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 \u201cworld\u2019s first\u201d production motorcycle equipped with solid-state batteries, promising a massive leap in range and charging speed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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 \u201ccoming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solid-state batteries have long been considered the \u201choly grail\u201d 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).<\/p>\n

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 \u201cconcept\u201d phase and going straight to production.<\/p>\n

There has been serious progress made by solid state battery companies in the last 18 months, making it more likely to see commercial applications by the end of the decade, but if true, this is a leapfrog moment.<\/p>\n
