Newcomer from Spain, Stark Future has introduced the Stark Varg electric motocross motorcycle (e-bike). Orders are being taken online with deliveries expected in September 2022. As can be seen, the Varg is styled much like the typical motorcrosser with the exception of electric drive. Charge is stored in a 6 kWh battery pack and the electric motor delivers the equivalent of 80 hp and 938 Nm of torque.
Compared to the “normal” motocross bikes,
Stark claims the Varg produces 30% more horsepower than the equivalent 450 cc
single-cylinder and the whole package weighs in at only 110 kg. If this sounds scary the
amount of power and delivery can be regulated with an app. Stark claims filling
the battery to full charge take between one to two hours depending on the type
of charger. From the specification sheet, Stark says this is enough for the
Varg to run a full MXGP race or six hours of trail riding.
The battery compartment on the Varg is
used as a stressed structural member, making the frame 50% lighter than current
motocross bike frames, but with the same strength. Suspension is done by
Kayaba, with 310 mm of suspension travel in the front forks. Pricing for the
Stark Varg is USD 11,900 and buyers can specify options such as rear
wheel, 60 or 80 hp power rating, suspension according to rider weight, type of
rear brake, side stand and body colours.
