    I literally don’t believe it. If anyone mass produces solid state batteries it’s not going to be some company you’ve never heard of. It’s going to be LG, Samsung, et all, and if they’re not doing it, there’s probably a good reason.

      I don’t think these people are making the battery. Battery manufacturers are still the ones manufacturing the batteries. Verge will buy from them and integrate it into the bike. The reason I guess other automobile and battery companies have not yet started to do it is because SSB tech is not ready for mass production in a financial viable way. A niche 40k euro bike doesn’t have such cost constraints.

        Yeah the company that makes them is called “Donut” so my point stands.
