An electric motorcycle from Finland is currently causing a stir: The Verge TS Pro has set a new reach record.
The bike drove 193 miles, i.e. around 310 km, on a single battery charge – right through the heart of Greater London. At the end, there was even some remaining range left on the display.
Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle
The tour was driven by the two drivers Sam Clarke and Sara Sloman, who took turns. In total, the journey took over 16hWhat sounds spectacular on paper, however, takes on a different perspective when one takes a closer look at the framework conditions.
The average speed was about 20 km/h, which is perfectly normal in London's dense city traffic. This means that the conditions were quite ideal for maximum Reach – lots of stop-and-go, no long high-speed passages.
This is how far the TS Pro can go in everyday life
Officially, Verge provides several range figures for the TS Pro. At a constant Speed from 90 km/h shall 200 km In the more realistic, combined cycle of city and country roads, the range is about 190 kmAnd if you are driving comfortably in city traffic, with frequent braking and starting, you can, according to the manufacturer, even get up to 350 km manage – but with a driver weight of about 75 kg.
This performance is provided by a 20,2 kWh large battery. It is charged via direct current with up to 25 kW – not particularly fast, but sufficient for the intended use. After all: From 0 to 80% it takes 35 Minutes. AC charging is possible with 3,5 kW possible – perfect for the socket overnight.
Specifications and performance
The Verge TS Pro is not a lightweight, but it brings 245 kg a still acceptable weight on the road. The engine delivers a decent amount of power: 139 PS and an extreme torque of 1.000 Nm ensure a sprint time of 3,5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. What's special about it is that the drive is located directly in the rear wheel – a so-called in-wheel motor. This saves space, which the Verge cleverly uses for additional battery cells.
The TS Ultra goes one step further
For those who still don't have enough, there is the Verge TS UltraThis model brings 205 PS and 1.200 Nm onto the road. The battery grows to 21,8 kWh, which in the city has a range of up to 375 km allows.
