Verge Motorcycles unveiled the world's first production electric motorcycle with a solid-state battery at CES 2026. It packs 33.3kWh for a range of 370 miles (about 595km), supports 10-minute rapid charging, and starts at $34,900. Shipping is expected in Q1 2026.
Looking at the spec sheet, the figure 595km gets my pulse up — and 10-minute fast charging on top of that. The combination of two proprietary technologies, rim-drive motor and solid-state battery, is irresistible. Compared to the old generation of EV bikes, this is a different tier of technical composition entirely. $34,900 is pricey, but as a premium for getting a world-first, it feels justified. Still, proven mass-production deliveries matter first.

If a full charge in 10 minutes is real, that might just cure electric skepticism.
The real question is whether Japan actually has the infrastructure to support that 10-minute charge.
An electric that goes 370 miles would handle touring with ease - I want one.
$34,900... about 5.5 million yen? How many liter-class superbikes is that worth.
If you tell yourself you're paying for the future, it feels cheap (wishful thinking).
33.3kWh for 595km is impressively efficient - if that 10-minute charge claim is real, it's a monster.
That spec is on paper - it comes down to real-world numbers and charging infrastructure.
They call it the world's first mass-produced one, but I doubt solid-state actually ships in real volume.
Solid-state with this kind of range - it finally feels like it's actually arrived.
