STARK SURGES

“We set a plan, we exceeded it, and we did it profitably,” exclaims Stark Future founder Anton Wass. The Barcelona-based EV OEM posted its strongest financials of its first three years as Q1 2026 revenue growth was up 212% year-on-year. This surge is equivalent to 3.12x growth, while delivering its first EBITDA-profitable period and outperforming its own internal budget.

“Three years ago, Stark delivered its first motorcycles to customers,” adds Wass. “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.” He claims that Stark’s growth is not being led by unsustainable losses, but by real market demand, strong product momentum, and increasingly disciplined execution.

Driven by unexpectedly high demand for the Super Moto model, Q1 performance builds on a strong 2025, during which Stark recorded 77% year-on-year revenue growth to EUR 115 million and achieved profitability in five of the final nine months of the year.

At the same time, Stark’s position in off-road continues to strengthen. The company says the VARG EX is now the best-selling enduro model in Germany, France, and Italy, with Germany alone delivering around 50% market share within Stark’s first year of commercial availability. In multiple additional territories, Stark has already reached or exceeded 20% market share in the enduro category.

Stark is also laying the groundwork for its next international growth phase. The United States remains the company’s largest market, and Stark is currently building out dealer support, service coverage, spare parts, and wider retail finance discussions in preparation for broader market acceleration there.

“Year three of production was the year we proved the model,” concludes Wass. “Year ten will be when we prove that 99% of all motorcycles sold will be electric by 2035.”
