Verge Launches World’s First Solid-State Battery Motorcycle

Electric motorcycles have made steady progress in recent years, but heavy batteries, slow charging, and safety concerns have continued to limit wider adoption.

Verge Motorcycles says it has overcome these challenges by unveiling what it calls the world’s first solid-state battery motorcycle at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.

The move places Verge ahead of major automakers including Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Stellantis, which are still developing solid-state battery technology for cars expected later this decade.

By bringing the technology directly into production, Verge claims it has become the first company to deliver a solid-state battery motorcycle for real-world use.

Solid-state batteries replace the flammable liquid electrolyte used in conventional lithium-ion batteries with a solid material.

This change significantly improves safety by reducing the risk of fires and overheating. The technology also allows more energy to be stored in a lighter, more compact battery, helping motorcycles achieve longer range without added weight.

Faster charging is another key advantage, making electric bikes more practical for everyday riding.

Verge introduced the TS Pro as a production-ready model rather than a concept.

The electric motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.5 seconds and offers an estimated range of up to 600 kilometers, figures that rival many gasoline-powered bikes.

It delivers 1,000 Nm of torque through Verge’s Donut 2.0 hub motor, which eliminates the need for chains or traditional transmissions.

The company claims the bike can add around 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes using a fast charger, with some versions capable of a full charge in about five minutes.

Verge also says the battery is designed to last the lifetime of the motorcycle with minimal degradation.

While the announcement has generated strong interest, some experts remain cautious due to the lack of independent testing.

Even so, a production-ready solid-state battery motorcycle could mark a turning point for electric two-wheelers.
