Enduro Riding - Stark Range Series

Stark Range Series - VARG 1 - 6.5 kWh - Enduro - 48HP - 50% Regenerative Braking

In this episode, we ride Taddy Blazusiak's local enduro loops to explore the maximum riding times we can extract from one battery charge.

Our 3 riders are each of a different skill level - providing you a sense of relatability and comparison point to your own riding ability.

Pro rider and Enduro legend - Taddy Blazusiak.
Amateur Rider - Enduro enthusiast and Stark CTO Paul Soucy.
Beginner Rider - Benjamin Cobb.

Watching the pro ride is insane... he FLOATS over that rocky section. Where-as everyone else has to literally get off and manhandle the bike... that's a great example of skill

Transparency is everything! This scored a lot of points in the way I view Stark Future. Way to go!
Keep building great machines! I hope the next gen Li-ion batteries don't take too long to arrive 🤞

Crazy how much more battery pros use than your average rider. 80% of riders could do a 2 hour hare scramble on these, but a lot won't since you don't see pros doing it.

Ex-mountain biker... 56 years old, never rode Moto... thinking hard on a e-moto/cross/enduro bike... this was an amazing video to capture the range of beginner/amateur riders... and, that Pro was killing it. Thank you for the video and sharing.

The Bike has plenty of range for regular riders. 2 plus hours of riding is really more like a four hour ride with your friends when you consider stopping for the views, water, talking, etc. I ride mine on single track and easily get three hours or more of ride time, and I'm totally sacked when I'm done. Where the range wouldn't be amazing would be wide open desert runs or road riding to get between trails. You can get about 40 miles of riding easily, which is a lot of single track riding. I bring a 120V generator camping, and with that you can easily extend the range a lot while you eat lunch or take a break. I usually don't bother bringing the generator on day trips because range hasn't been an issue for me.

When Stark releases a Street Legal version of the Varg I'm definitely buying 1!

[Tim]

Absolutely love the stark, no complaints at all on my end 🤘

[blbills]

Sure love mine! Just did a 43.5 mile fairly gnarly loop in Moab with battery to spare.

[enduroacademy]

This, indeed is the future! You are lucky to be one of the first to do this, and so far doing great! Keep pushin"!

[Jamminn]

Fantastic on all levels. Including showing the pro, amateur and beginner footage. The Varg looks incredible. Thanks for posting, gents. Benjamin

Dream bike right here. Looks like a blast to ride! 🤙

[nishgriff]

I like this video, it shows the reality of how most of us ride!!! Good idea to compare range with different riding levels.

You guys make the best dirt bike vids on YT right now

Looking forward to a range test with less extreme/technical/hard enduro riding, which benefits the clock on how long a batter lasts. For recreational riders, many more ride flowy single track and 50" wide forest service roads vs putting themselves through hard enduro sections. Those flowy and simple trail riding will mean higher average speeds, of course, which may mean lower range, but curious to see what type of range can be had for that terrain as we often to family and friends rides and ride anywhere from 30 to 55 miles of easy going mountain trails and roads.

Really interested about this amazing bike congratulations Stark futur 👏👏.
But don’t think the range will be enough for my use. Last trip was 50km and I had to come back otherwise it would have been 60/70 km. I hope they will be a long range version or with new technology of batteries like solid ones.

[fernando_dominguez]

Love what you guys are doing keep it up! Think it's not quite there for Hard Enduro due to the longer rides but I don't doubt it will get there. Cheers🎉

The beginner rider is the more realistic version of a typical ride as when riding in a small group, we usually stop for a quick break every 30 minutes or so. I have approx 30km or single track and gnarly hard enduro terrain on my property, and I can tell you as an intermediate A level rider. that riding here in small group of 5 or 10, typical ride day or evening involves us riding for 2-3 hours with a total time out of 3-4 hours. We are usually pretty cooked after that, and I have yet to kill the battery down to even 25 percent. Just got a blue street plate for mine. Can't wait to do some Zaap-zaaps on the back wheel down to the supermarket !!!

When Solid State Li batteries are available these bikes will be insane

[Madnesswillensure]

Cannot believe the turtleneck swede pulled it off. Saw one in the flesh yesterday and they are super nice. Hotswap rims, lights and plates. Sold.
