Solid-State Battery Motorcycle: Verge TS Pro Claims 370 Miles of Range

You’ve heard the solid-state battery hype for cars. Now a solid-state battery motorcycle wants a piece of that dream, with numbers that sound like a cheat code for range anxiety.

Finnish electric bike maker Verge says the Verge TS Pro is set to use a solid-state battery through a partnership with Donut Lab. Verge claims up to 370 miles of city range, plus the kind of “stop-and-go” charge story that makes gas riders do a double take: 186 miles of range in under 10 minutes with “NACS fast charging,” and a 0–80% charge in about 25 minutes on CCS fast charging.

It’s also not pitching a slow science project. Verge lists 201 hp, 738 lb-ft, and 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds. That’s real performance on paper. The same page also notes the bike’s range hasn’t been calculated under U.S. rules yet, which matters if you want apples-to-apples numbers.

What Verge Says the Solid-State Pack Delivers

A lot of the buzz here comes down to the “solid-state” part. Traditional lithium-ion packs use a liquid electrolyte. Solid-state designs swap in a solid electrolyte, and that change can support higher energy density and different safety tradeoffs. The basic battery anatomy is explained well in the DOE battery overview.

Verge’s story leans on Donut Lab’s claims too. In its CES announcement, Donut Lab says its solid-state battery tech targets up to 400 Wh/kg and even throws out a “full charge in 5 minutes” line in the release. That’s straight from Donut Lab’s CES battery announcement, and it’s exactly why you should keep your believer brain on a leash until independent testing shows what’s real on a charger, in heat, in cold, and after a year of use.

Range estimates, charge rates, and cycle life often look clean in a press release. Real-world charging gets messy fast, especially once pack temperature, charger limits, and software come into play.

My Verdict

This solid-state battery motorcycle sounds like the right idea aimed at the right pain point. Motorcycles don’t have the packaging luxury of a big SUV pack, so density and charging speed matter even more.

Treat the big numbers as a trailer, not the movie. If Verge ships production bikes that hit even most of these claims in independent tests, it’s a real moment for electric two-wheelers. Until then, it’s a watch-list story, not a shopping list item.
