Last checked: 16 September 2026. Applies to Great Britain unless stated otherwise. Specifications and availability can change; legal eligibility depends on the exact registered bike.
Quick answer: The Stark VARG EX is Stark Future’s road-homologated enduro VARG. MotoEbikes currently lists the VARG EX 60HP at £10,900 and the VARG EX 80HP Alpha at £11,900. Both use Stark’s 7.2 kWh battery platform. The important UK point is that road homologation and motorcycle-licence entitlement are separate questions: check the specific bike’s registered continuous power, V5C/CoC and your licence before riding on the road.
Stark VARG EX UK at a glance
| Model | Current MotoEbikes price | Headline power | Main use | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VARG EX 60HP | £10,900 | 60 hp maximum | Road-homologated enduro | View EX 60HP |
| VARG EX 80HP Alpha | £11,900 | 80 hp maximum | Road-homologated enduro | View EX 80HP |
Stark describes the EX as “race performance, street legal” and separates it from the VARG MX motocross model and the VARG SM supermoto model. That distinction matters more than the headline horsepower when choosing the right VARG.
What exactly is the Stark VARG EX?
The EX is the enduro member of the VARG family. It is designed around mixed off-road/enduro use while being homologated for road use. If your riding is mainly closed-course motocross, compare the VARG MX. If your riding is mainly tarmac and supermoto, the VARG SM is the more relevant starting point.
60HP or 80HP Alpha?
The two EX versions answer a simple buying question: how much maximum performance do you actually want? The 60HP is already a very high-output electric enduro. The 80HP Alpha raises the available maximum output and currently costs £1,000 more at MotoEbikes. Both sit on the EX platform and use the 7.2 kWh battery capacity published for the VARG range.
We have a dedicated EX 60HP vs 80HP Alpha comparison for riders deciding between the two.
Battery, charging and riding time
Stark publishes a 7.2 kWh battery for the VARG EX platform. Stark’s EX technical material quotes approximately two hours for a full charge on the stated 220V charging setup and up to six hours of riding under its stated conditions. Treat “hours of riding” as a manufacturer claim rather than a fixed mileage figure. Terrain, speed, rider weight, tyre choice, temperature, power map and how aggressively the bike is ridden can all change the result.
We do not yet describe a MotoEbikes mileage figure as a “real-world EX range” unless we have tested it under a repeatable route and recorded the conditions. For charging basics, see our electric motorbike charging guide.
Is the Stark VARG EX road legal in the UK?
The VARG EX is a road-homologated model. That does not automatically mean every EX configuration is rideable on a CBT or A1 licence. In Great Britain, motorcycle entitlement is tied to the vehicle’s registered classification and continuous/rated power, not simply the 60HP or 80HP peak headline.
MotoEbikes currently lists its 11 kW road-legal configuration as A1/CBT-compatible for eligible riders aged 17+, subject to the usual registration, insurance, tax and learner requirements. Before relying on this, check the actual bike’s V5C/Certificate of Conformity and registered continuous power. Read the full Stark VARG EX road-legality and licence guide and our broader electric motorbike licence guide.
Can you finance a Stark VARG EX?
MotoEbikes offers finance routes on eligible purchases. The live figures shown on product and finance pages are illustrative and can change with lender terms, deposit, term and eligibility, so the safest place to check is our electric motorbike finance page or the live EX product page rather than copying an old monthly figure from an article.
EX vs MX vs SM: what is the difference?
| VARG | Primary character | Start here if… |
|---|---|---|
| EX | Enduro + road homologation | You want enduro/trail ability with a homologated road route |
| MX 1.2 | Motocross | Your priority is closed-course motocross/off-road riding |
| SM | Supermoto | Your priority is tarmac and supermoto riding |
We are building dedicated EX-vs-MX and EX-vs-SM guides because those are different buying decisions, not just trim choices.
Can you see a Stark VARG EX at MotoEbikes?
MotoEbikes has a physical showroom in Guildford, Surrey. Current stock changes, so check the live product page or contact the showroom before travelling. You can also use our test ride page to see which bikes are currently available for demonstration.
Who is the VARG EX for?
The EX makes the most sense for a rider who wants the VARG platform in an enduro format and wants a road-homologated route rather than a pure motocross machine. If your decision is mainly about road riding, compare it with the VARG SM. If your decision is mainly about value and a lighter electric off-road platform, read our VARG EX vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee HP comparison.
Stark VARG EX FAQs
How much is a Stark VARG EX in the UK?
MotoEbikes currently lists the EX 60HP at £10,900 and the EX 80HP Alpha at £11,900. Check the live product page for current price and stock.
Is the VARG EX street legal?
Stark positions the EX as a homologated road-legal enduro. UK road use still requires the correct registration, insurance, tax/licence entitlement and compliant bike configuration.
Can I ride a Stark VARG EX on a CBT?
Potentially, but only where the specific registered configuration fits the relevant licence class. MotoEbikes lists an 11 kW road-legal configuration as CBT/A1-compatible for eligible 17+ riders. Verify the individual bike’s continuous/rated power and registration documents.
Does the 80HP version require a different licence just because it says 80HP?
No conclusion should be drawn from peak horsepower alone. Great Britain motorcycle categories use registered/continuous power and other classification criteria.
What battery does the EX use?
Stark publishes a 7.2 kWh battery platform for the VARG EX.
How long does a VARG EX take to charge?
Stark technical material quotes around two hours on the stated 220V setup. Actual charging time depends on supply, charger, starting state of charge and conditions.
What is the range?
Stark publishes riding-time claims rather than a single universal UK-road mileage figure for every use case. We would not present one mileage number as guaranteed range.
What is the difference between EX and MX?
EX is the enduro/road-homologated route; MX is the motocross-focused route.
What is the difference between EX and SM?
