It’s the most hyped electric dirt bike in history. We’re cutting through the noise with a complete technical breakdown, answering every question from top speed and weight to voltage and cost.
Every so often, a product arrives that doesn’t just enter a market—it fundamentally redefines it. The Stark Varg is one of those products. When it was announced, its specifications seemed like science fiction: 80 horsepower, a weight comparable to a 450cc gas bike, and a level of customization that the motocross world had never seen.
But is the hype real? Can a battery-powered machine truly compete with, and even surpass, the best gas bikes on the planet?
At Vecharged, we analyze the engineering, not just the marketing. This is our definitive analysis of the Stark Varg. We will go beyond a simple review and answer every technical question you have, providing the clarity you need to understand if this is the future of off-road performance.
The Core of the Revolution: Power & Control
The magic of the Varg isn’t just that it’s electric; it’s how it uses that electric power.
1. The Power is Unprecedented: The headline figure is 80 horsepower, a number that puts it above even the most powerful 450cc motocross bikes. But the real story is the 938 Nm of torque at the rear wheel. Unlike a gas engine that needs to build revs, the Varg delivers this immense torque the instant you touch the throttle. It’s a “digital” power delivery—a direct, telepathic connection between your wrist and the rear wheel.
2. The “Brain”: A Tuner’s Dream: The Varg’s most revolutionary feature might be its Android-powered dashboard. Through the app, you can create over 100 personalized ride modes, adjusting three key parameters:
Power Curve: Make the bike feel like a gentle 125cc two-stroke or a fire-breathing 650cc four-stroke.
Engine Braking: Dial in the amount of regenerative braking to mimic the feel of a gas bike or allow for more “freewheeling.”
Flywheel Effect: Adjust the “inertia” of the motor to make it feel snappy and responsive or smooth and stable.

The Question You’re Asking
The No-Nonsense Vecharged Answer
How much horsepower (hp) does it have?
Up to 80 hp. It’s also available in a 60 hp configuration.
How much torque does it have?
A staggering 938 Nm at the rear wheel.
How fast does it go? (Top Speed)
The top speed is approximately 70 mph (112 km/h), but its acceleration is the real story.
How many kilowatts (kW) is it?
The 80hp version is a 60 kW peak motor. The 60hp version is a 45 kW peak motor.
It runs on a high-performance 360-volt (nominal) system.
How long does the battery last?
The 6.5 kWh battery can last for up to 6 hours of easy trail riding or a full, intense moto at a motocross track.
What is the range?
Range is highly dependent on riding style, but it’s comparable to a full tank of gas on a 450cc motocross bike.
How much does the Stark Varg weigh?
It weighs 242 lbs (110 kg), fully charged. This is directly competitive with a 450cc gas bike.
How much does the Stark Varg cost?
The 80hp model costs approximately 13,900 USD.The 60hp model is 13,900 USD.The 60hp model is12,900 USD.
Where is the Stark Varg made?
The company was founded in Sweden, but the bikes are developed and assembled in Barcelona, Spain.
Who Should Buy the Stark Varg? (And Who Shouldn’t)
This is a professional-grade machine, and it’s not for everyone.
This bike is the perfect choice for:
The Serious Motocross Racer: This is a no-compromise race bike. It has the power, suspension, and chassis to compete at the highest levels.
The Tech-Savvy Vet Rider: For the experienced rider who loves technology, the ability to fine-tune the bike’s performance for different tracks and conditions is a dream come true.
The “Silent” Property Owner: If you have a lot of land but also have neighbors, the Varg’s silent operation allows you to ride and train without the noise complaints of a gas bike.
This bike is probably NOT for you if:
You’re a Beginner: The sheer power, even in its lower settings, can be overwhelming for a brand new rider.
You’re on a Budget: This is a premium, top-tier motorcycle with a price tag to match.
You’re a Casual, Long-Distance Trail Rider: While it’s a capable trail bike, its primary focus is performance. Riders who need to cover 100+ miles in a single day may still be better served by a gas bike’s quick refueling capability.
Conclusion: The Future of Performance is Here
The Stark Varg is not just a great electric dirt bike; it is a monumental achievement in motorcycle engineering. It has proven that electric power can not only compete with but, in many key areas, surpass the performance of traditional internal combustion engines.
It has successfully challenged the very definition of what a dirt bike can be, replacing the noise and complexity of a gas engine with a silent, tunable, and breathtakingly powerful experience. For the world of performance off-road riding, the future has arrived, and it is electric.
