F1 racing two-time world champion Mika Häkkinen has designed the signature model of a new electric superbike in collaboration with Verge Motorcycles. One hundred signature models will be produced. Häkkinen is a member of the company’s advisory board and is also one of the company’s investors.

The luxury superbike will have a range of 350 kilometers (approx. 217.48 miles) and a fast-charging time of 35 minutes. In addition, it features an integrated rim motor inside the rear wheel.

The bike features carbon fiber fairings and a unique ceramic surface treatment that protects against scratches, the company says. Full black shock absorbers and details combined with dark grey and silver surface elements complete the look.
