With the Verge TS, the start-up aims to offer the ultimate electric experience on two wheels. The unique combination of futuristic design and hubless rear-wheel motor truly sets the motorcycle apart from the crowd. Whether at a red light, on a country road, or on highways, the bike particularly attracts attention with its exceptional rear-wheel suspension.

The "hole" at the rear – the integrated rim motor

With a power output of 80 kW (109 hp) and a torque of 1000 Nm, the motor is the industry's first fully integrated electric motor. Thus, the maintenance, which is already reduced with electric vehicles, is expected to be a thing of the past. The motor has no chain, no belt, no oils, and no filter. With a regulated top speed of 180 km/h and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in less than 4 seconds, there's more than enough electric power available.

In-House Battery

Verge is a pure electric motorcycle brand. The bikes are designed from the ground up to be electric. With a weight of 247 kg, the combination of lightweight materials and a low center of gravity makes the Verge TS a stable highway cruiser, but also agile enough for city and country roads. The 20.2 kWh battery is manufactured in-house by Verge. In 15 minutes, the Verge TS draws enough energy at the DC charger for 100 kilometers, and with the onboard charger, the bike can be fully charged in 4.5 hours. The Finns specify a range of 300 kilometers, and 200 kilometers at brisk highway speeds. The fun is not exactly cheap: starting at 25,000 euros, the sports model is now available for order.

What does this mean?

Motorcycles and electric drives go together exceptionally well. Most bikes are not used for long-distance travel, so range plays only a secondary role for two-wheelers. Instant torque and acceleration make the Verge TS a top athlete.
