Stark Drive hits 1000% Our Original Funding Goal! Also: Fat Tire Folded Photos

Hello Backers,

We are super excited to announce that we have now hit 1000% of our original funding goal as of a few hours ago! What a ride its been and it nothing makes us happier then to see years of work come together to form a completed product that has and will be making thousands (and hopefully millions) of people around the world happy.

Our company motto was as simple as it was altruistic: Manufacture the most affordable and well equipped electric bike in the world.

Saying this proved to be much easier then actually accomplishing this goal with competitors out there not wanting a product such as ours on the market and trying their best to keep Stark Drive off the market.

Mate.bike Libel Lawsuit in Denmark

We can now confirm that our court date with Mate.bike for them slandering us publicly is set for March 21st 2018. I will personally be heading to Denmark to testify. We have also amended our original lawsuit to include them being FORCED to take down the inaccurate information from their website that they are the most affordable electric bike in the world. In that respect its not even only us that is much more affordable then Mate. There exists other brands such as Sondors, Wave, etc that are all more affordable.

Are there any danes out there(?) that would like to act as my translator as my testimony apparently must be in danish and unfortunately all I can do is Swedish.

Mate.bike DMCA Lawsuit in California

The lawsuit against Mate for Fraudulently filing a DMCA with indiegogo and having our original campaign taken down is also proceeding with a demand letter for compensation sent to Mate last week. They have till the 23rd of October to respond and if they do not accept our generous settlement offer we will be proceeding with forced arbitration as per California Law, which is actually quite good as CA has some very strong Business Competition legislation on their books.

Batch 2 About to Close

for those of you on the fence about Stark Drive, you should make up your minds quickly as we are about to close batch 2 meaning that it would be a significantly longer wait if you decide to back Stark Drive after we close this batch. It would be no earlier then Spring 2018 delivery.

Stark Drive Mini (14'' Tires)

We are going to receive some finished prototypes of Stark Drive Mini with the batch thats headed by boat to Sweden, if all is up to par as we expect it will be we will be producing our promotional launch video and launching early 2018. Anyone out there in Sweden that wants to be part of the video and does not mind heading over to us? Contact us at hello@starkdrive.com and you can be a star.

Note in the photo below the upgraded pedals which use a much higher percentage of total pedal weight in metal instead of plastic. Note how well the wiring is routed as well as the protective sleeves they are placed in to protect them from ware and keep them looking neat. These are some of the fine touches we like to add to Stark Drive to not only make it utilitarian and dependable but also beautiful.
