Stark Future Launches Varg SM, a Road‑Legal Electric Supermoto With Class‑Leading Power‑to‑Weight

The new model emphasizes lightweight engineering to deliver high output without the heft that typically hampers electric bikes.

Overview

  • Stark confirmed two trims at launch—a 60 hp version at $12,900 and an 80 hp Alpha at $13,900—with sales beginning early next year in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and select U.S. markets.
  • The company website lists a delivery date of January 6, 2026, and Forbes reports the basic SM is shown at $12,990 on the site.
  • A 7.2‑kWh honeycomb magnesium battery and a carbon‑fiber‑sleeved motor deliver up to 80 hp and a reported 673 ft‑lbs of rear‑wheel torque.
  • Stark cites a 274‑pound weight and New Atlas reports a 0.479 kW/kg power‑to‑weight ratio that tops current supermoto rivals, including gas models.
  • Estimated range is about 73 miles mixed or roughly 50 miles highway, and a 3.3‑kW portable charger refills the pack in around two hours using household outlets or AC car chargers.
