Verge Motorcycles has achieved a new milestone as its TS Pro electric motorcycle entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest distance travelled on a single charge by an electric motorbike. The journey covered a total of 311 kilometres, completed entirely on public roads in real-world traffic conditions across London.
The record-setting attempt took place on 22 March, with riders Sam Clarke and Sara Sloman taking alternating shifts every hour to 90 minutes throughout the 16-hour trip. The route was confined to areas within London’s M25 ring road, and included diverse traffic situations such as congestion, stoplights, and pedestrian crossings. According to Verge, the journey was conducted without any battery charging along the way.

Verge highlighted that the record was achieved using a mass-produced version of the TS Pro, without any modifications or optimisations for testing conditions.
