Some single-track ideas (e-mountain bikes) have since become resounding successes, others (MotoE) less so. The next boom – and you only need to compare sports news and registration statistics to see this – will be that of electric enduros. In some competitions, you already need a Stark Varg to win. Between January and May alone, 154 Stark Vargs were registered (!), and significantly more were purchased. All of this is no surprise, as quiet vehicles are a godsend for a sport that constantly seeks out playgrounds on the edge of exclusion. Without noise, you're left with only the same tired arguments against mountain bikes, which don't get any better or more original with age. But well-designed electric motorcycles also offer tangible advantages for the rider. Motorcycle Magazine 06/2026
