I like the Verge and thought they have a nice looking motorcycle...... but I don't believe the hype around the battery. The best explanation I've seen about it, is its a large capacitor rather than a battery.
Until I see it charge up with the speed its supposed to and give the range, and they actually produce the battery I'll say the claim is rubbish, just more silly hype that does more harm than good. If it did work as advertised I'm sure they would have shown a video proving it charging at a fast charger.
Still think the bike is cool though.
Yes this. From trusted sources it's not a battery pack but super capacitors.
There's a few issues with super caps. Range and they lose charge with time (like filling your bike with petrol and finding someone has syphoned it overnight 😀)

Also note that EV bike torque figures are at the wheel. So a 25:1 final drive ratio is included as a multiplier, for example
