Video review can be found HERE   Last week I had the chance to fly to Barcelona, Spain to see and ride the new Stark Varg electric dirtbike first hand, and it was truly an incredible experience.  Before diving into the bike and company itself, I need to extend a huge thank you to the whole team at Stark Future and Austin from Electro & Co for making this trip a reality; never did I think I’d be flying half way across the world to ride a pre-production motorcycle!  The Varg really is a massive step forward in technology, and...
