Very cool! Thanks for the upload on Thanksgiving!

The bike going into limp mode at 20% is a no go, bringing a generator that burns GAS to power the charging stand. Bike is 6 grand more than a new 4 stroke. It weighs 40 pounds more. A replacement battery cost as much as a nice 2 year old used 4 stroke. Not to mention, you can't work on it yourself. If anything goes wrong. I just dont see how they are the future? The sport is already expensive.

Batteries are like 7g so good luck on that

When the sounds and smells of high octane fuel and 2 stroke oil are gone, replaced by the sound of nothing and the smells of frying lithium batteries, I'm out. I've been a racer, a rider and a fan of all things dirt bike sense the 1960's , but when the EV's take over, and they will, I'll be done. I'm old school, and not ashamed.

Happy Thanksgiving Donn and crew

You need to put a door chime on that thing to let everyone know you're there.😅

I routinely trail ride mine at 20 and 30hp not only extend the battery, but to work in carrying momentum. So I would have started at 55hp and then once clear and in the hills went to 25 or 30hp. But the reality is, the Varg is not a replacement to my gas bikes, but an awesome addition for the purpose I bought it for. And that is stealthy trail rides around my house and for the motocross track. In fact, I raced it in Moto a few weeks ago and got zero arm pump for the first time ever. Not sure if it was the bike or the ease of the throttle or what But I never get arm pump when I ride that thing and it’s interesting. I’ll have to do some back-to-back tests with my 450. I did notice last time I rode my 450 my right hand goes numb from the vibration and my neck and nerve issues. But it doesn’t happen on Stark. But anyway like I said, it’s just an awesome addition to my gas. Motorcycle it is not a replacement. And it is by far one of the most fun bikes I’ve ever ridden probably just because it’s different.

[@chadmills5400]

@Swapmoto Live Try 40 hp the whole race and maybe 45-50 hp for the start to first hill climb only. Some people say that 40hp is the most usable power for a tire that size. Since that Stark Varg weighs 20lbs more, maybe 43hp would be the ideal limit for the entire race.

[@StayTunedMoto]

Gotta have the sounds of real motocross racing thats half the fun. I see why battery bikes are fun and maybe the future but it will never replace the hard core sounds of gate dropping supercross, motocross and gncc etc especially at these events in person.

[@Joe-pb3lx]

This is like a New England Jday race but in the desert

[@zeusruger3588]

hahaha that holeshot!

[@stevesmith756]

My buddy has a stark. Its soooo irritating. He has to throw it on a generator every time he comes off the track to keep the charge up.

[@andystreet339]

#holeshot

[@Gmoney_72]

My typical response is “throw a match in the gas tank and walk away” I wouldn’t waste the match on that thing. I’ll ask Dommer to kick it over when he sees it.

[@ssse3123]

It doesn't have a gas tank 😅

[@lway8545]

They definitely cant finsh a hare scramble, not even close. They should just use a gas motor to power the electric transmission because its not an engine its a transmission, the battery is the engine of the e drive
