What’s been the most annoying is how so many KZreadrs 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

Same. Finally someone just being out right honest about it.

Bro you were RIPPING THIS THING. I'm amazed that you were hauling ass for an hour and 15 minutes on FULL 80HP MODE and still had battery life left!!! SICK VIDEO AND THAN KYOU FOR SHARING!!

That track is like DH meets moto! Look forward to hearing more about the bike!

NARLY BRO !!! Just freakin NARLY !! can’t wait to watch more of your videos on that thing !! Thanks for sharing Josh !!

Can't wait to see what you'll do with the varg, keep it up brother

You are a true innovator Josh. I've been a fan since the first time you wrote a 450. I wish you could have killed it in racing. Mad respect for your efforts, and very happy for how things turned out for you overall

I just love these things. No noisy combustion 'middle man' barking irrelevant stuff like 'how many revs' or 'which gear'. Just telepathic control.

Insane track, footage and driver skill. Very impressive. Greetings from Sweden, home of the Stark Varg

Alright now im impressed. Thats a decent battery life.

Awesome video! Love how quiet it is in the woods!

Damn son that things radically insane for a electric bike!! Can’t wait to see what else you’ll bring us w this Varg beast of a bike

Hey huge congratulations on making SMX top 20. Will be awesome to be able to cheer for you and Justin in SMX playoffs as well as WSX. All the best!!!

You make every bike look good josh!

What a track and what an even better rider!!! Well done bro absolutely awesome 👌

Unbelievable, I can only dream of riding like that! 😮. The Stark is impressive too!

Awesome. Thank you for sharing, can’t wait til these really take off

Thats dope. You make it look easy to ride. Reminds me of dh mtb where you glide up to jumps and the tire noise. Sick!

Your photo does come on every Varg phone. Super rad!

Congratulations on your new bike 🎉 love the feeling of unboxing a new dirt bike, the feeling you get when you think of all the opportunities and things you can get up to when you get something new is awesome 😂 ride safe

@@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.

Insane that you're able to handle 80hp like its normal 😂. 80hp is batshit crazy for us mere mortals! On hardpacked 65hp is excessive for me haha. Stoked you finally got yours. Cant wait to see the crazy shit you do with it. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

@@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.

​@@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.

Josh, thanks for the great vlog! 👌 But now I'm going to have to get back on the track, ffs! 😂

I have an order placed for 1 when they land in the UK, I can't wait but around 6 month's I believe 🤞 this vid has got me so excited 😆 👍

Best all around free rider anywhere. You kill it Josh.

Unreal Riding!!! That bike is amazing!!

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.

Smooth operator Radio voice at the end was on point 😎 🎙

My Goodness Josh. What a treat to watch, my B-Hole was puckered water tight watching just on my phone.

So cool see it ridden hard by an awsome rider

Ohhh myyy god. Fantastic. That track is insane :)

Wow, that's impressive power over time for an E bike. Sick track too wtf!

Bro this fucking track setup is insane! Love it!

It seems like someone needs to try a push button regen, and then you can map how that button rolls in and out, or even use a lever for it like a brake. I think there is some innovation to be made still, especially considering everyone talks about not having to shift, no clutch, etc.

That track is awesome

you are amazing rider on this stark dude! at the first i was sure its some kind of a game on PC :DDDD

Crazy impressive 🙌👏🙌

Straight up shredding!

Nice to see battery life seems more than enough for the average rider! The hour meter of my SXF350 sometimes pass an hour of track riding, my best was something like 1.5 hour. My friends and I are usualy tired at this stage. 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.
