The silent operation might also be an advantage for the track. You guys can keep having fun even if, in the future, you have annoying neighbours that would traditionally complain about the loud noise of engines which often results in the track getting closed.
I can see this being the same issue for out door go kart tracks….can race for longer periods without folks moaning about the noise. More time on track racing, can only be a good thing
Either a blender or a slot car. Moto-Gp has the electric bike class. They weigh 500lbs, can only do 7 laps. They can high side like no other bike made, they're fine one second, the next second the rider is launched to the moon. Watching them is some thing that nobody seems to want to do, something is missing. I would give it some years to get sorted.
They're not gonna replace actual engines. They can't do as many laps and anyways it's a new category so why care so much? You can still watch and listen to engines revving you don't have to watch electric bikes
@@Itzskimpy I couldnt care less about the e bike class, trying to be a good sport and check it out. 2 minutes is a long time watching them go round......it seems as if the wonder of e cars is wearing off for some also, It might be a long time before they really make much sense other than as commuters. Tesla is experiencing issues.....I have a killer e mt bike though, its a fun toy. I can go 85 miles on it if I really want to.
Guy Martin had a great idea since it's electric bike and there's no shifter you can have a rear brake on both sides if you want the extra weight I would just go with hand brake too
It's sad to see people laughing and joking while they bang nails in the coffin of motocross. One of the greatest feelings in MX is the ground shaking at Farleigh Castle, we all know. I agree they may have the power and handling, but in their own class, not with real MX bikes.
Picking my 2024 80hp varg up tomorrow, It's an insane bike with so much pro's, I can ride it anytime of the day without disturbing neighbors, its almost maintenance free, almost 5 hour enduro ride time, 1-2 hours charge time to 100% and it won't piss people off if i Enduro it around the forrests. Easy to get parts and the Stark support is amazing. Can't wait to slap some spikey tires on it and take it out onto the lake during winter time.
guy is a top block. I'd go for brake on the handlebars I think, my hands have better fine control, I ride mountain bikes though so very used to that but I ride mtorocycles too so either would work. I guess I'd need to ride both for a good while to figure out what realy works best. But my feet might get bored with no gears or no brakes for them to work on lol.
They sell these locally, it seems the only trick is it wont necessarily finish a 20 minute moto under a fast rider. It goes into limp mode once the battery gets low enough. And there might not be enough time to charge it for the 2nd moto. Minor issues I'm sure.
Over which you have very limited control, as power generated from multiple sources is supplied to a National Grid, from where is it distributed to the consumer - not sure of the point you are trying to make?@@mikeskidmore6754
Guy’s just playing… Trust me if you can ride a superbike around the TT, as well as Guy, then anything else he’s just being polite. Watch him round the TT, watch him at Rossi’s super X track on real bikes… You’ll see he’s just being respectful here…
As much as I don’t like electric bikes/cars they do allow for more tracks to be built closer to housing. Here in Aus people are pathetic and if they hear even the smallest sound of a bike or car the government shuts it down straight away.
A few friends and myself, truck drivers, we done a make a wish convoy for a local disability centre and to say thanks they hooked us up at a local raceway in rally cars. Can't describe the drive but a day I'll take to the grave in my best memories. If you haven't done it, you're missing out big time. You gotta do it Ian you just gotta 💯 👍🇮🇪
I'd watch Guy do anything, he's a legend. Even takin' a piss up a tree! Must say I'd miss the note a 2 stroke makes blastin' out of a berm. Im two/four-stroke all day every day! Petrol for life!
I've been wanting one of these from when they started developing them and everyone was slating them. There now out and I can no longer afford one however the want is still the same if not more 😂 what a peace of kit
In the intro, the drone shot shows archaeology trenches in the field behind the track....looks like moto101 will be the next track to be closed to make way for housing estate 😢
If you have the rear brake on your left hand and accelerator on your right hand, you can easily overload the system. But, if you'd have front brake on your left, and both rear brake and accelerator on your right, that thing would corner like no other.
Front brake on right like every dirt bike made, a rear hand brake could go on the left. I cant see how brakes could over load the system. Brakes are separate from any other system .
@@bradsanders6954 MTB's have front brake on the left hand. And this way you could wield it double-handed. Braking before lifting, or even without lifting.
@@oikkuoek MTBs have the front brake on the right side where I live (New Zealand). Back is left. It makes the transition between dirt bike and mountain bike more natural.
That tends to be a European thing, rather than a UK thing. My French wife and I have our bicycles setup differently as the childhood muscle memory is too difficult to get past... Having said that, she managed to ride motorbikes in the UK (and pass her motorbike test there) with the front brake on the right hand, clutch on the left hand and brake on the right foot...😮@@oikkuoek
I think the reason it feels so light is the instant torque, it just carries the bike ^^ If I win the lottery I'm ordering a stable of these things! I'll ride around on 10 hp mode and then slowly go up till I'm fit enough to ride it at a decent pace, I can never ride like these guys due to physical limitations but I could have fun for sure! :D Like they say on the clip, none has said a bad word on this thing, other than the numptys in the comments, and I've watched a ton of videos on them! So darn impressive! I have almost forgotten about my dreams of having a Yamaha Teneré 700... xD Obviously very different bikes...! Edit: Find it funny people struggling to understand Guy and the others all the time, i'm from frickin Sweden and I have zero issues understanding any of these boys! :)
There’s daft questions, then there’s asking Guy if he want’s more horsepower 😂
😂😂😂
Guy riding anything is a joy to watch
Ya mum??? 😂
That’s what she said

Doesn’t matter if it’s gas or electric. Punk rock and dirt bikes is the shit!

