No, before you ask, the new motorcycle brand Stark Future, isn?t anything to do with fictional squillionaire superhero Tony Stark, also known as Ironman. No, they?re a new company (est. 2019) based in Barcelona (but with Swedish roots), that are going to ?design, develop and manufacture cutting-edge electric motorcycles to push boundaries of performance and set new standards for sustainability in the industry.? Nice, Greta will be pleased.

The biggest problem with most electric motorcycles up to now, has been battery life. Some electric bikes are actually quite good, but (for the most part) they don?t last long enough or go far enough. But if we?re to believe Stark?s latest press release, all that?s about to change. Stark Future are claiming up to six hour?s of battery life. Granted, that?s only if you?re trail riding, but they do say that you?ll get full race distance at MXGP intensity; an MXGP race is 30 mins and two laps. If you can (reasonably) easily swap a flat battery for a full one, that could work. And you?d have to say that six hours of trail riding is probably enough for most people. In fact, what they are claiming is that the battery range is roughly equivalent to a full tank of petrol.
If that?s the case, it?s a big step forward.

The VARG might be the only bike in their range so far, but they?re saying it?s actually more like 100 bikes rolled into one. You can customise the power delivery (using your smartphone) to match that of a 5bhp kids bik...
