Stark Varg SM: The New Street-Legal Electric Superbike That Weighs Just 274 Pounds

This ultra-lightweight rocket delivers 80 hp, 673 lb-ft of torque, and outperforms gas supermotos

Electric motorcycle manufacturer Stark Future is pushing the boundaries of performance once again. Their latest model, the Varg SM, is not only road-legal—it’s also one of the lightest and most aggressive electric supermotos ever built.

Based in Barcelona, Stark Future has already earned global attention with its Varg EX and Varg XM off-road models. But the Varg SM may be their most important release yet, as it brings uncompromising electric performance to public streets for the first time.

Ultra-Lightweight Design Meets Massive Power

The Varg SM borrows heavily from its motocross siblings and features the same sleek, aggressive look. But the real headline is the powertrain.

Powertrain Highlights

• Carbon-fibre-sleeved electric motor

• 7.2-kWh honeycomb magnesium battery

• Up to 80 hp (60 hp in base model)

• 673 lb-ft of torque

• Weight: just 274 lbs (124 kg)

This gives the Varg SM a staggering power-to-weight ratio of 0.479 kW/kg, which, according to New Atlas, is better than that of any other production supermoto on the market—gas or electric.

One of the biggest challenges in electric motorcycles is weight. Stark appears to have solved that problem.

Real-World Range and Fast Charging

Despite its wild performance, the Varg SM still offers respectable usability.

Range

• 73 miles mixed riding

• ~50 miles at highway speeds

It won’t replace a touring bike, but it’s perfect for:

• commuting

• weekend canyon runs

• supermoto track days

Charging

• Includes a 3.3-kW portable charger

• Charges to 100% in 2 hours

• Works with household outlets and AC car chargers

Two Versions: Standard and Alpha

Stark will launch two trims:

Varg SM Standard

• 60 hp

• $12,900 USD

Varg SM Alpha

• 80 hp

• $13,900 USD

Both models will be available early next year in:

• Europe

• Australia

• New Zealand

• Select U.S. markets

This pricing places the Varg SM in direct competition with traditional high-performance gas supermotos—yet it beats them in torque, responsiveness, and power-to-weight ratio.

Conclusion: A Game-Changer for Street-Legal Electric Motorcycles

The Stark Varg SM is one of the most significant electric motorcycles to hit the market in years.
With near-instant torque, ultra-lightweight engineering, superb handling potential, and full road legality, it signals a major shift in the electric vs. gas performance debate.

For riders wanting a street-legal supermoto that feels like a “rocket with a license plate,” the Varg SM is shaping up to be one of the most exciting bikes of 2025.
