World's first solid-state battery-powered electric motorcycle achieves groundbreaking 370 miles of range

The first-ever solid-state battery-powered motorcycle has been unveiled at CES, and it offers around 370 miles of range and seriously speedy charging times.

There’s been a lot of buzz about solid-state batteries lately, with several carmakers rushing to be the first to introduce the ‘holy grail’ of EV technology. 

But Verge Motorcycles has managed to pip them all to the post, unveiling the world’s first solid-state battery-powered motorcycle. 

The next-generation batteries will be introduced to its TS Pro motorcycles, and could revolutionize the motorbiking industry.

The groundbreaking solid-state battery-powered motorcycle is a world first

Verge Motorcycles already set a Guinness World Record for the longest journey by an electric motorcycle back in April. 

Its TS Pro bike spent a mammoth 16 hours traveling around London on a single charge. 

At the time, Verge teased that the record was ‘just the beginning’ for the TS Pro, and now the company has revealed what’s coming next. 

This week, the company announced it would be the first manufacturer to put an all-solid-state battery into production ‘in the coming months’. 

Verge made the announcement at CES 2026, where it also shared some juicy details about the next-generation battery. 

The batteries will be used in its TS Pro motorcycles and will give riders up to 370 miles on a single charge. 

Not only that, but the new batteries also allow fast charging, meaning you can add about 186 miles onto the bike in just 10 minutes. 

Verge worked with Donut Lab to develop and build the solid-state batteries, which are ‘designed to last the lifetime of the bike’.

The bike is available to order now, and here’s how much it costs

While many carmakers have promised solid-state batteries at some point in the future, Verge says its motorcycles are ready to go into production now and are available to order today. 

Customers in the US can expect first deliveries in the early part of this year. 

“While the advantages are obvious, the future of solid-state batteries has been a moving target constantly delayed when companies working in electrification are asked about when they will become a reality,” CEO of Donut Lab Marko Lehtimäki said. 

“At Donut Lab, our answer on solid state batteries being ready for use in OEM production vehicles is now, today, not later.”

The TS Pro bike will be available with either a standard or long-range battery, offering 217 miles and 370 miles, respectively. 

As you might expect for cutting-edge tech, the motorcycles don’t come cheap.

The standard model costs $29,900, while the long-range version will set you back $34,900.
