Finnish electric motorcycle manufacturer Verge Motorcycles has revealed the limited-run Mika Hakkinen Signature Edition. Limited to just 100 units, each of these electric motorcycles costs 80,000 euros (Rs 71.48 lakh).
The Verge Mika Hakkinen Signature Edition sees the firm join hands with Finish F1 legend and national hero Mika Hakkinen. The two-time F1 world champion, who is also an investor in the company not only put his signature on the bike but also helped with the design.
Based on Verge Motorcycle’s TS Pro motorcycle, the Mikka Hakkinen Edition features a dark grey and silver dual-tone finish. This paint scheme is reminiscent of the ones painted on the McLaren Formula 1 racecars he drove to victory in 1998 and 1999.
The suspension is painted black, and there are carbon fibre details that pay homage to the Finnish great’s motorsports history. The seat features two different types of leather and the Mikka Hakkinen Edition also sports a thin film ceramic coating to help keep scratches at bay.
The Verge Mikka Hakkinen Signature Edition’s party piece is its hubless motor which pushes out 136.78bhp and a mind-bending 1,000Nm of peak torque. This allows the limited-run electric bike to sprint from 0 to 60 miles/hour (96.5km/h) in just 3.5 seconds.
The motor of the Mikka Hakkinen Signature Edition is powered by a 20.2kWh lithium-ion battery pack that allows the electric motorcycle to cover a range of 563km on a single charge. The battery supports 25kW DC fast charging and takes 35 minutes to fast charge the bike.
To help the 245kg Mikka Hakkinen Edition come to a halt quickly, the bike has been fitted with Brembo 4.32 four-piston callipers with two 230mm Galfer discs at the front. The rear wheel is braked by a single 380mm Galfer peripheral disc with Verge’s own four-piston rear callipers.
The Verge Mikka Hakkinen Signature Edition rides on 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 120/70 R17 (front) and 240/45 R17 (rear) tyres.