Sounds like a scalextric these things will be the death of Motocross
Or make it more accessible and get less complaints from nimbys.

Agree 💯
You should have said your not having a go until you open thoresway back up to the public 😂
Left Hand Rear Brake all day, let's your feet stay in the right position. Can't wait to see you guys ripping these in MX!
Agree 👊🏼
I use a LHRB on my KTM 525 single track trail bike it's glorious!
I tried subtitles on but it couldn't handle Guy 😀
😂
Ha ha! I did the same thing just to see. lol
Back brake on the left bar is the best! Up tick if you agree 👍🏻

Thank you for the video,
Never thought electric dirt bikes would be so amazing.
I’ve just had mine delivered yesterday so I’m desperate to get out. It’s good to see everyone loving the bike.

Get guy to have a meeting at thorsway just for the stark would be unreal nxt summer
Unless you're planning on having a lefty five Knuckle shuffle get the brakes on the handlebars innit 😅
Would love a road supermoto verison
Turn it up to 80 guy 👌
Motorcross is all about the noise the smells not that stupid noise that's sound like bees not for me
Its all fun and games untill the loval track gets closed down.
These will help with that
I deffo say have left and right rear braking, might take some getting used to
They sell these locally, it seems the only trick is it wont necessarily finish a 20 minute moto under a fast rider.
It goes into limp mode once the battery gets low enough.
And there might not be enough time to charge it for the 2nd moto. Minor issues I'm sure.
I'd still have to go braaap braaat burrraaap" in my head ,
Test dates coming very soon so you can ‘braaap’ away
Are you powering those bikes with Nuclear or Cole Power ?
Hamster wheel
@@Moto101uk The Electricity is Generated from Coal or Nuclear energy normally .
Over which you have very limited control, as power generated from multiple sources is supplied to a National Grid, from where is it distributed to the consumer - not sure of the point you are trying to make?@@mikeskidmore6754

Bloody quick them bike.

every time I hear a stark varg is just sounds like someone wheezing at a joke that ain’t funny
The future will laugh at you
No offense but I do think most negative sentiment towards the Stark is a sort of coping mechanism.
@@B2C2007 great comment!
@@B2C2007you definitely need to ride one before even making a comment. It's an unreal thing to ride.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it - www.hirememoto.com

Sheds gotta have one of them in it 😂 love the Guy
Looks a great bike, but sounds like theres 80 pigs under the bonnet...weird. maybe well get used to it.
That looks a lot of fun....Christmas present 😊
Treat yourself 🙌
didn't understand a word anyone said...lol But I think they liked the VARG.
But I love the smell of two stroke 😂
hand brake
Come back to our channel tonight to see Guy Martin race the stark Varg at mablethorpe beach race 👊🏼
no mention of low noise so no neighbours complaining too.
Question is, Brake on the left side or the foot?
This is going to annoy the petrol-heads lol…a Guy see’s and rides an electric motorbike and literally wants one immediately 😂😂😂
My wife is hovering over my shoulder saying "dream on your not and will not be in the same country." I'll have to stick to my little Dar cf 😢😢

Love the stark, but I'm just here for the mispronunciations...
😅
Love guy martin,such a down to earth guy
Love moto x but you can stick electric vehicles in the canal for me! Completely soulless
Had to pay close attention to figure out when Guy was riding it .???
Just found this stream . MAD lads great fun . 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice bike but cant beat the sound of an old skool crosser 😁😁
2:56 ... is that a tattoo or an injury on Guy's left lower leg?
Shite
£11k
Enduro version soon? Needs a clutch
You dont really need a clutch when you have a electric motor, it would just make it more complicated.
Looks like he was having fun, I’m looking forward to trying one but can’t help feeling like it’s 97 all over again!
I'd watch Guy do anything, he's a legend. Even takin' a piss up a tree! Must say I'd miss the note a 2 stroke makes blastin' out of a berm. Im two/four-stroke all day every day! Petrol for life!
Boring some how ? miss the sound ?
Banging song choice. Guy is a G
What’s the song at 2:00
1.000.000 bees at the track
can anyone who has one tell me how they handle the pressure washer? All good to clean?
Wash like a normal bike 🙌 just remember to remove the phone

Test and hire days coming very soon, so you don’t need to own one 👊🏼 www.hirememoto.com
@Moto101uk oh wicked man that's brilliant. I'll definitely still want to own one after riding one though I've got it set in my head
Wonder if he's related to leyton haigh
Maybe

Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere 🙌
*Electric Bikes Suck!*

But they don't, they rotate. 2-strokes suck, 4-strokes suck, and both of those bang & blow too...

Surprised they don’t speak English in England.
No one speaks English in England 😂
handle bar rear brake should be standard, like my Surron.
Fixing things that weren't broke. The downfall of the western world. Bring back the two strokes and make these bikes affordable again
My 2 stroke was over $10k.
12 grand each tho
Like a new ktm 450 then xD
