Who would have thought that a leisurely ride could set records? This electric bike just accomplished that | Carscoops
The bike maintained an average speed of 12 mph while navigating inner-city London, which contributed to its setting of a Guinness World Record 18 hours ago, reported by Brad Anderson.
The Verge TS Pro achieved a distance of 193 miles on a single charge.
It is powered by a hubless motor generating 137 hp and an impressive 738 lb-ft of torque.
This electric motorbike has a substantial weight of 540 lbs, or 245 kg.
The striking all-electric motorcycle known as the TS Pro from Verge has recently established a Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by an electric motorbike. Over 16 hours, it covered 193 miles (310.6 km) around London, concluding the journey with 7% battery charge remaining.
Electric motorbikes have not yet gained the same popularity as electric cars, partly due to their heavy battery packs, which pose a challenge for two-wheeled vehicles. Nonetheless, the TS Pro demonstrates the possibility of creating a powerful electric bike with a practical range and relatively manageable weight.
The TS Pro features a single hub-less electric motor at the rear, delivering 137 hp and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Verge claims it can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds, allowing it to match the speed of certain high-performance sports cars. Weighing in at 540 lbs (245 kg) may be considerable for a bike of its size, but it remains reasonable. The bike is also advertised with a riding range of 217 miles (350 km).
To test the true range of the TS Pro in real-world conditions, Verge enlisted two motorcycle influencers to ride the bike around inner London for 16 hours at an average speed of 12 mph (19 km/h). The bike concluded its journey having traveled an impressive 193 miles (311 km), thereby setting a new record.
It is worth mentioning that riding at slower speeds significantly benefits an electric vehicle like this one. If Verge had attempted the record at highway speeds, the TS Pro likely would not have been able to cover nearly as much distance.
