Discover the Verge TS Pro, the world’s first electric motorcycle with a solid‑state battery delivering up to 595 km range and 137 hp. Learn more now!
Finland’s Verge Motorcycles has just unveiled a breakthrough that could reshape the electric two‑wheel market: the Verge TS Pro, the world’s first electric motorcycle powered by a solid‑state battery.
Why Solid‑State Matters
Unlike conventional lithium‑ion packs, solid‑state cells use a non‑flammable solid electrolyte, which brings three major advantages:
- Faster charging: A 200 kW NACS charger can add roughly 299 km of range in just 10 minutes.
- Longer range: Energy density reaches 400 Wh/kg – about twice that of today’s mainstream EV batteries.
- Extended life: Verge claims the battery will last the entire life of the bike, with an estimated 100 000 charge‑discharge cycles.
Two Battery Options, Two Massive Ranges
The TS Pro will be offered with two pack sizes, both produced by Verge’s in‑house subsidiary DoNUT Lab:
- 20.2 kWh pack: Provides up to 349 km (217 mi) on a single charge.
- 33.3 kWh pack: Extends the usable range to 595 km (370 mi), a figure that nearly doubles what most electric motorcycles can achieve today.
Both packs have been stress‑tested from –30 °C to 100 °C and retain more than 99 % of capacity under those extreme conditions.
Performance Figures That Compete With the Best
Powering the TS Pro is a 137 hp (100 kW) electric motor that delivers a staggering 998 Nm of torque. The bike’s specs read like a supersport:
- 0–96 km/h (0‑60 mph) in just 3.5 seconds
- Top speed limited to 200 km/h (124 mph)
- Weight: 235 kg (including battery)
- Seat height: 780 mm for a comfortable riding position
Price and Availability
Verge plans to launch the TS Pro in the first half of 2026 with a base price of $29,900 USD. The price includes the motor, chassis, and a choice of either battery pack. Buyers can also opt for the 200 kW fast‑charging system, which is compatible with the emerging NACS standard.
Safety First
Solid‑state technology eliminates the risk of electrolyte leakage and thermal runaway, making the TS Pro one of the safest electric motorcycles on the market. The battery’s non‑flammable composition and robust protective housing meet the highest industry safety standards.
What This Means for the Industry
If Verge’s claims hold up, the TS Pro could set a new benchmark for electric motorcycles, pushing competitors to accelerate development of solid‑state packs and faster‑charging infrastructure. The combination of ultra‑high energy density, rapid charging, and a full‑life‑cycle battery could make electric two‑wheel travel as practical as gasoline‑powered sport bikes.
Stay tuned as Verge prepares for a 2026 market debut – the era of solid‑state electric motorcycles may have just begun.
