Among all of the machines debuted at CES 2023, one in particular has been making bigger headlines than even we anticipated – and if her figures don’t do it for you, how about the fact that the wheel is her motor?

Hubless wheels have been around for a hot minute (since 1989, actually), they’re nothing new – but Verge’s decision to go hubless with her new TS/TS Pro/TS Ultra isn’t the only reason why we’re drooling.

The new Finnish bike is officially the world’s first hubless electric rim motor, and she sports 885ft-lb of torque, 201hp and up to 375km of range – all mad specs to match her apt 540lb weight, which apparently renders her quite nimble in handling.

Add to this her fast-charge specs (25 minutes) and the brand’s clever last-minute integration of down-force winglets, and all that’s left to gawk at is the price tag: A whopping $44,900 USD.

Close your mouth, we’re not a codfish; if you wanted something under $30,000 USD, Verge’s option for slightly less-powerful variants could allow you to fork over as little as $26,900-$29,900 USD, plus taxes; with a $1,050 deposit – in fact, AutoWeek tells us that your first Verge could be scheduled or delivery by as early as the end of this year.

What do you think? Have the Finns nailed it?
