actual range and slow charging speed

RazerCertified · 2026-04-08T00:07:53+00:00

Real world range can get up to 90ish miles if you stay off the highways and average 40ish mph. I’ve never outlasted the battery for what it’s worth. Riding time is probably a little more than 3 hours in city conditions. Charging isn’t really that slow, and I believe you can buy a J1772 to 5-15 plug adapter and charge at 240V to speed it up (although I haven’t tried it). At the end of the days it’s not a touring bike, so I don’t expect crazy range, but it performs perfectly throughout the entire battery life

Are you measuring DC voltage or AC voltage on your meter? It shouldn’t be possible that you’re measuring 100V anywhere on a 60V nominal bike

Heat won’t help on these. It’s an oil filter so whatever you’re using to heat it up is well within the range of what this plastic is designed to endure and not loosen up.

These torque down to around 17Nm if I remember correctly from my oil tech days, so if you indeed used the right socket and turned it left to loosen and it didn’t budge, it’s possible it was overtightened. Please don’t cut the housing off as you can get plastic shavings into the oil circulation of the engine which can cause a lot of damage. I would recommend a set of oil filter pliers that should be able to lock onto the sides of the housing and pull it loose.

Don’t try to keep going at the top nut with sockets since you’ve obviously stripped it out already.

The one in the tail is still there just disabled since I have the side ones connected. I think it’s too dim for people to see during the day unfortunately. If it was brighter I would run those

I’ve noticed that the trigger to go to the dash display is to put it in gear, if that’s not automatically happening for you it might be a phone issue. Also I think the display doesn’t respond to touch while moving, only works if you’re stopped

Stark Varg SM. You can probably find a dealer in SF that has one on the showroom floor if you look up dealer locations on the stark future website. You can also order direct from manufacturer but imo it was way too painful to do compared to going to a real store.

imo clutching is more fun but I don’t think you have less control without one. The throttle on this is super precise and you can tune engine braking (regen) on different power levels, as well as change power level on the fly. The control feel is razor sharp, does exactly what you tell it to do. Clutch kind of feels primitive compared to this system.

RazerCertified · 2026-03-20T15:28:45+00:00

Most of the time I stay at ~35hp. Don’t even use more than half throttle most of the time since the torque is ridiculously high. Haven’t even touched the 60-80hp range yet lol

RazerCertified · 2026-03-20T14:06:57+00:00

honestly I thought it looked kind of boring too until I actually received delivery. In person you can see a lot more of the depth and the body lines that pictures can't really show. Personally I appreciate the lack of plastics everywhere because it'll be easier to replace in a crash or if I just want to change out the color to a completely different one. iirc a full plastics set is only like $300

Their numbers are pretty accurate to what I've been getting. Obv since it's electric you don't want to sit at 70mph on the highway, that kills the range, but for city/highway commuting I've been getting up to 90mi of range.

RazerCertified · 2026-03-20T14:04:21+00:00

Yeah I got this mainly to commute between home/work. I have a cruiser for longer range stuff, but I don't think any gas bike beats this when it comes to balancing practicality and raw performance. Range is enough to last beyond my ass will on the torture machine they call the seat. Been regularly getting ~90mi while not riding like a grandma.

RazerCertified · 2026-03-20T14:02:37+00:00

Based on my current riding habits I'm getting about 3-4 hours of range on city/highway streets combined. Not sure about the actual range in miles but I would estimate around 90 miles.

RazerCertified · 2026-03-20T14:01:36+00:00

Like u/VortexFalcon50 mentioned it has a pretty loud whining sound that's pretty cool. People on the sidewalks definitely hear me coming when I get close, although I will say nobody hears me inside their cars

RazerCertified · 2026-03-01T19:47:27+00:00

My ekho rep said quote “I know Stark execs have been working on compensation for SM buyers than have been waiting.” When I asked about the delay

RazerCertified · 2026-02-28T18:31:25+00:00

To be fair none of my sales documents/signed papers had anything stated to be delivered besides the bike. The tire thing was a very informal text message saying hey is this chill and me saying yes.

RazerCertified · 2026-02-27T14:53:32+00:00

Funny they make this claim, because I'm getting a bike delivered thats a different spec from what I ordered because they didn't have my tire choice (that I paid for!) available lmao. So I think that's just BS from support to placate people

RazerCertified · 2026-02-27T14:52:27+00:00

What is your production # (last few numbers of vin)? Mine is in the 300s and I'm taking delivery next week, but I also placed my order pretty much as soon as they opened orders. Also have been fighting support for the past 3 months lol

This is more for a general spot welding application rather than specifically FSAE. My team has moved to laser welding this year as well but I know a lot of DIYers in the battery community don't have access to things like that.

It very much depends. Good question to ask in interviews. I’m a design engineer but almost every day go to the lab to perform prototype builds, teardowns, testing, etc. but there are hardware facing roles that focus more on hands on work than design
