At the forefront of the 2026 tech event, Finnish electric motorcycle manufacturer Verge Motorcycles made waves by unveiling the world’s first commercial electric motorcycle equipped with solid-state battery technology. This groundbreaking battery system boasts superior characteristics compared to current battery technologies.
Solid-State Battery Electric Motorcycle: Verge TS Pro
The chosen model to feature this advanced technology is the Verge TS Pro. In collaboration with Donut Lab, Verge offers two solid-state battery options for the TS Pro, with capacities of 20.2 kWh and 33.3 kWh. The most impressive feature is the range per charge, reaching up to 349 km and 595 km, respectively, for the two battery options.
According to the introduction, when charging at a power of 200 kW using the NACS charging standard (the same standard used by Tesla vehicles), the bike can charge enough for a 299 km range in just 10 minutes.
The Verge TS Pro belongs to the premium electric motorcycle segment, commanding a high price tag.
In terms of performance, the Verge TS Pro retains its signature hubless motor design for the rear wheel. This electric motor generates 137 horsepower and a maximum torque of 998 Nm, enabling the bike to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
Remarkably, despite the revolutionary battery technology, Verge has maintained the starting price at $29,900 (approximately 760 million VND), unchanged from the previous version.
Decoding Solid-State Batteries
The core difference between solid-state batteries and current battery types lies in the electrolyte composition. In traditional batteries, ions move through a liquid or gel electrolyte to generate electricity. Solid-state batteries, however, replace this liquid layer with a solid compound, typically made of ceramic, glass, or hard polymer.
The battery of the Verge TS Pro is positioned at the front, similar to the location of the engine and fuel tank on equivalent gasoline motorcycles.
This physical change brings three decisive technical advantages:
1. Absolute Safety and Fire Resistance
Current batteries with liquid electrolytes are highly sensitive to temperature and prone to fire or explosion in case of leakage or short circuit, as the electrolyte solution is flammable. In contrast, Donut Lab’s solid-state electrolyte used in the Verge TS Pro is non-flammable and can withstand extremely high temperatures. This eliminates the risk of “thermal runaway,” the biggest concern for electric vehicle users in the event of a severe collision or overcharging.
2. Energy Density and Charging Speed
The solid-state battery in the Verge TS Pro achieves an energy density of 400 Wh/kg. Thanks to its stable molecular structure, the battery can accept high-intensity electrical currents without internal damage, significantly reducing charging times compared to conventional batteries. With the same volume, solid-state batteries store more energy, making the bike lighter while extending its range.
3. “Eternal” Lifespan
One of the most astonishing specifications announced by Verge is the battery’s durability, rated at up to 100,000 charge cycles. While conventional Lithium-ion batteries begin to degrade after approximately 1,000 to 2,000 cycles, Donut Lab’s solid-state battery can operate reliably throughout the vehicle’s lifespan. Theoretical calculations suggest that, with daily charging, this battery pack could last over 270 years.
This completely eliminates concerns about costly battery replacements after a few years of use.
