Verge Motorcycles Launches Production of Groundbreaking Electric Motorcycle

Estonian manufacturer Verge Motorcycles has announced the commencement of production for the TS Pro, claiming it is the world’s first motorcycle to be powered by an all-solid-state battery. This marks a significant step forward in electric vehicle technology and battery innovation.

Solid-State Battery Technology Explained

Developed in collaboration with Finnish startup Donut Lab, the TS Pro’s battery technology details remain largely confidential. However, Verge states the bike delivers exceptional range and ultra-fast charging capabilities. Solid-state batteries replace traditional liquid or gel electrolytes with solid materials, enhancing safety, energy density, and overall lifespan.

Initial Unveiling and Key Specifications

Verge first showcased its solid-state battery-powered bike at CES 2026 in January, promising a 370-mile range and a 10-minute charging time. The latest iteration, unveiled at EICMA in Milan last November, is now the company’s first production model utilizing this advanced battery technology.

TS Pro Configurations and Performance

The TS Pro offers two battery configurations. The standard version features a 20.2 kWh battery, providing up to 217 miles of range and 100 kW peak charging. A long-range option increases capacity to 33 kWh, extending the range to 373 miles and supporting 200 kW peak charging.

Power and Handling

The motorcycle is powered by the Donut Motor 2.0, generating 100 kW of peak power and 1,000 Nm of torque. It also features a refined rear-end design for improved responsiveness. Verge’s in-house HMI system, Starmatter, offers four ride modes and receives continuous updates via over-the-air technology.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for the TS Pro in the US starts at $29,990 before taxes and fees. The long-range battery option adds an additional $5,000 to the price. A $100 deposit is required to secure a reservation.

Donut Lab Safety Test Results

Recent tests conducted by Donut Lab demonstrate the safety and durability of its solid-state battery technology. Even after experiencing structural damage under high-temperature conditions, the battery did not exhibit thermal runaway, fire risk, or temperature spikes.

Performance Under Stress

Follow-up testing confirmed the damaged cell could complete multiple charge and discharge cycles, including fast charging, without instability. While capacity decreased, performance remained consistent and predictable.

Real-World Charging Capabilities

Real-world testing on a motorcycle platform showed the system achieved peak charging power exceeding 100 kW. The battery charged from 10% to 50% in approximately 5 minutes and from 10% to 70% in just over 9 minutes.

Delivery Schedule

Verge anticipates deliveries to early reservation holders will begin in the first quarter of the year, with new orders expected to be fulfilled towards the end of the year.
