Did we mention that the smartphone naming convention of Pro, Ultra, Max, et cetera has not only arrived in the automobile world, but also in motorcycles? Verge Motorcycles started doing that last year with its TS Ultra, and now, it and the regular TS are joined by the Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle.
The new Verge Motorcycles TS Pro is not quite a series with the rest of the TS electric motorcycles. It is kind of an “update,” or so we read. Anyhoo, even if it is a series, it is not uncommon that it includes numerous updates, especially if it is a “Pro” model.
The Verge Motorcycles said these updates elevate the technical features and user experience to a whole new level, along with an aesthetic that blends perfectly into Cyberpunk 2077.
At the heart of this “Pro” evolution is the brand’s patented Donut Motor 2.0, now 50% lighter than before but still capable of delivering an earth-warping 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft!) of torque. The lighter motor means better efficiency, control, and stability, or, in human terms, it makes you grin like an idiot every time you twist the throttle.
The bike makes the 0–60 mph (0–96 km/h) sprint in just 3.5 seconds. Meanwhile, its 20.2 kWh battery offers up to 217 miles (349 km) of range, and if the situation demands, a quick 15-minute coffee stop will earn you 60 miles (96 km) of juice, so you can get back on the road ASAP.
The design looks like a cyberpunk fever dream realized in metal and matte finishes. Verge clearly spent time listening to riders, fine-tuning the suspension, damping, and 25-degree riding posture for more comfort. It’s a machine that looks as intimidating as it is ergonomic.
The TS Pro also runs Verge’s Starmatter platform, which sounds like something out of a sci-fi MMO, but it’s really the bike’s digital brain. It integrates AI, sensors, and OTA (over-the-air) updates—yes, your motorcycle now gets software updates like a phone and EV. Also, like a phone, it learns your riding habits, monitors performance, and keeps the experience fresh without needing a wrench.
Weighing in at 507 pounds (230 kg), it’s fully DOT-compliant for U.S. roads with upgraded lights, turn signals, and a foot brake, because not everyone wants their futuristic superbike to be too illegal.
All in all, the Verge TS Pro is part motorcycle, part design statement, and part Black Mirror episode. It’s an electric superbike that makes gas engines feel like relics.
The new Verge TS Pro, which was unveiled at the International EICMA motorcycle show in Milan today, is available to order with a starting price of €29,900, or from US$29,900 in the United States.
