When you think of innovation in motorcycle construction, big names from Japan, Italy or the USA may come to mind first. However, a company from the far north of Europe is currently shaking up the scene: Verge Motorcycles. Founded in 2018 and based in Tallinn, Estonia, the Finnish company Verge has set itself the goal of redefining motorcycling – electrically, sustainably and with a design that could hardly be more futuristic.
A bike that changes everything
The heart of the Verge motorcycles is a technical masterpiece: a patented hub motor that is integrated directly into the rear wheel. This design is not only a real eye-catcher, but also brings tangible benefits:
More space for the battery – and therefore more range.
A lower center of gravity – for better handling.
- Fewer moving parts – which improves maintenance and efficiency.
This technology clearly sets Verge apart from the competition and shows that e-mobility can not only be sustainable, but also exciting.
From vision to reality: the Verge TS
Verge took to the big stage for the first time in 2019 at the MP19 trade fair in Helsinki with the RMK E2 prototype, which later became the Verge TS. The response was overwhelming: over 500 pre-orders for the prototype alone! The series version was launched in 2021 – with an improved design, more power and a clear statement: the future is electric.
Verge not only receives support from technology fans, but also from celebrities: former Formula 1 world champion Mika Häkkinen is not only an investor, but also a brand ambassador.
Strong partner for strong performance: Phoenix Contact
A motorcycle is only as good as its components – and Verge relies on “Made in Germany” quality for its charging infrastructure. CCS type 2 charging inlets from Phoenix Contact have been used since the start of production. These ensure:
- Reliable and ultra-fast DC charging
- High safety standards
Verge CEO Tuomo Lehtimäki praises the cooperation: “Phoenix Contact’s flexibility and service quality were crucial for us in the early project phase. The deliveries were always reliable and provided optimum support for our production.”
Entry in the Guinness Book: The TS Pro sets standards
A real highlight in the company’s still young history: the Verge TS Pro has set the Guinness World Record for the longest ride on an electric motorcycle on a single charge in real London city traffic. Riders Sam Clarke and Sara Sloman have impressively demonstrated what is possible with modern e-mobility.
Phoenix Contact was also on board here – with its CHARX connect vehicle charging inlets, which make charging an e-bike possible in the first place.
Conclusion: Verge is at the forefront
Verge Motorcycles is more than just a start-up – it is a symbol of change in e-mobility. With innovative technology, sustainable aspirations and strong partners such as Phoenix Contact, the company shows that electric motorcycles are not just an alternative, but can be the better choice.
If you want to experience the future of motorcycling, you should definitely take a closer look at the Verge TS Pro – for example at Phoenix Contact’s trade fair stands in Finland and around the world.
