In the absence of any other noise it seems worse for sure! It was a super-hot day too.

Hey, there's some of that kind of riding in the video if you look but good just requires a different technique. It creeps at slow speed over slippery rocks once you get to grips with it. There's a bit int he video where Eddie explains where I'm going wrong (sit on the bike and just use the throttle I think he says). It was just a matter of getting the different throttle technique dialled. Cheers, Jon.

Thanks for the message. Honestly, no. The weight distribution and balance of the Varg genuinely masks the extra kilos/lbs and it really doesn't feel different to ICE bikes. I've spent a lot of time on a YZ250 lately, plus have naturally spent a lot of time riding all kinds of bikes and it is easily comparable. The only time you notice the extra weight is when you are not on the bike and have to lift the back of the bike over out of a hole or bad root or ruts etc. Thanks, Jon.

W've written what we know on Enduro21 if you want to take a look at the website. Thanks.

That'd be great, yep. Stark, you listening to this?! 😅

Putting the stark on the road yourself is dead easy, and no different to any other off-road, self-build, or imported bike etc, like you would do with any MX bike: YZ, CR, KTM.MXC, or an import: SURON, ALTA, or Vector, by using the GOV V55/4 form and go through the needed steeps, Ie, Day time MOT, (no lights needed) and MSVA inspection. I along with others did ours Stark Varg's over the last year, and the total cost for road registration was about £205. and all the bike needs is a battery power horn, and lights if you want a full MOT, and a plate.

​@hardergamer Ah! Good to know, thank you!

Had worse days on a bike for sure!

No.

Everyone wants a clutch until they actually ride one. You would never use it trust me (I ride trials and hard enduro so I very very much value the clutch on combustion bikes, but i can tell you it would be completely redundant on electric bikes). Definitely get the rear brake on the handlebar though IMO

Hi, have you seen this Varg before? It's been around a while now. No, there is no clutch but I think the video shows how it is not a bad thing, just different. Be good to get another bike to test and really show the different technique. It's on the 'to do' list. 👍

Cheers.

I don't buy that for trail riding around the woods. Even when riding bicycles (the real ones, human powered) we run into issues and hate. Trails get blocked, destroyed and people call the police. The real advantage is you are less likely to be located. At least in Germany riding a motor powered vehicle in the woods is never going to be legal (Pedelecs are bicycles, officially, but technically also only allowed on official dirt roads in some place). That said it's a better solution for having some fun near home, no doubt. Looking forward to it.

Thanks 👍👍👍

why would you think so? 300 2t would pull your arms harder.

I have an 06YZ250 with apex head and Smartcarb SC2. Set up for enduro single track woods. What a blast. Ilove the YX250 powerband hit. But Im looking at the 2025 Sherco 300 to race enduro next season.

Agreed. The lack of change in the 2t engine is disappointing. The current engine is a good honest engine,, but it feels old now and it's heavy, with the heavy feeling old Adler spring clutch. Time for an update to match the 4t models. The rest of the frame and handling improvements are no doubt welcome but lost with the old donk.

We tried to smuggle a 250 out in our kit bag but it wouldn't fit! 😅
