As the EV landscape evolves, solid-state batteries are emerging as the holy grail for longer range and faster charging without compromising safety. The Verge TS Ultra isn’t just another electric motorcycle—it’s a modular powerhouse built for the future of two-wheeled mobility. Orders are open today, with U.S. deliveries slated for Q1 2026.
What Makes the Verge TS Ultra a Game-Changer in Electric Motorcycles?
The Verge TS lineup, including the base TS Pro and premium TS Ultra, draws from years of innovation in EV technology. At its core is the patented Donut Motor—a hubless rear-wheel electric motor that delivers an insane 737 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque directly to the road, eliminating chains and reducing maintenance. This design not only enhances cornering stability but also gives the bike its signature futuristic aesthetic, turning heads on highways and backroads.
Building on our previous coverage of cutting-edge EV advancements, like the Tesla Roadster’s 2026 unveiling as Elon Musk’s “swan song” for manual driving [internal link: /tesla-roadster-2026-unveiling-elon-musks-swan-song-for-manual-driving-epic-supercar-set-to-redefine-performance-evs/], the Verge TS Ultra pushes boundaries in solid-state battery integration. Unlike traditional lithium-ion packs, this bike’s battery from Donut Lab boasts an energy density of 400 Wh/kg—outpacing Tesla’s latest 2170 cells at around 300 Wh/kg.
Key Specs: Performance That Rivals Supercars
Here’s a breakdown of the standout specifications for the Verge TS Ultra, optimised for thrill and efficiency:

| Energy Density | 400 Wh/kg | 400 Wh/kg |
| Charging Speed | 200 kW peak; 80% in <10 minutes | 200 kW peak; 80% in <10 minutes |
| Cycle Life | 100,000 cycles (no 80% limit) | 100,000 cycles (no 80% limit) |
| Temperature Tolerance | >99% capacity retention (-22°F to 212°F) | >99% capacity retention (-22°F to 212°F) |
| Safety Features | Non-flammable; no rare earth materials | Non-flammable; no rare earth materials |
These specs position the Verge TS Ultra as a top contender in the long-range electric motorcycle segment, surpassing competitors like the Zero SR/F (223 miles range) and Damon HyperSport (200 miles).
Revolutionary Solid-State Battery: Safer, Smarter, and More Efficient
The star of the show is the all-solid-state battery, a first for production motorcycles. Developed in partnership with Doughnut Lab, this 33.3 kWh pack isn’t just denser—it’s tougher. It withstands extreme temperatures without degradation, supports unlimited full charges over 100,000 cycles, and won’t ignite even if damaged. For riders in harsh climates, from snowy Midwest winters to scorching Southwest summers, this means reliable performance year-round.
No rare earth materials means a greener footprint, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable electric motorcycles. As we explored in our EV News category [internal link: /category/ev-news/], innovations like this could accelerate EV adoption in the U.S., where motorcycle sales hit 500,000 units in 2025 alone.
Ultra-Fast Charging with Native NACS: Plug into the Tesla Ecosystem
Forget hunting for proprietary chargers—the Verge TS Ultra features a native NACS port, Tesla’s North American Charging Standard. With peak speeds of 200 kW, you can grab an 80% charge in under 10 minutes at any Supercharger station. This compatibility opens up thousands of miles of seamless travel, making long-haul rides feasible for cross-country adventures.
Imagine charging alongside a Tesla Cybertruck—pure EV synergy. It’s a nod to the interoperable future of electric vehicles, much like the Cybertruck’s recent European approval we covered last month [internal link: search for “Tesla Cybertruck Secures First European Approval”].
