Revolution has arrived—on two wheels. Verge just dropped a bombshell at CES 2026 with their TS Pro motorcycle, the world’s first production bike packing solid-state battery technology. Range anxiety? Dead. This Finnish masterpiece delivers a jaw-dropping 370 miles on a single charge. Not a typo. Three-seven-zero miles.
The game-changer? That solid-state battery. Unlike traditional motorcycles with their messy liquid electrolytes, Verge’s 33.3 kWh extended-range pack boasts energy density of 400 Wh/kg. Translation: it crushes the competition. Even the standard 20.2 kWh version delivers 217 miles—enough for most riders to stop worrying about finding the next charging station.
Speaking of charging, it’s ridiculously fast. Ten minutes plugged in adds 186 miles. Do the math—that’s three hours of highway riding from a bathroom break. The full battery charges in just five minutes. Yes, five. And it’ll do that for 100,000 cycles without degradation. Your grandkids might inherit this thing.
Performance doesn’t suffer either. The hubless Donut 2.0 motor delivers 1,000 Nm of torque—that’s 737 pound-feet in American—and 137 horsepower. Zero to 62 mph happens in 3.5 seconds. Not too shabby for something that never needs gas. The innovative motor is 50% lighter than previous designs while delivering impressive power. Similar to how geothermal energy boasts a 96% capacity factor, the TS Pro delivers remarkable consistency and reliability compared to other electric vehicles.
Price tag? $34,900 before taxes. Expensive? Sure. Revolutionary? Absolutely.
The solid-state technology brings enhanced safety as these batteries don’t catch fire and operate well across various temperatures, a critical advantage for motorcyclists facing different weather conditions.
The TS Pro makes Zero Motorcycles’ XE with its measly 65-mile range look like a children’s toy. Ducati and other manufacturers just got lapped while they were still warming up their engines.
Verge developed this tech with their spinoff Donut Lab, and orders are open now with deliveries expected in Q1 2026. The configurator shows slightly different numbers—344 miles instead of 370—but final specs are pending.
Bottom line: this isn’t just another electric bike. It’s the moment electric motorcycles stopped being a compromise and started being better than gas. Period.
