I don't think these people are making the battery. Battery manufacturers are still the ones manufacturing the batteries. Verge will buy from them and integrate it into the bike. The reason I guess other automobile and battery companies have not yet started to do it is because SSB tech is not ready for mass production in a financial viable way. A niche 40k euro bike doesn't have such cost constraints.

Yeah the company that makes them is called "Donut" so my point stands.
