Verge Unveils California Edition E-Motorcycle F innish electric superbike manufacturer Verge Motor- cycles unveiled the company's latest innovation at the L.A. Auto Show, the brand-new California Edition electric motorcycle. Verge Motorcycles said it "is proud to release an electric bike that combines elegant, futuristic styling with world-class perfor - mance." Incorporating Verge's pat- ented hubless motor design and technology, the California Edition is specifically designed for the "finest electric riding experience in the motorcycle category." The bike's motor is in the rear wheel, which Verge says allows for a larger battery, resulting in a lon - ger range and more stable and smooth riding experience. Verge claims its bikes are the "fast- est and most advanced electric motorcycles on the market." The $30,900 California Edi- tion is powered by Verge's TS Pro platform, producing 1000 Nm of torque with a top speed of 124 miles per hour and a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. The battery, Verge says, has a charging time of 35 minutes and a range of up to 217 miles on a single charge. "The California Edition stands out in a few ways compared to previous Verge models," said Verge Mototcycles Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer Ville Piippo. "First, the colorway is inspired by the California Pop - py's brilliant orange color. The fairings on this bike also sport a dual-tone finish of orange and black and have custom Califor- nia Edition branding on the side. This limited-edition motorcycle also comes with a large touch- screen HMI that is customized to support special visuals each time the bike is turned on. We are confident that the California Edition will turn heads out on the open road, and we're very proud of the work our team put in to make this possible." CN WIND IN THE P24 Finnish manufacturer Verge unveiled its new $30,900 California Edition electric motorcycle with its patented hubless motor design.
