Verge’s Electric Motorcycle range record falls short of real-world validity

Record achieved under unrepresentative conditions raises questions about transparency in EV marketing.

Finnish motorcycle manufacturer Verge Motorcycles recently made headlines by claiming a new world record for electric motorcycle range. The TS Pro model reportedly achieved an impressive 193 miles (310 kilometres) on a single charge — a feat officially recognised by the Guinness World Records. However, a closer examination of the test conditions casts significant doubt on the real-world relevance of the achievement.

Verge states that the TS Pro is powered by a 20.2 kWh battery, with a projected urban range of 217 miles and a highway range of 124 miles. However, these estimates are based on ideal conditions: low-speed, stop-and-go urban traffic and a steady highway speed of 56 mph. The more realistic EU combined range — which accounts for variable acceleration and deceleration on a chassis dynamometer — places the model’s capability at just 119 miles per charge.

According to reporting from InsideEVs, the record was achieved by riding at an average of only 12 mph through the streets of London. This speed is significantly below what a typical rider would experience under everyday conditions. The route and style of riding were optimised to maximise efficiency, disregarding key factors such as aerodynamic drag, rider weight, and natural terrain variability.

This approach — often referred to as “hypermiling” — involves deliberately conservative riding techniques to artificially extend a vehicle’s range. While technically legitimate for achieving high numbers, such methods fall short of reflecting real-world usage.

The key question is whether presenting such outcomes as records serves the interests of consumers and the industry. Promoting figures that fail to represent realistic performance risks misleading potential buyers and undermining trust in an emerging market still fighting for public confidence.

The Verge TS Pro is undeniably a compelling piece of engineering and design in the electric motorcycle space. But the manner in which this record was achieved may do more harm than good to the brand’s reputation. Transparency and honesty in technical communication are essential to fostering credibility and long-term adoption in the electric mobility sector.
