Woa... It's like an Ultra Bee but already upgraded! I guess bigger as well... But not that much bigger. I've gotta get my 150xcw up for sale, would be awesome to build a quiver with one of these and a older, carb'd 300 (cheap) for true hard enduro days. I don't really wanna throw a $10k bike off cliffs all day!
My EXE 880 arrived yesterday and I got it together in time to ride around the parking lot. Coming from a mostly stock Surron X other than suspension it is such a nice step up. I am 6ft and this fits me. Feels great standing and sitting. Pretty mobile at slow speeds and the throttle is way smoother than my Surron with way more torque. I need to get off road to feel the suspension and see if i need to adjust it some. Mine had dual hand brakes on the left. Hydraulic and E brake. Getting those to the right angle so both can be used might be interesting.
At 5:45 the chain slack adjuster is very near full out. Kinda special for a new out of the box bike. Makes me wounder what other "details" are interesting.
Is the battery quick swappable? Looking for a bike that can do harescrambles and grand prix so I need swappable battery. I just raced Virginia City Grand Prix and we had to race 45 miles. 15 miles a lap x3. Do you think this could do it on one battery? The Light Bee is just punishing to ride in races like this.
although we don't currently have any videos (yet) we have done some big races on the Arctic Leopard 880 including racing it on our 4 bike team at the 8 hour endurance Gypsy 500 race. We had 2 Stark Vargs, an 880, and an Ultra Bee. The Arctic Leopard survived the entire event without issues and finished the event. The only real problem we had is we needed a 240v charger to charge faster, the massive battery was too slow to charge and towards the end of the day we were having to take additional laps on the Varg's to make up for it. During this race it was the worst conditions possible for an Electric bike with deep deep sand on most of the course which eats batteries. We did 2 laps (6 miles each) each outing using about 40% battery in these extreme conditions. Range should be much better in your east coast terrain. The AL battery can be swapped, probably takes 5 minutes, so not as fast as a Surron, but it can be done. Compared to a Light Bee which would be incapable of racing an event like Gypsy 500, I would expect a real world 3X or greater battery range increase for racing. We have a video coming very soon about a range test with Stark Varg, AL 880, stock Ultra Bee, Upgraded Ultra Bee, be sure to subscribe and watch this video...the AL crushed it with it's enormous battery.
Awesome. BTW there was a Storm Bee in the GP race and it was killin it until they burned through the battery. After the 2nd lap they had ridden 30 miles and had 10% soc left. If they had a 2nd battery they would have dominated us. In the end an Ultra Bee won it because it had 2 batteries.
The EXE in the USA is not street legal from the factory. But just like any other dirt bike you can make it street legal by following your local laws and adding the necessary equipment: blinkers, rear view mirror, brake light, etc. We convert bikes to street legal for customers, in fact we have a fully street legal Surron Ultra Bee on our showroom floor right now.
Finally we got dakar mission1000 winner EXE880 unboxing from you guys! This is currently #1 enduro electric moto and Stark is #1 mx electric moto. Please do not compare this beast with surron for godsake. Surron is for teenagers and this is for adult riders remember! Looking for trail riding experience and test 🎉🎉🎉
For the price I'd still rather have a KTM with Brembo brakes and clutch, WP suspension, etc. but at least these e-motos are moving away from the "toy" category like the Surron's and into the real bike zone.
@@Meekerextreme Brembo bought them, does that make them Brembo brakes? I haven't heard. There are lots of good brake manufactureres, but I've never used anything as good as Brembo. Same with the clutch.
I owned XT800 from arctic leopard. I rode the bike maybe 5 times and it was falling appart... I tried to find parts and help from manufacturer and it was complicated and what they where proposing as a solution for bad design was super expensive. It's sad because for the price the spec sheet is insane! I had the 25kw version witch as the biggest battery and I would get just a bit more range than my EM escape witch as a significantly smaller battery. Also the mapping/throttle was so bad it made the bike dangerous, it would go from 0% to 100% with 25% throttle. Not to mention it broke into pieces when I wanted to replace the ultra poor quality throttle. I ended up selling the bike at a huge loss. Moral of the story: Don't believe everything the manufacturer(especially Chinese) are claiming and dont act as a ginny pig with new brands like that. Seing them racing at Dakar made me hopeful that maybe they made a better bike this time. From what I can see in the video it looks much better and I will definitely be looking for more videos of this bike to see if it holds up. Unfortunately I wont be buying this time.
Did you mean EXT800 which was stopped producing since last summer in 2023...Hope youbare not talking about EX800 with alluminium frame 25kw version. That one was sick and completed version. Sad to hear you ride first generation prototype design and experienced such a failure. But AL improved alot in very short time.
It was an xt800. And it was sold to me as a finnished bike not a prototype. I did not choose the titanium frame it was the steel version. The bike was fast but it was trash unfortunately. Also I could not get no where near the promised range. @@elivincent6013
I still own EXT800 with titanium frame, and it's holding up pretty well, with amazing power and range for it's weight. And no overheating. Looking forward to getting EXE version.
Can't wait to see what it's range is really like .... For still waiting for the bike from Dust but getting more excited for electric bike to replace my gas bikes..
Great review, thanks! I wonder about the claimed weight though (Weight 108kg (238lbs)). How is that possible? Varg is much heavier while having smaller battery. This bike also doesn't look any smaller than Varg (suspension, chassis, power, etc). Could you please weigh the bike for us? If the weight is real, that would be a huge breakthrough!
Yes, we can definitely do a real weight of the bike. The difference in weight between this bike and the Varg is actually water cooling. The Varg is water cooled whereas this is air. The bike is the same size as the Varg being a full sized moto
@@ChargedCycleWorks I see, that makes sense. Still, 108kg seems too good to be true with such a huge battery. 😅 Even the upcoming Talaria Dragon seems heavy in comparison as it has much smaller battery, smaller suspension and chassis (not a full sized dirt bike). Looking forward for the weighin!
@@LamosRides super fishy, water cooling doesn’t weigh 10kg and Arctic definitely doesn’t have special battery cells that Stark couldn’t access on the market. Something doesn’t add up
@@benhatchell1802 I'm the last one to cheer for stark believe me, but there's a difference between using Molicels like Stark or Chinesium cells like Arctic
Would you do an Ultra Bee with a 75AH or the Artic Cheetah with the 75AH? We're writing mostly Sandy single track. My light bee X with a 55ah only gets 20-22 miles.
I’ve been waiting for this video for so long! Can’t wait for the video of you guys ripping this thing. I love my gen 1 Arctic Leopard 680 that I got from you guys.
would you settle for a really great excuse? We took it to the Gypsy 500 race this past weekend to RACE it! Long story short it was the only Chinese electric motorcycle to finish this race...we broke our others. We finished with our 2 Stark Vargs and the Arctic Leopard 880 surviving the 8 hour endurance race. We'll get back to video editing now :)
@@ChargedCycleWorks Yes that is one of the best excuses I have heard thank you. What a great way to find out what a bike is really about. Looking forward to what you learned.
Looking forward to the ride review and also that of it's little brother which looks like a 3/4 scale bike at 180 lbs which would be more comparable to the Ultra Bee but hopefully better appointed from the start as it looks to have about double the power. Is anyone selling these things in the US yet ? I have a little more faith in the Dust moto being a better bike being usa made but am open to being surprised.
Looks to be a capable bike for some serious racing. The ancient foot brake and dorky looking fake radiator shrouds just don't work for me on an air cooled electric bike.
Nate coming from behind the box was funny😂🙌🏼

