After briefly riding one, the power basically feels like what an absolutely maxed out combustion engine would be capable of, except without any of the cost of that or risk of blowing it up. I guess theoretically its not faster than the best of the best combustion engine bikes, but I do think it's extremely good value and will upset a lot of people that dont have one

Adrien Goguet ran the stark in the french supermoto championship last year at villars sous écots and seems like the main issue was traction. There's a short video of it floating around on youtube and a french article on the insane-parts website.The way the electric motor delivers its power it can quickly overwhelm the rear tyre from what I gathered if you're not managing throttle, though I imagine if you had proper acces to the control unit you could tune that in such a way that the power comes on more smoothly even in the full power mode the bike offers. From what I recall they ran the bike in a 55hp setting on tarmac and 35 hp in the dirt to make it work. I can see that thing being a weapon on faster tracks where grip is less of an issue. But trying to put down 80hp on a tighter track with an offroad section where you have to deal with dirty tyres on top pf that things could get dicy quick I think. Nice build nevertheless!

@MikeonBikes 3 ай бұрын

It appears stark must have done a lot of work with the power delivery since then. The firmware has been updated a couple of times since then. My bike at 80hp mode is not uncontrollable. Does require more throttle control than on the KTM, but not impossible. Even on tight tracks, with dirt. I have the same laptimes on those tracks with this bike as my KTM 450 SMR.

Don’t know yet, no temperature gauge is available yet. The battery is lukewarm coming off the track, guessing maybe 30-35C. The engine is blazing hot, you can’t even touch it with your hand. Based on this, maybe motor, maybe controller. Will figure it out eventually.

@davidr6386 3 ай бұрын

Do you reckon the engine brake management is good enough to allow backing in as with shift down on ICE engine? I know sliding has phased out of the riding style nowadays, but for a recreational ride like me (FS450) that is part of the fun 😊 is it feasible on that machine or the Electric dictates a smooth clean riding with no slide on braking phases? (I would slide on throttle no doubts 😂) Thank you for your input! Great video! Greetings from down under!

@MikeonBikes 3 ай бұрын

Currently the re-gen braking is not good enough at higher settings, 70%+, to work well for backing it in. The rear starts bouncing or feels choppy when using too much re-gen. Lower settings for re-gen, like 35%, and a lot of rear brake application does the trick though.

@MemphisMG86 3 ай бұрын

i don't understand the last “tip”. why shouldn't this be a TRAINING bike? yes ok just limit it to 60ps as mentioned in the video then you just ride in 60ps mode (apart from the fact that the torque is still higher than that of a 60ps combustion engine). and thus learn to ride CLEAN if you want to be faster. alternatively you can also test with 65-70ps how long the cooling can take it and maybe in +/- 30min that is enough to get the moped cool enough for the next training turn. as you said, 60ps can apparently last in your racepace, so there's nothing to be said against a training mode!

The speed an electric motorcycle or cargoes is simply a function of the battery's discharge capabilities. If you ride hard as a rule, you destroy batteries. Are they faster. For a minute. Then they catch fire. Or the battery goes dead. They are not ready.

That’s all good; neither 2-strokes or 4-strokes will magically disappear because electric bikes are now highly competitive. It will take even longer before electric bikes become really mainstream and all top shelf racing will be electric. I’m guesstimating 5-10 years for that to happen. Electric does have the major benefit of allowing tracks in the middle of big cities, indoors and in people’s backyards with the neighbors not complaining.
