Verge pushes e-motorcycles to the limit with record-breaking ride
Electric vehicle manufacturer Verge Motorcycles broke the Guinness World Record for the longest journey by an electric motorbike on a single charge, traveling more than 192 miles.
The record-breaking trek was on the Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle in London on March 22. Verge Motorcycles Chief Marketing Officer says the accomplishment was a demonstration of Verge’s unique blend of technology and proprietary architecture and adds that the company has not finished innovating.
“This is first and foremost a symbol of setting bold goals, reinforcing trust, and being able to show the reliability and performance capabilities of our solutions in a concrete way,” she says. “It is good to shift into even higher gear from here and head towards new opportunities for putting our bikes to the test.”
Developed by a team of experienced EV specialists, the 192-mile trip lasted for just over 16 hours and took the riders through suburban areas inside the London M25 ring road.
Despite Verge’s unmatched single-charged ride, the self-acclaimed “Tesla of motorcycles” has made significant strides in expanding its charging station infrastructure. In 2023, just before opening its first retail locations in the U.S., it was the first in the industry to adopt Tesla’s NACS charging connector.
The ride was monitored by a precise tracking system, ensuring its battery was not charged at any point during the trip. Vehicle management specialists Webfleet collected data for the performance, and the whole project was captured by the content production company Generate Media. The Automobile Association was on hand to ensure the bike was operable throughout the journey.
