Verge Launches the World’s First Solid-State Electric Motorcycle

Verge Motorcycles becomes the first brand to bring solid-state battery technology to production bikes, delivering ultra-fast charging and up to 370 miles of range.

Electric motorcycles have promised big leaps for years. Verge Motorcycles has just delivered one.

The Finnish technology company has become the first manufacturer in the world to offer production motorcycles powered by solid-state battery technology, a long-anticipated innovation that until now has lived mostly in laboratories and concept cars. By putting the technology into customer-ready bikes, Verge has effectively fast-tracked the future of electric mobility onto public roads.

At the centre of this breakthrough is Verge’s partnership with battery specialist Donut Lab, whose solid-state battery system replaces traditional liquid electrolytes with a solid structure. The result is a battery that charges dramatically faster, delivers far greater range, lasts longer, and improves safety — all without changing the price of the motorcycle.

The first model to receive the technology is the latest evolution of the Verge TS Pro, unveiled late last year at EICMA in Milan and now entering customer delivery. It marks the first time solid-state batteries are not just tested, but sold, ridden and lived with by everyday riders.

Faster charging, longer range, no compromises

In practical terms, the impact is striking. Riders can now add up to 186 miles of range in just ten minutes of charging, a figure that pushes electric motorcycles closer than ever to the convenience of combustion refuelling. A standard TS Pro offers around 217 miles of range, while an optional extended-range pack stretches that figure to as much as 370 miles on a single charge.

Unlike conventional lithium-ion systems, which degrade over thousands of cycles, Verge’s solid-state battery is designed to last for the full lifespan of the motorcycle. That reduces long-term ownership costs while eliminating one of the major concerns surrounding electric vehicles: battery replacement.

Power and performance have not been sacrificed in the process. Verge’s next-generation Donut 2.0 in-wheel motor is 50 per cent lighter than before while delivering the same 1,000 Nm of torque, helping the TS Pro reach 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The weight savings also improve handling, balance and overall riding feel.

A major step forward for safety and sustainability

Solid-state batteries bring another crucial advantage: safety. Because they do not use flammable liquid electrolytes, they are far less prone to thermal runaway or fire, even in extreme conditions. They also remain stable across a wide temperature range, making them more reliable in both hot and cold climates.

Sustainability also plays a role in Verge’s approach. The battery materials rely on widely available resources rather than scarce or geopolitically sensitive elements, helping reduce supply-chain risk and environmental impact.

For Verge, this is more than a product update, it is a statement of intent.

By bringing solid-state batteries out of the prototype phase and into customer hands, Verge has moved electric motorcycles into a new era. What was once a future promise has become a present reality and one that may soon reshape not only two-wheeled transport, but the wider electric vehicle landscape as well.
