This electric motorcycle claims 370 miles and a 10-minute charge
370 miles on a motorcycle and a 10-minute charge is either the future or a beautifully lit lie told under CES lighting.
Verge rolled up to CES 2026 like “gas is over, grandma,” teasing a solid-state battery bike that allegedly does ~370 miles of range and guzzles electrons in ~10 minutes. That’s the two main reasons people don’t buy EVs—range anxiety and charging purgatory—getting taken out back.
If this is real at scale, it’s not “cool new bike,” it’s a demolition derby for the whole gas-bike identity economy. You know, the one where dudes spend $28,000 to cosplay as a leather-bound thunderstorm and then act offended when you mention physics.
Verge calls it a solid-state battery breakthrough.
Translation
“Please stop asking us about cost, durability, winter performance, and whether this thing turns into a very expensive paperweight after 500 fast charges.”
The Number
10 minutes — that’s less time than it takes a dealership to finish lying to your face about “market adjustments.”
Meanwhile, if they pull it off, oil companies lose a tiny slice of their soul, charging networks get put on notice, and every legacy motorcycle brand has to decide if they’re building the future or just selling nostalgia with a financing plan.
And for you, the reader? If fast-charging bikes become normal, “commute” stops meaning “paying for gas like it’s a subscription to sadness,” and starts meaning “your landlord raises rent because you look happier.”
The Bottom Line
If Verge isn’t bluffing, gas bikes are about to become vinyl records with exhaust fumes.
TLDR
Verge showed a solid-state EV motorcycle at CES 2026 claiming ~370 miles range and ~10-minute charging, which—if it’s not vaporware—basically bullies gas bikes into retirement.
