Stark Varg SM electric supermoto reviewed: strong power, short range

The Stark Varg SM electric supermoto delivers 79‑80 bhp with instant torque, offering a wild, highly entertaining riding experience. Its lightweight, minimalist design includes a narrow frame, no fuel tank or radiator, and an app‑adjustable power‑mode system that can reach a top‑speed power output of about 79 bhp.

Despite its impressive power, the bike suffers from a harsh, stiff suspension that reduces rider confidence, especially on wet surfaces. The front brake, although equipped with a Brembo‑style caliper, feels weak due to an oversized master cylinder, and the bike lacks ABS and traction control. Range is limited, with tests showing as little as 25 miles under progressive riding, and charging is relatively slow. The Varg SM is classified as an L3e‑A1 light motorcycle, allowing operation without a full motorcycle licence.

Overall, the Varg SM showcases the potential of electric power in supermoto applications but is hampered by limited range, minimal rider aids, and a harsh ride quality.
