What Makes Verge’s TS Ultra an Exceptional Electric Motorcycle

[@daveshoraceway]

Hats off to Verge for this insane design ~ cheers from the USA ~ Harley World

[@isaacgraff8288]

I want one.

[@jamesdombroski6727]

I have a Toyota Tacoma and I love how it tells you when people are next to you or behind you. That being said it could be the best motorcycle in the freaking world but no one is going to pay 40K+ unless you're rich. They would have better luck selling trikes or some type of three wheeler for the older market that has a lot more money. Of course this is my opinion I am not a motorcycle market specialist.

A monthly subscription based battery for ALL vehicles is incoming in the next 5-10 years.

[@RamJamSky]

Nah… assuming you mean battery packs that include the battery management system… this is a competitive advantage for individual companies… unless one company licenses it to other companies, this will not happen

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

No it’s not.

[@kancelas]

@@BlaineRush-b8h Hello, bot. But just in case, you're not: Companies aren't being punished for excessive monetization, please explain how this isn't going to get worse? Every company and their mother doesn't have to have a subscription payment model, but that doesn't mean they aren't going to try.

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

@@kancelas The vehicles itself? Sure there will be subscription and robot taxis, and there is already leasing currently. I strongly doubt the battery itself will be leased though.

[@kancelas]

@@BlaineRush-b8h Renault, Nissan used a subscription based payment model, and Nio is still using it. Renault and Nissan eventually changed into a owned battery model, meaning, no subscription. 3 Companies had a subscription based payment model on multiple car models as recently as 2019. So it's not a stretch to imagine a world where EV batteries are subscription based.

I love the idea of electric bikes but I hate the fact that the default design is always the naked street fighter look.... Like what's up with that... Give us a traditional street bike sleek and beautiful!

[@NishanCasseem]

What if e-bike manufactures start shipping them with their own helmets, with a HUD, all the safety features, and more 🤔

[@eilois]

go to India and south east asia, secure funding and subsidies from government to produce it locally.

[@Seeker_of_sense]

I know someone who returned this bike because it had too many issues, incl. charging. Also, I think it looks too plasticy and cheap considering the steep price.

[@ninounino4552]

44k ?!!! for this toy , electric car and bikes should be sold less than gas ones , this proves that they dont care about the environement

[@VLuee]

They want us to go electric for five times the price. Smh

[@TChalla007]

@@VLuee Mo, you guys want the newest and expensive EV and Camry prices. There are affordable car and bikes, you're just not interested in them. Just like when women say, where are all the good men, good men are out there they just don't want them.

[@RobDaKid87]

​@TChalla007 My Honda Rebel 1100 was 8k. I love it. Haven't found any bike even close to 40k worth it's price. Most of them don't even have cruise control, which I do.

[@KentBuchla]

None of what you tried to convey makes any sense.

[@northshorepressurewashing]

Those handlebars and front end setup doesn’t look like an appealing design

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

Doesn't make sense whatsoever, 1200N/m and I looked at their website power is only 150kW, that mean the back wheels spin at only 900RPM. I would bet torque is around 350N/m to be consistent with similar electric machines. You have Engineering in your channel name and yet you post this no questions asked, that's sad.

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

You realize it’s a direct drive hub motor right? The rpm is going to be way lower than a gear motor or engine.

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

@@BlaineRush-b8h Of course, ratio is 1:1. The engine has to spin 2000rpm+ to get to the 124mph top speed. Try to find a similar spec motor online... why are they 4X everyone else for torque? Why does one of their motor have similar torque to the COMBINED output of the three much bigger motors inside a Tesla Plaid? Please answer

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

@@Iseenoobpeoples Probably because the motor is extremely wide and has a huge diameter. In addition it has a hollow construction with cooling fins on the entire inside. This allows for much better heat dissipation.

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

@@BlaineRush-b8h The 3 Tesla motor combined are 5+ times wider. Tesla motor is much heavier (lower impedance) produce much more kW, yet 3 motors barely have more torque than the 150kW motor here. The specs don't make sense and the only dyno run we have is edited.

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

More diameter = more torque. The diameter is much larger.
