If Tesla Made Electric Motorcycles, This Would Be It!

[@vergemotorcycles]

Thanks for sharing your experience with our bike! We hear it’s impossible not to smile on a Verge-consider it our secret feature. 😁 Glad to have you on this journey with us-ride on! 🏍️⚡

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Thanks for leading the way with developing these wonderful bikes! It really was superb

[@simonmcguire1988]

You had me sold, loved everything about the bike but 30k+ for a toy? I.e. weekends and fun to mess about on. Hoping the used market will be better value in a few years. It's not sticker shock, it's a smack down. Geniunely wish your company all the best and wanting it to succeed as you have a brilliant product.

[@michaelbreuker7338]

The used market is what I'm selling in at the moment. I bought mine (zero sr) back in 2016 for 28k. Now selling it for half that but I'm happy with that. @simonmcguire1988

Great bike. Except that the screen section on the front tank will funnel rainwater down right into the rider's seat with a waterfall effect thanks to the cut out, where a typical tank with its bulging shape would distribute most of that water away in different directions. Can get very uncomfortable, especially when travelling at speed in strong downpour.

Why have software updates? It's not like a computer, which needs access to the internet and therefore needs cyber security updates to stay safe. It's a motorcycle, it needs to go, stop and charge, and that's really all the software needs to manage. If that needs an update it means it wasn't right first time, which means it's dangerous and shouldn't be sold. The video says it will be used to add navigation. Firstly, I very much hope you've airgapped the software updates from the drive or charging system, or you just opened the bike up to being hacked, but secondly, why haven't you got this sorted already? It's not like navigation software doesn't exist. It's a 30k bike, can't you stretch for the same Google maps that's on my cheap smartphone?

[@richardmyers9323]

Saw one of these at the first fully charged show. Wasn’t allowed to ride one then. Amazing bikes, great bunch of guys. It still on my wish list ❤

[@TeslaJigsaw]

It's on my list too... right next to a Cybertruck, Cyberlandr and that nice house that Tesla show with solar roof & Batteries! 😂

[@cmw3737]

This sounds like we finally have a practical electric motorbike that can cover serious distances and quickly charge. They could lower the power and still be one of the best on the market. My worry with software driven tech is what happens when they go bust and no longer support it?

[@lyfebehyndbars9729]

I have a ZERO FX, and love it. I just wish it had a little more range, and access to Tesla fast charging. Something like this bike would be perfect for me, if it was a lot cheaper.

[@Jaw0lf]

Not a motorcyclist but what a brilliant thing, looks great and fantastic to see the technology they have been able to bring from what is available for our EV's.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

That hub-less, in wheel motor is an engineering work of art! Cracking bike 👍

[@timfulwell8472]

Been drooling over these for ages. But I just can’t make myself spend upwards of €30k on a bike.

[@michaelbreuker7338]

It was worth it back in 2016

[@PJWey]

Let’s go Dodgers! Plus wow! Once cars are all automated and safe riding this bike could be a safe option 😅

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Good point!

[@FFVoyager]

Very interesting. That's told me more about the bikes than I knew.

[@Joe4show]

My dream garage is, Robovan Cybertruck, verge motorcycle

[@aureliancozma251]

Super

[@cathodion]

Im really curious how all that unsprung weight in the rear wheel is going to affect it. But the range makes it a very usable highway motorbike at least.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

It felt like any other Superbike... just without the vibrations, noise, fumes, engine, clutch, gears & petrol tank. Handling & weight felt superb

[@waerlogauk]

I would have the same concern about the unsprung weight, but I see two points here first. This is a heavy bike so the unsprung weight ratio is maybe not so bad. Second, the motor is at the front of the wheel so closer to the swing arm pivot thus the unsprung weight effect is reduced.

