Stark Future Reports Record Growth As VARG E-Models Lead The Way

The company credits its street‑legal expansion as a key force behind the momentum.

Published on 04.17.2026

Stark Future is showing no signs of slowing down in 2026, with Q1 revenue reportedly coming in at more than three times last year’s level, surpassing their own internal plan. The milestone suggests their electric motorcycles aren’t just making noise online — they are converting riders in the real world. 

The Barcelona-based company says that a big part of that lift comes from the new VARG SM — the brand’s push into the street‑legal world. Stark had penciled in a 3% global market share for its first year, but early sales are already tracking ahead of that target.

Stark’s off-road models haven’t slowed down either. The company reports the VARG EX is now the best‑selling enduro motorcycle in Germany, France, and Italy, with Germany alone hitting roughly 50% market share in its first year. Several other markets have already crossed 20% in the enduro category. “Year three of production was the year we proved the model,” says Anton Wass, Founder and CEO of Stark Future. “Year ten will be when we prove that 99% of all motorcycles sold will be electric by 2035.”

These early‑year results build on a strong 2025, when Stark grew revenue 77% to €115 million and posted profitability in five of the final nine months. Wass says the company’s growth is being driven by real demand rather than subsidized expansion. “Three years ago, Stark delivered its first motorcycles to customers,” he says. “Today it is one of the world’s fastest growing tech companies, ahead of budget, EBITDA profitable, and continuing to scale because the products keep winning significant market share.” 

To keep up, Stark is expanding its commercial and operational footprint, with the United States remaining its largest market. The company is investing in dealer support, service coverage, spare‑parts logistics, and retail financing to prepare for broader acceleration. On the engineering side, Stark continues to push battery development, electric motor innovation, and connected‑vehicle systems, while also laying the groundwork for future entry into larger motorcycle categories.

Stark has also confirmed plans to prepare for an IPO within the next three years and will raise additional capital in 2026 to support global scaling. Battery‑supply partnerships with EVE and Wanxiang A123 are already in place to ensure production can keep up with demand. The company sees this as validation that electric motorcycles are no longer being judged as alternatives, but as legitimate contenders in categories traditionally dominated by combustion.
