Barcelona-based Stark Future, maker of the VARG electric enduro, posted €86 million in H1 2026 revenue, up 46% year-over-year, with both EBITDA and EBIT turning positive. CEO Anton Wass said the company exceeded its own plan while funding growth from profitability rather than cash burn.
Looking at the numbers, a 6.1% EBITDA margin that's a €7 million swing from last year's loss is unusual for an EV motorcycle startup. Setting emotion aside, what matters is the 9.3-point jump in gross margin to 39.6% — that's not just more units sold, it's proof production efficiency itself has improved. Combined with over 8,000 deliveries, technically speaking these are the numbers of a company that's reached volume-production maturity.

Profitable or not, investors probably still see this as early days.
Wait, is the VARG even street-legal?
While plenty of gas-engine makers are folding, this one's holding steady.
The VARG's off-road chops are legit, so that tracks.
A 6.1% EBITDA margin is genuinely solid for an EV startup.
How does this actually stack up against Zero Motorcycles though?
