When Spain-based electric mobility brand Stark Future introduced its Varg model in December, 2021, the electric dirt bike seemed too good to be true. With 80 horsepower and 938 Newton-meters (691.8 pound-feet) of torque launching the 110-kilogram (242.5-pound) off doubles, it’s easy to see why skeptics approached the e-moto unicorn with caution.
Stark Future set out to silence the naysayers by inviting professional rider’s and the moto media to test the Varg in June, 2022. The praise was unanimous. Even the most ardent off-road riders applauded the e-motocrosser. Stark couldn’t capitalize on those accolades immediately, however, without units readily available to ship. That all changed on April 26, 2023, when the company announced shipping its first batch of Stark Varg’s (to customers that pre-ordered units in December, 2021).
