Estonian manufacturer Verge Motorcycles has officially commenced production of the TS Pro, marking the debut of the world’s first production electric motorcycle equipped with solid-state battery technology. Developed alongside Finnish partner Donut Lab, the motorcycle promises to solve traditional electric vehicle limitations through ultra-fast charging and enhanced safety. With a range reaching up to 600 kilometers and the ability to charge to 70% in under ten minutes, the TS Pro represents a potential shift in the high-performance electric mobility sector, moving beyond the prototype phase into the hands of consumers.
The heart of the Verge TS Pro is its solid-state battery, a technology that replaces conventional liquid or gel electrolytes with solid materials. This shift significantly improves energy density and fire safety while extending the overall lifespan of the power unit. While global automotive giants have spent years developing solid-state prototypes, Verge is among the first to successfully transition this technology into a commercial production platform.
Customers can choose between two primary battery configurations. The standard model features a 20.2 kWh battery providing a 350-kilometer range and 100 kW peak charging. The high-performance long-range variant upgrades the capacity to 33 kWh, extending the travel distance to 600 kilometers and supporting 200 kW peak charging. Both versions are powered by the Donut Motor 2.0, which generates 100 kW (137 hp) of power and a massive 1,000 Nm of torque, paired with a refined rear-end design for improved responsiveness.
Recent testing by Donut Lab highlighted the exceptional durability of these solid-state cells. Even when subjected to structural damage under high temperatures, the battery avoided thermal runaway and fire risks, maintaining stable operation despite reduced capacity. In terms of efficiency, the TS Pro can charge from 10% to 50% in roughly five minutes and reach 70% in just over nine minutes, rivaling the refueling times of internal combustion engines.
The Verge TS Pro starts at $29,990 in the United States, with the long-range battery package requiring an additional $5,000. The motorcycle also features the proprietary Starmatter software system, which includes four distinct riding modes and supports continuous improvements through over-the-air updates. Deliveries for the earliest reservation holders are expected to begin within the first quarter of the year, while new orders are slated for delivery toward the end of the year.
