Electric motorcycles have been promising big leaps for years—but the Verge Motorcycles TS Pro may finally deliver one. The Finnish EV specialist has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first production electric motorcycle powered by a solid-state battery, and the numbers behind it are nothing short of astonishing.
From ultra-fast charging and headline-grabbing torque to a futuristic hubless motor, the Verge TS Pro isn’t just another electric bike—it’s a statement about where two-wheeled EV technology is headed.
Solid-State Battery: A Major Breakthrough for Electric Bikes
At the heart of the TS Pro is its solid-state battery pack, developed in partnership with Donut Labs. Unlike conventional lithium-ion or LFP batteries that rely on liquid electrolytes, this new design uses a solid electrolyte, significantly improving thermal stability and reducing fire risk in case of damage.
Solid-state batteries have long been seen as the “holy grail” of EV tech, but they’ve remained largely confined to laboratories and concept vehicles. Verge bringing this technology to a production motorcycle is a major milestone for the industry.
Ultra-Fast CCS2 Charging
Thanks to CCS2 compatibility, the TS Pro supports DC fast charging up to 200kW. Verge claims this allows the battery to charge from 0 to 80 percent in just 10 minutes, assuming access to a high-output charger—an almost unheard-of figure in the electric motorcycle space.
Two Battery Options, Massive Claimed Range
Buyers can choose between two battery configurations:
-
20.2kWh battery – claimed range of up to 350km
-
33.3kWh battery – claimed range of up to 600km
If these figures hold up in real-world riding, the TS Pro could effectively eliminate one of the biggest barriers to electric motorcycle adoption: range anxiety.
Hubless Motor With Superbike-Rivaling Performance
Another defining feature of the TS Pro is Verge’s hubless rear-wheel motor, a design the brand has been refining for years. Instead of a conventional hub, the system uses electromagnets mounted inside the wheel that interact with permanent magnets on the rim, causing the wheel to rotate.
The result?
-
Power output: 102kW (around 138hp)
-
Torque: an outrageous 1,000Nm
-
0–100kph: 3.5 seconds (claimed)
That level of torque is far beyond most petrol-powered motorcycles, putting the TS Pro squarely in supernaked territory—despite its substantial 235kg kerb weight.
Electronics, Riding Modes and Everyday Comfort
Managing that performance is a comprehensive electronics suite, including:
-
Adjustable regenerative braking
-
Dual-channel ABS
-
Traction control
-
Four riding modes: Range, Zen, Beast and Custom
The first three modes progressively increase power delivery, while Custom allows riders to tailor the bike’s behaviour to their preferences.
Long-distance comfort hasn’t been ignored either. Features like heated grips, cruise control, and adjustable footpeg positions (neutral, mid-set or forward-set) make the TS Pro surprisingly versatile for an electric supernaked.
Premium Hardware and Practical Touches
Despite its futuristic drivetrain, the TS Pro uses proven, high-quality components:
-
Fully adjustable Öhlins/Wilbers suspension
-
Brembo M4.32 radial monobloc calipers
-
Performance-focused Pirelli tyres
There’s even a small under-seat storage compartment—hinged in a way reminiscent of the classic Yamaha RD350—useful for carrying gloves, cables or small essentials.
Other notable specs include:
-
Seat height: 780mm
-
Ground clearance: 140mm
These figures make the TS Pro more accessible than its extreme performance might suggest.
Price and Positioning
The Verge TS Pro is priced at €29,900 (excluding taxes, delivery and registration). In international markets, that places it close to premium petrol-powered machines like the Ducati Streetfighter V4.
While that’s undeniably expensive, the TS Pro isn’t competing on tradition—it’s offering a completely different ownership and riding experience, backed by genuinely cutting-edge technology.
Why the Verge TS Pro Matters
The Verge TS Pro isn’t just another high-performance electric motorcycle. By combining solid-state battery technology, ultra-fast charging, long range and extreme torque, it shows what’s possible when EV design isn’t constrained by convention.
Even if production volumes remain limited, the TS Pro’s biggest impact may be what it signals for the future: electric motorcycles that are not merely alternatives to petrol bikes—but potentially better in every measurable way.
