There is a moto electric that aspires to be a Tesla. Use cameras and radars with AI to avoid accidents. Verge Motorcycles presents the new generation of the TS Ultra, with a useful perception of the environment equipped with sensors and a renewed control panel. There are more and more innovations in the field of electric vehicles. They are including in their designs all kinds of cutting-edge technologies that break with the patterns of the automotive industry as we knew it.
In a revolutionary scenario, the initiatives of companies such as Verge Motorcycleswhich released the TS version a while ago, a moto electric that hid the motor in its rear wheel to achieve 300 km of autonomy.
Recently, the Finnish entity made an important announcement revealing the new generation of the TS Ultraits flagship model, updated with hardware y software to “guarantee the pilot a clear and informative overview” with built-in cameras, radars and an AI system with machine learning.
This vehicle, which aspires to be the new Teslahas an extra layer of security: Starmatter. It has six cameras and two high-resolution front and rear radars. A point that makes it the first in its category. Until now, no manufacturer had focused their energies on adding these features in a two-wheeler. Yes we had seen them before in cars TeslaFor example.
A motorcycle that could be on par with Tesla
“Verge “is making driving even smarter and safer, for example by improving the motorcyclist’s ability to observe the environment and the functions of the motorcycle with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning,” he explains. Marko LehtimäkiCTO of Verdethrough a press release.
“The new cameras of the TS Ultracombined with the update of software announced today, make it the first motorcycle in the world equipped with the sense of sight, which advises the rider while driving,” he declares.
This novelty is a significant step towards autonomous driving, something that has not yet reached motorcycles.
“Driving a two-wheeled vehicle also entails various restrictions and practical challenges that can cause safety risks,” the company points out. In either case, the helmet reduces the perception of the environment and the systems of the TS Ultra They analyze what is happening around them to warn the motorist of what is happening around them.
In its list of features, we find a larger screen on the top of the tank and includes for the first time the Starmatter Dashwhich intends to “revolutionize the way the rider interacts with the motorcycle.”
The new dashboard manages the main functions of the moto in a more “easier and intuitive” way and warns of possible dangers. In addition, it shows what was captured by the rear camera when the turn signal is used.
How much is the “Tesla” motorcycle worth?
Beyond the new features, which provide continuous 360-degree detection of the environment, the specifications of the TS Ultra They remain the same, with their 375 km of autonomy, their acceleration from 0 to 100 km in 2.5 seconds and their engine torque of 1,200 nM. The starting price of this amazing piece is 55.329 euros.
In a scenario in which the majority of manufacturers are looking for different alternatives for more sustainable mobility, this moto electric could be one more on the list. It adds features that many had not even imagined. Just when we thought that cars were the ones that got the most attention, the motorcycle arrives “Tesla” to snatch the reign from him.
