The electric motorcycle world is evolving quickly, and Verge Motorcycles from Finland is leading with a major update to their TS Pro model. This bike now features the world's first production all-solid-state battery, a collaboration with Donut Lab. Announced prominently at events like CES 2026 and covered widely in industry outlets, this development addresses key pain points for electric riders: limited range and slow charging times.

Online discussions, including on forums like Reddit and social platforms, highlight excitement about the potential to eliminate range anxiety. Riders and enthusiasts note the hubless rear wheel design paired with this battery tech creates a unique, futuristic riding experience. While some skepticism exists around real-world validation and recent delivery timeline adjustments (with production and shipments progressing toward later 2026 for certain configurations), the core innovation draws attention for pushing boundaries in EV tech.

Key Features and Performance Specs

The Verge TS Pro stands out with its Donut 2.0 hubless in-wheel motor, which is 50% lighter than previous versions while delivering consistent power. It produces around 137 horsepower (approximately 100 kW) and an impressive 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque. Acceleration hits 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.5 seconds, with a top speed around 200 km/h (124 mph).

The solid-state battery comes in two options: a 20.2 kWh pack offering up to 350 km (217 miles) of range, or the larger 33.3 kWh pack providing up to 600 km (370 miles). Energy density reaches about 400 Wh/kg at the cell level, contributing to lighter weight and better efficiency. Charging stands out—adding up to 300 km (186 miles) in under 10 minutes at high rates (up to 200 kW), with claims of even faster times in testing. The design supports NACS compatibility for convenient charging.

Independent tests on the battery tech have shown promising results for fast charging and thermal stability without active cooling needs, though broader cycle life and density verifications continue in discussions.

Pricing and Value Considerations

The TS Pro starts from US $29,900 (approximately €29,900 or NT$950,000, depending on exchange rates and excluding taxes/fees). The extended-range version or special editions may reach around US $34,900 (about €34,900 or NT$1,110,000). This pricing aligns with previous models, despite the advanced battery—no increase for the solid-state upgrade. In premium electric motorcycling, this positions the bike as a high-end option focused on innovation over mass-market affordability.

Why This Matters for the Future of Electric Riding

Solid-state batteries promise safer, more durable energy storage compared to traditional lithium-ion, with reduced fire risk and better performance in extreme temperatures. By integrating this into a production motorcycle first, Verge demonstrates a path forward for EVs. The hubless motor enhances handling and stability, while the battery tackles common complaints about electric two-wheelers.

Conversations across web sources, social media, and enthusiast communities reflect optimism mixed with calls for on-road proof. As deliveries advance, the TS Pro could set new standards for what riders expect from electric superbikes.
