Head-to-head
Torp Bike (15kW) vs Stark Varg MX 1.2 (Alpha 80hp)
Stark Varg MX 1.2 (Alpha 80hp) leads on current VoltRipper Score, but rider fit, legality, budget, and support still decide the smarter buy.
| Bike | Score | Price | Peak power | Battery | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torp Bike (15kW) Moto - Expert | 70 | $7,900 | 15 kW | 1.8 kWh | expert racers, freestyle/stunt riders |
| Stark Varg MX 1.2 (Alpha 80hp) Moto - Expert | 83 | $13,490 | 60 kW | 7.2 kWh | serious motocross, expert riders |
What works
- Astonishing power-to-weight — 15 kW peak in a 64 lb bike is unmatched here
- ~30-min fast charge and ~68 mi off-road range from a removable 1.8 kWh pack
- Purpose-built for racing and freestyle/stunt riding
Trade-offs
- Expert-only: 15 kW in a 64 lb bike is a serious handful
- Niche builder with a limited dealer/support footprint
- Premium ~$7,900 for a stripped-down race machine
What works
- The fastest electric motocrosser made — up to 80 hp from a 360V, 7.2 kWh system
- App-adjustable power from 10–80 hp adapts to any rider
- Race-grade suspension and a full-size MX chassis
Trade-offs
- Halo price (~$13.5k) — competes with premium gas MX, not trail e-bikes
- Closed-course MX bike — not street-legal (the SM variant is the road option)
- Newer platform; aftermarket still maturing vs. Sur-Ron
