About opening up more riding areas. Conceptually, yes, it could open up new riding areas. But will running generators to recharge the Varg for an extended riding day just create the same noise issue? I know Honda generators are relatively quiet, but the generator the Stark rep used was pretty beefy.

Multiple charged batteries, swap them out and ride while charging.

The gay thing is at full charge

I’m a two stroke fan but these bike are very interesting!

32 minutes and battery is dead.

45 minutes of gas to charge a bike to ride for 45 minutes. Sorry I need a clutch to throw my tire. When they design a smart clutch box and allow me to set power levels in each gear that’s when I will buy into this.

If this is the future of professional racing the sport will die a slow death

Having tried some of these recently myself, I feel like if the Shoei fits you perfect, the Alpinstars just can't. They are so differently shaped that you would need to size up or down at one of them. However, The Shoei is so comfortable you could wear it as a all day Touring ADV Helmet. And that is something I have never sen before on a dirt helmet. (Maybe Arai to a degree) But I guess the Fly and Bell will have the best Airflow and that is so important when you need to stay focused on the trails.

Its a stepping stone. I would equate it to the Yamaha's first 4 stroke motocross bike. Look how far they have come today. This electric bike will evolve too and get better. Battery life and time to recharge is the biggest problem in my opinion.

😂😂😂😂 no noise or smoke,lol takes the excitement watching motocross no thx

Is it stiff though? It just looks that way maybe?

Woke bike

SV should put a clutch lever on there that electronically limits power level proportional to the amount the lever is pulled in. Also, a "shift lever" to change power settings on the fly with ur foot. 1 down, 5 up. NEAT! (don't forget the swappable battery packs and engine noises). W, Jeff Emig.

80 HP to one wheel is insanity

Ok , so you need a gas powered generator to charge it😅 So dumb.

Not tested - "tried on" is more like it. They aren't slippers - you have to break helmets to test them properly.

Hey kids start out every morning with a fat bowl. Emig Oats n Bran!

How long will that phone last flipping backwards down a hill in an induro?

Bell helmets are my go to I have the moto 9 flex very good cheek pads and no weird visor issues. Next helmet will be a Moto 10 for sure.

Can someone tell me the tire sizes on the dirt bike?

Ride for 15 min and go plug your bike in. This is why gas is still superior.

E bikes are not viable with current battery tech- imagine having to lug around a generator for a 30 minute race....silly. Also throttle control jitters and no clutch- no thanks. How much for a new battery? Safety of lithium batteries in a garage?!?

Incredible thanks Jeff. I appreciate your opinion

Incredible thanks Jeff. I appreciate your opinion when you think

Battery tech is changing and all this is just milking the tech for money. If the electric motor is lighter then 4 stroke. E bikes will be lightest eventually.

Hahaha!. I remember Rick Maki and Emig busting elbows at Indian Dunes!

Where can i cop that Miller gear?

They're testing th theory parting it out vs. selling out right to maximize profit...

7800

Total PROFIT will be $4,270

Thanks for the review Jeff! And thanks for your contributions to this great motorsport! Keep having fun bud, age is just a number!

Great review Jeff, I think this will be similar to what RC car racing is with nitro vs electric. Each class has pros and cons and their place too without having to combine them. 😊

What's the jam happenin here?.. you're obviously parting it out for $ but why not sell as a full bike? Are you planning to replace the expensive stuff with cheaper parts? Would leave you with a decent bike and pocket of cash🤷‍♂️

The phone is gay

Eso no es una MOTO!

i have a question wich is better ALPINESTARS S-M5 SOLID (188$) or FOX racing V1 (270$)

what a great place

It won't take long until riders are doing bigass jumps and changing modes while they're in the Air

Never to much hp. Oh ill ride it on 80ho mode wet dry dont matter.

Holy Bla Bla Bla and yup just like RCs limited battery life.👎

I have a shoei and bought a after market thicker pad to lift the helmet up. My goggles push on my nose, making it hard to breath. thicker pad helped with that.

It’s a beloved piece of junk electric crapper. No one waste your money on these they’re junk they’re horrible. There’s nothing good about them. Stop being a mud yuppie, fucking pussies and hop on a real man’s bike that has a gasoline motor. You’re fucking Democrats quit trying to fucking change shit we don’t want your electric junk.

My son has the 60 horse that’s the funniest bike I ever ridden. The 80 has to be insane

Can’t find first and calls himself a pro, PLEASE!!!!!

Maybe for short motos these things are ok but for woods riding the range is waaaay too short. We often do over 100 kms a day when we head out for a ride.

I have only one word to describe it: gay.

Still waiting on that bike giveaway
