Smith246 Added a reply to Stark Varg is just a Toy
10/16/2024 3:29pm I weigh around 95kg so I new this was going to increase battery usage a bit. I'm willing to accept my battery range given all my circumstances. If I could go out and get 20 mins solid at any hp and regen setting I wanted then I'd be ok with that. I would like longer because I hear these stories...

10/16/2024 7:12am Ha ha nah no lights on my track, and I live a fair way from Perth. But yes I will definitely try a battery full at a low regen setting, I'll try 55hp and 20% regen and see how that goes. Should be a good test of whether that makes a difference. Hopefully try tomorrow and will let you know.

10/16/2024 5:57am I'm not doubting where you ride is very sandy but there is absolutely no way I could get anywhere even close to 45mins. Stories like yours is why I was hoping my stark is faulty but it doesn't seem that way. The only person I know who owns a stark also bought one around the same time as me, he...

10/16/2024 5:22am Thanks for the feedback I will definitely try the less regen for sure. I am still not sold less regen will somehow gain me 50% more battery life. I hope it can help with the heating issue but. When you say perfect dirt what do you mean? I can see this lasting 30 mins in dirt like softish loam. I...

10/16/2024 5:15am Temp has been very mild at the moment so around mid 20°C, definitely not hot. Haven't had the chance to ride at a different track yet. I suspect riding on anything firmer will be no problem at all.

A variety of terrain. The group of blokes I ride with have Serious money, and own extensive properties, every one of them . I, being (somewhat) 'normal', am in a rather different financial level to them....... The Sand area has a variety of courses - One Long (around 3.3ks) , wide Open, whooped out, ultra fast - well, it is when ridden by ultra fast riders. One other track, around 1.8 ks - fast again. Then some tight twisty courses, with deep, , deep tight corners, that Really load a bike. Up from the river, it gets into typical Blue...

10/16/2024 3:12am No worries, apology accepted. I can live with the total run time I'm getting of around 20mins given my terrain. It's the fact it drops power if I use anything over 50hp that has me most disappointed. And I think the disappointment is worse because of how good the bike is to ride. There is no way I can criticise...

10/16/2024 3:02am Yeah the overall battery run time I guess I can live with given my terrain, obviously I would like more. Its being able to only go for 10 mins before power drop that is the main issue. On 50hp i got around 15 mins, broken into 2x 7 or 8 min rides. The power drop was alot less noticeable when...

Keep on at Stark if this doesn't get better for you. And, find / make contact with others in Sand Groper Land and see how they are going with theirs. There can always be anomalies with single bikes / batches of bikes. I've now got 7 ( or is it 8? - definately more to come If Leisky and Co pass on the discounts that I'm reading about on here) mates with them, and, have had plenty of riding on them. One of our practice tracks is Deep, Deep, near Bottomless River Sand, and None of the bikes have been...

10/16/2024 1:06am Thanks for your feedback. I'm still hoping there is something wrong with my bike but it's not looking like it unfortunately. How tight or wide open are the tracks you ride?
Smith246 Added a reply to Stark Varg is just a Toy
10/16/2024 1:02am Yeah just checked and it has the latest updates on the bike and in the app. From your previous post I would have loved to test rode one first but I live very remote and there is no one with Starks where I live. I have also done a few rides now with the same result. If I keep power...

10/16/2024 12:11am I did alot of research before my purchase and was under no illusion that deep sand wasnt going to be the best place for it. But alot of comments were as 8500rpm said above that they were getting 35-45 mins out of the battery and no comments of overheating. I was more than happy with this. But to only get...

Bend over there's about to be a train coming to prove you're wrong. That you're just another squid who doesn't know bike setup or how to ride. Choo choooo

10/15/2024 11:09pm If you are genuinely open to having an adult conversation and not throwing sarcastic comments my way I would honestly like to hear about your experience with your stark. I stated in my review that I am a B grade vet rider so very much your average joe. This is why I am a little shocked and disappointed in my...

I'll start by saying I'm not a lover or a hater of electric, I like everything motocross related and just like trying new things. I've always been curious to try the stark and...
