill wait till somebody took that nobel prize by bringing us the "the next" battery type that surpasses lithium
