Stark Future, the Barcelona-based electric motorcycle startup known for its high-performance off-road bikes, has just smashed expectations by posting its first profitable quarter – and in record time. After announcing its first profitable month this past April, the company is now sharing that its Q2 2025 results show €47 million in revenue and €4.5 million in EBITDA. That would mark the fastest path to profitability ever recorded for an electric vehicle manufacturer, whether on two wheels or four.

To put that race to profitability into perspective, several big electric car makers took over a decade to become profitable, while some still haven’t achieved profitability (which is the same for many major electric motorcycle makers). Stark Future accomplished it in just six years.

The company’s success has been driven by the Stark VARG, its flagship electric dirt bike that has taken the motocross world by storm. Touted as a game-changer in the off-road scene, the VARG blends sleek design with monstrous performance specs – enough to attract several Motocross World Champions as buyers. In fact, the bike has proven to be such a performance beast that it earned the dubious honor of being banned from the X Games for being capable of performing tricks that are beyond the capabilities of combustion engine motorbikes competing against it.

Rolling on the success of rave reviews from riders and being banned for being “too good,” the company’s skyrocketing sales might not come as such a surprise after all.

“Our main achievements in product development are well known, but this financial success is confirmation that our customers appreciate the hard work we put in every day behind the scenes,” said Anton Wass, CEO of Stark Future. “We’ve rapidly established a cost-competitive global value chain as well as built a cutting-edge, 20,000-square-meter factory for in-house battery and vehicle production.”

Stark Future says that it is now the largest and fastest-scaling electric-only motorcycle manufacturer in history, having surpassed all other pure-play EV motorcycle rivals in both revenue and international reach. Deliveries of the VARG are accelerating across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia.

When calling itself the largest electric-only motorcycle manufacturer, Stark seems to be discounting major Asian players in the electric motorcycle market, such as Yadea and NIU, though those companies make the bulk of their sales from vehicles that more closely resemble scooters or mopeds. Most other all-electric motorcycle companies are not publicly traded and thus don’t share their financials for comparison. Even Stark itself remains a private company and has not fully opened its books for review, but if we are to take them at their word, the €47 million in revenue and €4.5 million in EBITDA would certainly put it near the top of the pack for electric-only full-size motorcycle makers.

In an industry where electric motorcycle startups often struggle to stay afloat, let alone break even, Stark’s profitability milestone is a big deal. It proves that high-performance, premium electric motorcycles can not only compete with gas bikes, but that the business model behind them can actually be sustainable, too.

“This isn’t just about building great electric motorcycles,” Wass added. “It’s about building a sustainable, profitable business that can reshape both this industry and beyond.”

Electrek’s Take

It’s not every day that we see a motorcycle startup leapfrog the entire field, but that’s exactly what Stark Future seems to have done.

While major motorcycle brands continue to cautiously test the electric waters, Stark cannonballed in, and now they’re leading the charge – and doing it profitably. If this is what they’ve accomplished in six years, the rest of the industry better start riding faster.

This could be an example for new startups or a wake-up call for entrenched legacy brands. Either way, it’s a powerful message about where the two-wheeler industry is headed.
