how forgivingly it cased things.
This sounds insignificant but as I
learned the jumps and kept com-
ing up short, the bike didn't bind
up and feel like it was going to
send me over the bars. Instead
it felt light and pushed through
whatever mistake I threw at it.
Now I keep mentioning how
light it feels but let's not get too far
ahead. At a claimed 242-pound
production weight, our bike was a
few pounds more, the Varg does
feel heavy lifting it on and off the
stand. The center of gravity is
well-contained in the "engine bay"
but even when using the bike's
designated grab holes, I noticed
the weight of the battery and drive
components. On paper it's not
far from a 450, but maybe the
gas bikes spread their weight out
more evenly. Just a bit of devil's
advocate here, it does feel amaz-
ingly light on track, but back at
the truck, not so much.
Power is another big talking
point with the Varg. I expected it