[@cookiemonster2299]

I like that, hope there's an optional extra choice of a speaker with downloadable exhaust sounds and volume control 👍😁👍❤️🇬🇧

[@TeslaJigsaw]

The guy who took me out is getting a speaker fitted to his, with ACDC blasting out 🤘

[@cookiemonster2299]

@@TeslaJigsaw Dirty deeds and all that 😜

[@ericbraun4652]

Adding un-sprung mass the the rear wheel by installing the weight of the motor there is a bad idea. Lighter tires and wheels are the holy grail of gearheads worldwide.

[@jatigre1]

I'm still waiting for front /two wheel drive, particularly needed in rainy places, where you need to stop and go on a wet climbing surface, the rear wheel just skids sideways if you apply more power.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Never needed that personally. It would add an awful lot of extra weight too

[@ItsSeals]

This is good! But I do think 5-10 year w could see significant advancement in E-bikes

[@Channel323]

also check out Ryvid Athem, a great all electric motorcycle.

[@colinwiseman]

Evoke GT 6061 enters the chat... 150mph 30 mins charge to 80% 410 mile range I only mention this because it looks to be a similar price. I love my electric motorbike, but I want the Evoke.

[@volcaprojects8333]

I dont think that bike even exists outside their rnd lab yet, i wonder if it will hit the market as a road legal device, still cool specs tho

[@colinwiseman]

​@@volcaprojects8333boo. Please don't tell me I've been suckered 😮 I've been drooling over that bike for a while now.

[@tomblewomble3369]

Would like a bit more room for a passenger and an A2 software locked version.

[@ItsSeals]

Finally

[@alko_xo]

Is is like Fisker?

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Hopefully not.

[@batchint]

the harley version is located in kings road fulham I keep trying but 30 grand for 100 miles is not really enough

[@FFVoyager]

@@batchint the 'Harley' version is now branded the Livewire and is £23k for the One and £17k got the S2 DelMar.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Just 100 miles? 😬 That's less than ideal

[@batchint]

@@FFVoyager ….ok still an if or what though

[@batchint]

@@TeslaJigsaw … the dutch might have to find out how park bikes let alone electric bikes… because

[@charliefitdancefitness]

Awesome bike! No you can’t have one! 😉

[@TeslaJigsaw]

We'll seeeeeee 😬

[@penderic3415]

The rider position looks uncomfortable. And that big display screen on the tank cover will not age well.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

The riding position was like any other Superbike... but this had multiple footpeg positions which was nice. Most bikes are kept indoors and cleaned well so I don't think the screen would be a problem overtime

[@ElMistroFeroz]

I'll wait until it gets FSD.

[@penderic3415]

Optimus gets that one.

[@kevindelandrealty]

30K is to much to spend on a bike. I hope the prices will eventually come down.

[@TeslaJigsaw]

They will overtime. Still a small niche company that need to reach profitability at scale, just as Tesla achieved with time

[@Yorkshireasaurus]

Yes I was thinking the same. I’d never get that price past the wife?

[@TeslaJigsaw]

@@Yorkshireasaurus Just don't tell her 😂

[@JoshuaMcTackett]

Motorcycles have always been behind cars in tech and development. We’ve had electric bikes for a while but they’re either way too expensive like this, or garbage scooters that nobody gets any fun out of. For EV bikes I give it another 10 years

[@kevindelandrealty]

It's not a Tesla bike until it makes fart noises...

[@vergemotorcycles]

You never know - we might just add that as an over-the-air update some day 😅

[@oseaghin]

An abomination.

[@derekr1113]

0-60 in 3.5 seconds is very slow for a motorcycle. What an ugly mess that is. I didnt listen more but no doubt it is rip off expensive due to 'exclusivity' just dont break down as it will be scrap

[@TeslaJigsaw]

Most miserable reply of the day 🥇

[@bobbybishop5662]

The market for 30k bike is super small. The market for electric bikes is even smaller.

[@glike2]

20 kWh is still not enough for a full day of spirited riding through mountains Next generation battery technology to increase the battery capacity please 🙏 40 kWh minimum
