First breaking cover in 2018 as the RMK E2 before later being rebranded to its current name, the Verge TS Ultra is the epitome of an envelop-pushing motorcycle design, combining a sleek naked bike platform with an advanced EV powertrain, and a hubless rear wheel. Despite the already cutting-edge nature of its TS Ultra, Verge has now revealed that it has returned to the drawing board in order to deliver an even more state-of-the-art electric two-wheeler that now benefits from the addition of a multi-camera and radar system.
Just like previous versions of the TS Ultra, the new, smarter version features a 150kW (201hp) motor that sends 885ft-lbs of torque to the bike’s hubless rear wheel, enabling the thing to do 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds. The bike’s electric motor draws from a potent battery pack that affords a 233-mile range and has the ability to revive a complete recharge in as little as 25 minutes. Exceptional cornering and stopping abilities are also made possible through the addition of best-in-class suspension and braking hardware — courtesy of Ohlins and Brembo, respectively. Other highlights that come standard include heated grips, cruise control, and a locking onboard storage compartment with an integrated charging port.
What really makes the bike special — and what separates it from prior versions of the TS Ultra — is its new bevy of onboard tech. The new model build’s on the Starmatter software and intelligence platform that Verge first debuted late last year. On top of automatic over-the-air updates, advanced sensor technology, and moto-specifric artificial intelligence, this cutting-edge system now Laos benefits from a Human-Machine-Interface. It doesn’t end there, as the bike has also been bestowed with half-a-dozen onboard cameras, plus front and rear-facing radar units, blindspot assistance, extended spatial awareness, and a bevy of hazard warnings. Also new for 2024 is the TS Ultra’s new tank-mounted display unit. Best of all, customers that have ordered previous iterations of the bike will automatically receive the newly-announced smart features.
Starting at $44,900, the Verge TS Ultra Smart Motorcycle can be configured on the company’s site and is available for order now, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Q4 of 2024.
