The VARG SM weighs 124.5 kg (274.5 lbs) and produces up to 80 hp while offering the highest power-to-weight ratio. With 914 Nm of torque at the rear wheel, acceleration is instant, predictable, and endlessly controllable. Riders can personalize power delivery, engine-braking, and regeneration to match any surface, from tight city streets to technical kart circuits.

Advanced Battery & Powertrain:

The 7.2 kWh honeycomb magnesium battery functions as a structural component, improving chassis rigidity and balance while delivering 183km (113miles)* of urban riding, 118km (73miles)* of suburban riding, or 81 km (50miles) (WMTC) of real-world riding range.

Recharging takes under two hours with Stark's revolutionnary 3.3 kW portable charger, light enough to fit in a backpack and compatible with any household outlet or AC car charger.

The carbon-fiber-sleeved motor with integrated inverter sets a new benchmark in power-to-weight efficiency. Tested against the brutal demands of motocross, it's built to take on a challenge, validated to full automotive standards.

Precision Engineering & Control:

The VARG SM is built on a high-strength steel frame with a forged aluminum subframe and precision- machined triple clamps engineered for ideal stiffness and flex.
Suspension is provided by KYB, featuring fully adjustable 48 mm closed-cartridge, 290mm stroke forks and a triple-adjuster rear shock with 303 mm of travel.
A newly developed triple clamp gives the SM greater steering precision and front-end feel, while CNC- machined hubs, aero-grade rims, and Brembo brakes deliver exceptional stopping power and stability.

The cockpit features internally routed wiring, a CNC aluminum map switch, and Stark's rugged Arkenstone display, a waterproof, shock-resistant Android-based dashboard providing GPS navigation, real-time ride data, over-the-air updates, and full tuning control directly from the handlebars.

Riders can switch between modes instantly, commuter, stunt, or track weapon — with customizable power curves and braking profiles.

Design and Detail:

The Stark VARG SM isn't just built for performance, it's built for access.
Fully road-legal across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the United States, it allows riders to take race-level electric performance to the streets.
With A1-license compatibility and even car-license eligibility in select Southern European countries, the VARG SM opens the door to a new generation of urban riders, making high-performance riding more accessible.

Whether commuting, connecting trails, or carving mountain passes, the VARG SM hopes to redefine convenience, control, and confidence.

It's equipped with intelligent, rider-focused innovations including Crawl Mode for reversing in tight spaces, customizable ride modes, digital security layers, and an optional handlebar-mounted handbrake for perfect control in stunt or track environments.

Key road-ready features include:

  • Patent-pending flexible indicators, crafted from durable optical silicone for superior longevity.
  • A 4,000-lumen headlamp — ensuring exceptional visibility at night.
  • A reinforced, integrated license-plate holder combining minimalist design with robust protection.

Performance with Purpose:

The VARG SM is built to strict European environmental standards, utilizing sustainable materials and processes. It produces zero emissions.

The VARG SM offers an unprecedented level of customization, including:

  • Titanium upgrades for footpegs, bolts, and shafts to further reduce weight.
  • A choice of four different tubeless tire options.
  • Footpeg (handlebar fitment included free for U.S. customers).
