dead. Dead-dead. That’ s useable. If you’ re efficient, you can get a solid ride in. But if you’ re trying to do a full practice day with multiple motos, you still need to plan your day around charging. And that’ s exactly how I use it now. I’ ll explain how my ride days work. Instead of treating the VARG as a standalone all-day bike, I run it as part of the rotation. I’ ll start the day on the VARG while it’ s fresh, get a good session in, and use a decent chunk of the battery. While it’ s charging, I’ ll jump on my petrol bike for a couple of motos. Then I’ ll go back to the VARG once it’ s got enough charge for another proper hit. The bike works brilliantly for me inside that routine; but it does need that routine. Generator choice still matters too. A more powerful generator does help noticeably with charging speed, but there’ s a cost gap: if you want quiet and fast charging, you’ re spending real money. If you want cheaper fast charging, it’ s generally louder. There’ s no magic solution.
ONE OF THE BEST USE CASES One place the VARG continues to make heaps of sense is wet tracks. It’ s not that it replaces a petrol bike, it’ s that when you’ re short on time, or the track is sloppy and you don’ t feel like dealing with the post-ride cleanup and maintenance, the VARG is just easy. The cleanup is quicker, there’ s less messing around, and the power delivery helps you be smooth in slippery conditions. That practicality is what I keep coming back to.
