r/starkvarg

With competitors like Bonnell, they are differentiating their full size dirt bike offerings by adding swappable batteries which are great for competition use.

How feasible is swappable battery for Stark Varg? Will it take a complete redesign?

Hey everybody, so I just got a Stark Varg MX 1.0 (alpha), from this guy. The bike is in absolute amazing condition, however I can’t get it to charge or start up. The charger has 4 red blinking lights and 1 green (while using an extension cord) and the power button flashes red once i hold it down to try turn it on. Any suggestions or did anyone else have a similar problem?

Not that this video is indicative of such, but this was the tail end of a 4 hour ride that had a LOT of stuff that I had no business riding over, around, and up. I'm a novice dirt rider at best and when things got technical, I had no issues keeping up with my buddies on gas bikes who are way more experienced than me. Particularly in loose climbs where this thing just tractors up stuff at any speed, rpm, throttle input ya like. No feathering clutches, no breaking traction with the rear and losing momentum. You're always in the right "gear" always in the powerband and stalling? psht, never heard of her.

I ran it in 30hp mode which was plenty for enduro type riding and after 4 hours of nearly non stop riding, I came back to my truck with 56% battery. I'm well aware that at full tilt, 80hp the battery will drain pretty quickly, but when I'm out on techy single track I have ZERO range anxiety.

I love this bike.

I just ordered a stark varg and it said the delivery date would be 22 of may 2026 and then the email said estimated delivery date was 23 of July?

What does this mean and if the true delivery date is the 23rd of July how can they advertise "securing your delivery" (as in securing the 22 of may)?

Has anyone else had this problem? How fast is delivery normally.

For reference I bought an "in stock" mx 1.2 and I live in Solvang California

Recently spoke to someone who had a varg and I was immediately hooked and set on getting one issue is I don’t think I’m skilled enough to handle the instant throttle of it or would be able to keep the wheel down i ride a 72 v bike but this is a different type of torque … so should I get more experience on other bikes and work my way up or would I be comfortable on a varg ?

Hey everyone, I am going to be buying an EX sometime in the near future and have a quick question. Are there any positives/negatives to buying and having it shipped directly to your house as opposed to having it shipped to an authorized dealer? It just seems like having it shipped to a dealer is the better way because I have seen some horror stories about people receiving theirs damaged in shipping or receiving the wrong bike altogether. Also if something breaks and its still under warranty you have some place to take it. Thanks

Does anyone have one they wanna part with? My bike did not come with one, as I bought it from a dealer. I already lost my phone once due to my negligence of not locking it in fully. I’d rather click it in and leave it. Of course I’m willing to pay. Stark doesn’t sell just the bolt and wants me to buy a whole new docking station.

Never had electric but I've been real curious about the sm. I can't pull the trigger on something I haven't ridden though, at least not for 14k. Normal manufacturers have demo at dealers. Does Stark do that? I'm not worried about handling it I have an mt09 and grew up on mx bikes. I like rowdy, trying to kill you power.

Took delivery of my SM a few days ago. No charger. Stark support just said

> You are currently, as informed by Parts, in the list of the priorities of the customers to which Stark needs to ship the portable charger. Our Logistics Team is actively working on this and as soon as your charger is shipped, you will be notified.

Based on the time it took me to get my bike (ordered in December, received May 6th) it looks like I could have a bike sized paperweight for months?

Does any one have experience with getting a stark varg mx1.0 /mx.1.2 street legal in the eu (Poland)?

have a warranty claim to get the battery/inverter swapped out for new but everyone I call that's on the Stark approved list is telling me they straight up won't do it. Any ideas? thanks in advance
