Stark Future kicks off 2026 with triple-digit growth
The electric bike disruptor is growing fast — and pouring €36m into tech that could shake up the street motorcycle market.
Stark Future has kicked off 2026 in a hurry, claiming more than 200 per cent year-on-year growth in January alone, with sales effectively tripling despite what it describes as a softer overall market.
For a relatively young electric motorcycle brand, that kind of jump suggests the appetite for high-performance battery-powered bikes is far from cooling. Stark says the result reflects increasing confidence from customers, dealers, suppliers, and financial partners, while a run of international podium finishes has helped prove that its electric platform can deliver when it matters.
But the Spanish firm is keen to stress that this isn’t just a case of early hype translating into quick sales. According to Stark, the strong start to the year comes off the back of a more mature operation, tighter internal processes, and better coordination with suppliers and retail partners.
Over recent months, Stark has invested heavily in manufacturing, quality control, and diagnostic capability. That includes improvements such as line balancing, automated end-of-line testing, and app-based service tools designed to speed up repairs and make delivery times more predictable.
Anton Wass, CEO and founder of Stark Future, said the figures point to both demand and operational progress.
“January’s result of 3X growth YoY reflects healthy demand and the performance we’ve built into operations,” he said. “In 2026, we’re focused on controlled growth, operational excellence, and long-term platform innovation. We’re investing heavily in R&D in order to broaden our markets to the large street motorcycle categories, while strengthening our supply chain to improve margins and make the business more predictable and scalable.”
Behind the scenes, Stark continues to develop motorcycle-specific battery cell formats and pack architecture aimed at boosting performance, extending range, and reducing cost. A multi-sourcing strategy for key components is also helping to steady lead times while protecting margins as production ramps up.
Looking further ahead, the firm has signed off a €36 million capital expenditure programme for motorcycle R&D in 2026. The bulk of that spend is earmarked for new street-focused platforms and what Stark describes as next-generation high-performance electric powertrains, alongside the testing infrastructure needed to move technology from prototype to full production.
The company has also tweaked logistics and sourcing strategies to stay ahead of shifting global trade conditions, insisting that any changes won’t come at the expense of quality, compliance, or performance.
In short, Stark Future appears to be shifting from ambitious start-up to serious manufacturer — and if these numbers are anything to go by, it’s planning to do so at speed.
