Finally got a stark arg of my own.
This is just the beginning of the fun I'm going to have on this bike.

What’s been the most annoying is how so many KZfaqrs tip toe around the battery range topic like “I’m not giving any numbers until I can properly test it”…I applaud you for simply showing your ride and pointing at the damn screen at the end

@Dat_Sun 9 ай бұрын

That's not 80 horsepower, this bike is being exposed through snow bike kits as a sham. The battery is not up to the task maybe 20 horsepower constant. It is embarrassingly slow in the real world.

@antony.w.4790 9 ай бұрын

@@Dat_Sun Is there a test somewhere?

@Dat_Sun 9 ай бұрын

@@antony.w.4790 Test? Idk, but example yes. There is a snow bike channel here on yt. They took a new varg, put a small snow bike kit on it. The video clips show a 80hp varg struggling on hard packed snow. The guy who owns it said in his comments "Reality is, battery tech isn't there yet". Without the video example, I know the 80hp claim is false, it's a manufacturers ice equivalent hp rating, aka total bs like a Wal-Mart car audio amp 10,000 watt rating.

@Busy-B. 8 ай бұрын

@@Dat_Sun Modern batteries can lose up to 50% of their performance when they get extremely cold. Basing the hp of the Vark from a snow environment is not really "fair". It is a known problem for batteries and is to be expected, no one said that its perfect for everything. Its power should be measured at room temperature or higher if you want to compare it to manufacturer claims.

@bobdillon1138 4 ай бұрын

@@LolliWANG505 No more engine oil no more gas no more air filters no more plugs no more clutch plates and electric motors are lot more reliable just for the simple facts they have a lot less moving parts and produce much less heat than a two stroke and even less moving parts for four stroke gas engines so they will last longer and require much less maintenance.

Sick! I would love to try one of these...2-Stroke is my preference but really, I don't care what powers it, I can have fun on anything with wheels and a motor or engine. It would be a bit weird to watch a race with all electric bikes because of the relatively quiet operation, but we'll see if that time ever comes. It would be cool to see you out there for a SX or MX, but who knows if the other manufacturers will ever allow it.

I know racers are in way better shape so maybe a little charge during the day and I'm more than positive nobody will stop is day because the battery is empty.
