Verge becomes the first motorcycle brand to deliver a production solid-state battery bike
Verge Motorcycles claims its new solid-state battery delivers 600km of range and ultra-fast charging in a production bike
Verge Motorcycles is one of those brands that didn’t ease its way into motorcycling. From day one, it aimed straight at convention. Hubless rear wheels, radical design, and a clear belief that electric motorcycles shouldn’t feel like compromises put it on the global map fast. While still young, Verge matters because it’s willing to ship ideas others are still in the design phase.
That context makes its latest move a big deal. Verge has become the first motorcycle manufacturer to deliver a production bike using a solid-state battery pack. Not a prototype. Not a concept. A real bike customers can buy.
The new battery is rated at 30kWh and claims up to 600km of total range. More eye-opening is charging speed. Verge says around 300km of range can be added in under 10 minutes under optimal conditions. If those numbers hold up in the real world, this changes how electric motorcycles fit into everyday riding. Long trips and quick stops suddenly stop being talking points and start being normal behavior.
This breakthrough is headed straight into Verge’s flagship naked roadster, the TS Pro. The current TS Pro uses a 20kWh battery and is rated for up to 350km of range. The jump in capacity is substantial, but the chemistry matters even more. Solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte instead of the liquid or gel electrolytes found in conventional lithium-ion packs. That brings two big advantages: improved energy density and a major safety gain.
On safety alone, this is huge. Solid-state batteries are far more resistant to thermal runaway and do not ignite the way lithium-ion cells can. For riders, that means more peace of mind while charging at home, at public stations, or on long rides far from familiar infrastructure.
Verge developed and validated the system with technology partner Donut Lab, focusing not just on peak performance but on durability and real-world usability. Verge says the battery system is already production-ready and will be available in the coming months.
The updated TS Pro itself was recently shown at EICMA, featuring technical refinements and a new user interface. The solid-state battery was officially unveiled to the wider tech world at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 4.
