Stark Future electric motorcycle rollout and sales surge

Overview

In late July 2026 Stark Future unveiled two limited‑edition Varg off‑road models – the MX Factory Edition for motocross and the EX Factory Edition for enduro – at a Barcelona presentation. Production is limited to 500 units (200 MX, 300 EX) with prices from €15,990 and deliveries slated for 10 September. Both retain the 360‑V, 80‑hp drivetrain and 7.2 kWh battery that offers about six hours of trail riding, while adding race‑spec components such as a KYB Factory A‑Kit suspension, titanium fasteners, 3‑D‑printed foot pegs and a lightweight chassis.

A few days later the Varg SM electric supermoto was test‑driven. The bike delivers 79‑80 bhp and instant torque, but reviewers noted a harsh, stiff suspension, weak front braking, and the absence of ABS or traction control. Real‑world range was measured at roughly 25 miles, and charging remains relatively slow, highlighting practical limitations despite the strong power output.

By early August Stark reported that the VARG EX had become the world’s best‑selling electric enduro. First‑half 2026 revenue rose 46 % to €86 million, EBITDA reached €5.3 million, and production climbed 45 % to 8,124 units. The company credited profitability to strong spare‑parts and software sales, continued investment in technologies such as Dynamic Traction Control, and growing demand for electric off‑road motorcycles.