Where do you live that you were able to get this bike this soon ?
I live in Southern China. @@jimji2774
How is the noise?
@@carlvonfuckwits2934 Just a bit louder than my surron was.
I think the highest praise is that this looks like something a big brand could put their name on and sell.
Looking forward to a range test!
It's killing me waiting for the ride video 😁
At 5:45 the chain slack adjuster is very near full out. Kinda special for a new out of the box bike. Makes me wounder what other "details" are interesting.
Oh man, I'd love to give you a bike to try out..SICK moves!
Nice work boysss!!
So what's about real weight? Around 260?
How come AL is mixing red and orange colors. I would need the black model.
looks very interesting. new bike potential interesting.
Sick guys I know someone who races that brand and they take a beating and keep goin
So where is the video of you riding this thing. You talk about riding it the whole time and never go sweet video bro
Stay tuned for one of our upcoming vids!

@@ChargedCycleWorks where is range test and review? Waiting for 7 days 😅
Who makes the suspension then?
It’s essentially Honda (Showa) replicated suspension produced in China
Looks awesome
What about DUST MOTO?
Dust just launched a promotion where 100 pre-orders are up for grabs, check it out if you are interested in helping to crowd-fund them.

That left lever can be a re-gen brake or a clutch?
I'm wondering how a clutch simulator even works on an electric bike.
Would you do an Ultra Bee with a 75AH or the Artic Cheetah with the 75AH?
We're writing mostly Sandy single track. My light bee X with a 55ah only gets 20-22 miles.
Music is way too loud Not to mention annoying.
Are yall able to get battery's from them I will buy a 72v 60ah arctic leopard battery for the ext line
The e clutch has me. And it all blacked out as a supermoto
WHAT UP DJ!
Looks better than the Stark
