E-mobility without compromise: Verge brings Donut Lab solid-state batteries and breathtaking performance to the road

"It's beautiful and powerful, but how many kilometers does it do?" Many times you've asked yourself this question while looking at the latest touring or sport electric motorcycles. Now Verge has the answer: solid-state batteries. Range and charging speed are no longer a problem.

Verge is based in Finland and has launched into producing ultra high-performance electric motorcycles with the ambition of changing the rules. It's not just a Manufacturer, but a laboratory of incredible innovations. The most sensational is the electric motor housed in the rim, a solution that offers a range of advantages: from mass distribution to design, since it “frees up” all the space that on an internal combustion motorcycle is occupied by the engine. Last November at EICMA the TS Pro (in the opening photo) captivated electric-enthusiast riders.

They are made with a solid electrolyte, making them much safer and more efficient than lithium-ion batteries made with liquid or gel electrolytes. This means greater range, shorter charging times, and increased safety. But there are other advantages, too. For one, better stability across temperature changes and no risk of fire. In addition, solid-state batteries do not require the use of rare earths, also avoiding geopolitical risks tied to supply.

With the adoption of this battery pack, Verge will be able to offer its customers the TS Pro with an extended range of up to 600 kilometers, with charging times of just a few minutes. This motorcycle uses the CCS system, so it can easily connect to ultrafast charging stations which are now widespread in Europe as well, including at all highway service areas.

The solid-state batteries used by Verge are developed by Donut Lab, the same tech atelier that designed the motor inside the rear wheel of the TS Pro. "We are ready to introduce to the electric mobility market a truly exceptional technology, of which Verge’s motorcycle is an excellent first example," says Ville Piippo, CTO of Donut Lab. "This is just the beginning: our battery technology can be used in all types of vehicles, from motorcycles to passenger cars, from trucks to robotics and stationary energy storage".
