I've had my Stark Varg for a bit over two years now, and in that short time I've won quite a few races, accomplished some riding goals that wouldn't have been possible for me without it, and overall just had a very enjoyable experience with the bike.  Regardless of anyone's opinion on where this sport is heading and on E-bikes in general, there's no denying that the Varg is an incredible machine that has changed the definition of what's possible for thousands of riders around the world.  While Alta was the first to pave the way for an entirely new...
