🚨 UK Police Are Now Using Stark Vargs… But Why? 🚨
Staffordshire Police in Stoke-on-Trent have unveiled brand-new Stark Varg electric motocross bikes as part of their crackdown on nuisance riding, stolen motorcycles and anti-social behaviour.
But this raises a big question…
Why have police gone from using Sur-Ron Ultra Bees to some of the most powerful electric dirt bikes on the market?
In this video, I break down:
⚡ Why Stoke-on-Trent Police have introduced Stark Vargs
⚡ The differences between the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee and Stark Varg
⚡ How police are justifying the cost of these bikes
⚡ The public reaction and comments surrounding the decision
⚡ Whether the problem is really the bikes or the riders
⚡ Why many riders feel there are not enough legal places to ride in the UK
⚡ What this could mean for the future of Sur-Ron, Talaria and e-moto riders
As electric bikes become faster and more popular, police forces are investing in increasingly capable equipment to keep up. But should more money be spent on enforcement, or should councils and the government be creating more legal riding opportunities for riders?
I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Do you think the police are justified in using Stark Vargs?
Or should more focus be put on creating legal places for people to ride safely?

Now its rider for rider bro simple
Many years ago when I lived in West London the met pigs decided to set up a police unit with 4 stroke scramblers to chase the myriad of illegal scramblers being used on public land. Quite impressive one day walking my dog over Horsenden Hill in West London and 2 pigs came flying up over the hill on their bikes without a care for anyone who may have been walking out of their line of site. Anyway I digress, the unit was shutdown shortly afterwards because the pigs kept falling off the bikes and hurting themselves ha ha ha. I anticipate the same will happen with these pigs on their 100mph e.v's….here is hoping anyway.
Love the way the pig says they are environmentally friendly ha ha, may be that they do not emit anything but every other part of the manufacture of these bikes and their inevitable end of life creates massive issues for the environment.
Now this is crazy
Nobodies talking about the fact that they've caused this whole problem by themselves,
Theres no way to register them, most MOT centres wont touch them, they're nye impossible to insure,
They are making a whole generation into criminals, because theres no other option but a dodgy pedal assist
Direct quote from suppliers
“We do have a lot of requests for road legal e-bikes, but nobody can insure them, so they turn away from buying one. The issue is that if there is no insurance company that will touch the e-bikes, 40-50% of the customers then decide to ride illegally.
Yeah because you've given us no option.
The goverments created a problem and are now patting themselves on the back for chasing kids on bikes and seizing them.
Stood like that on ther bikes they shouldn't be catching any of you street lads. 😂😂 If they do U messed up….
Where do motocross riders go and have been going maybe go to the same places
In Canada as a kid they did bike rodeos at school like a 2 day event on how to be safe on your bike and doing safety games why don’t they do that for emotos or e-bikes or both in different classes
They not gonna be in every area they only gonna go to the areas that have the problem of “trouble makers”, and the rough riders are the ones that can really ride good because they are experienced in escaping and want to get chased by the looks of it they have the heart for it too, it’s gonna be nice chase videos to look forward too, them big boy bikes are not for the little 2000w 3000w motors
Trying to control the laws on EV/PEV's is futile 😂
Tax payers money btw.
The answer is simple, if you've no were to ride don't buy the bike,if you had no access to water would you buy a boat, of course not
You can take them to tracks but it isn't free & not everyone has transport for their bikes
I as a decent law abiding citizen, would like one ! Although tall and old, be great.
It’s all about raising money and by keeping it illegal for us plebs to ride them whist they are allowed means they can catch us and fine us.
If it not so good why they getting one now then 🤔 think we having our pants pulled down here lads 😲
For a country that always bangs on about being greener why r they making it hard for electric motor bikes
Yeah but they might have all the gear with no idea. It’s just another way of spending our the tax payers money.
Because they were JEALOUS.
And because THEY can afford them and because they would actually receive shipping after Paying. You won't.
Riding an illegal bike is just inviting a police chase
Get a Push Bike My G So you can get the stares & real men wear pink
i agree with you. it does need to change, and to be frank, the police could still use the bikes to enforce speeding ETC. but humans will human. teen dickheads will race across fields, by any means they want, a cop on a bike isn't going to stop them.
if it wasn't for all the little scruffs thieving off everyone it wouldnt be so bad
Any E bike capable of over 15.5 mph is automatically classified as a motorcycle therefore reg, insurance, tax! I've got a bike I built before E bikes, from over 30 years ago. It has an uprated golf cart gearbox made by EMD in the early 90s and is fitted to an altered heavy mountain bike frame made by British Eagle called Cannon. The battery was originally a 12v 12Ah on a 12v motor and was good for about 7miles summer, 5 miles winter. It now has a 24v motor and a 24v15Ah or 36v 15Ah with simple push switch. I gave up on twist throttles as the circuits kept failing.
Ok but why they film it on a fucking potato
A lot of these little kids have zero respect for other humans autonomy. People say about the cops "it comes with it". Nah. The cops are on smoke because these stupid little kids with zero respect.
Your e bike community is having the same issue we had as kids in the early 80s. Have bikes, but only fields or trails to ride them on, which made the local Police less than happy even back then 😂. They should provide places you can ride, I do agree.
Stark varks only have 30min range at peak power, I got 1h30 range at 300nm
Good job I have a stark varg 😆😆😆
3 days of photo shoots and a couple of press releases and you’ll never see em
This issue has been going on for decades it’s about time the council’s stopped wasting the people’s money on the tosspot police and give the kids a break
Yeah why don't they just make a truck without money or bring their heads together and buy a piece of land so everyone can ride up and then you pay to get in
I can see some gangs targeting the stark varg police riders…knocking them off and taking the varg to a garage and stripping it down and selling the parts. I doubt they have gps trackers in them, the ultra bee that was stolen in Manchester from a police officer was never recovered. if you go on the bike life tiktok you see the two guys on the surron pushing the officer off the bike and the dude on the back jumps on it and rides off, hits a curb and falls off and gets back on and rides off with his friend. I am actually surprised the police are risking the starks, plenty of brazen people out there willing to risk it for a stark.
