Verge Electric Motorcycles With Solid State Batteries? “Sounds Too Good to Be True”

Verge Motorcycles, the Finnish electric motorcycle manufacturer known for its futuristic hubless rear wheel design, is claiming another massive first for the industry. The company announced today that it is launching the “world’s first” production motorcycle equipped with solid-state batteries, promising a massive leap in range and charging speed.
The new technology, developed in partnership with Donut Lab, a company founded by the same people behind Verge Motorcycles, is being deployed in the updated Verge TS Pro, which the company says will be available to customers in the “coming months.”
Solid-state batteries have long been considered the “holy grail” of the EV industry. By replacing the liquid or gel electrolyte found in traditional lithium-ion batteries with a solid material, they promise significantly higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety (specifically, a near-zero risk of thermal runaway).
While major automakers from Toyota to Volkswagen have been teasing solid-state tech for years with timelines that seem to perpetually slip, Verge claims it is skipping the “concept” phase and going straight to production.
