The Stark VARG is designed according to IP69K standards, meaning it’s fully waterproof. That means you no longer need to worry about river crossings. Just be aware that there is always a limit to how much water pressure certain seals can withstand. You can submerge your motorcycle, but not indefinitely. It’s not a submarine.
For cleaning, we recommend using a power washer. It’s good to use a chain cleaner and brush for scrubbing when cleaning the chain, followed by applying chain lube once the chain is dry. Here is a video on how to safely wash your Stark VARG: COMING SOON.
It’s not necessary as the Stark VARG phone display is also designed according to IP69K waterproof standards, but even so we do not recommend spraying the display unit directly with a power washer.

Just remove the charger cap and plug in the charger, everything else will happen automatically. A regular 120V/220V outlet like the standard household sockets can be used to charge your bike.
Rather than leaving your bike outside for a prolonged period we recommend that you store it inside, to mitigate the potential risk of aging or damage caused by extreme heat, cold or other weather conditions. We do not recommend permanently storing the bike at a temperature below 10°C (50ºF). If the temperature outdoors is below -2°C (28.4°F) or above +35°C (95°F) we recommend to keep the bike inside.
Please check your local regulations on registering off-road vehicles. For example in most states in the U.S. it is obligatory for Off-Highway Vehicles to be registered.

The Stark VARG is extremely easy to maintain thanks to the fact that it’s an electric motorcycle. We have purposely designed the motorcycle using only the highest quality materials and optimized our engineering in order to reduce the risk of damage. An electric vehicle is closer to a bicycle than a combustion engine motocross bike in terms of servicing. The powertrain should not require any regular maintenance, only the drivetrain, suspension and chassis will require normal service.
Please find video instructions on how to service your bike here: COMING SOON
See what the pros and motorcycle media have to say about the Stark VARG here.
https://starkfuture.com/lang/press-and-media
The Stark VARG’s power to weight ratio is on a completely different level to traditional gas bikes. The Stark VARG feels like a traditional motocross, but is easier to ride and control.
The Stark VARG is engineered around a game-changing electric drivetrain to maximize the riding performance. The completely adjustable riding modes mean you can do the same with one Stark VARG as you would with four or five different traditional combustion engine 50cc to 450cc bikes.
The Stark VARG can be ridden with the following dimensions:
Front
21 inch front Motocross wheel with various dimensions.
17 inch supermoto wheel with 3.5 inch rim.
Rear:
18 or 19 inch rear motocross wheel with various dimensions.
17 inch supermoto wheel with 5 inch rim.
Yes normally this should not be a problem. Please ensure that the studs are not touching the bottom of the fenders upon heavy landings, which will depend on your suspension settings, tires and stud choice.
The Stark VARG is a pure motocross bike and can also be used for back country exploring, quietly moving through nature at high speed without causing disturbance or pollution.
However, national regulations vary for off-road vehicles and so please follow your local regulations on which routes and trails permit access.
