CHAPTER 408 Ft. Anton Wass
Show notes
Four years ago, the idea of an electric dirt bike changing motocross sounded impossible. Today, the Stark VARG is competing against the best riders and manufacturers in the world, and Stark Future founder Anton Wass returns to Gypsy Tales to explain how it happened. From the latest VARG developments and battery technology to hard enduro dominance, AMA Supercross ambitions, and why he believes combustion bikes could become purely nostalgic within the next decade, Anton shares the vision driving one of the most disruptive companies in motorsports.
Beyond motorcycles, Anton and Jase dive into artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, the future of work, universal basic income, and what it takes to lead a company that's challenging an entire industry. Whether you're passionate about motocross, technology, or the future of innovation, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
