The electric off-road test series 'THE DIRT PACK' features test rider Ziggy (Zeger Verbeke) riding the Stark Varg MX. The bike produces up to 80 horsepower and 978Nm at the rear wheel, with output adjustable in real time from 10 to 80 horsepower. There's no clutch and no gears. On a Dutch track, Ziggy also tested bidirectional charging, powering the bike from a KIA electric van.

What's technically interesting is the bidirectional charging demonstration. Power flows from a Kia PV5 electric van to charge the Stark Varg MX, with the 7.2kWh battery a 20% increase over the previous version. Output varies from 10 to 80hp in real time, with power mapping even done through an Arkenstone device. I think a concrete picture of how competition electric bikes will actually operate is starting to come into view.
