Dimentro DP-Pro Review — The World’s First Semi-Solid-State Battery E-Bike

Electric mobility evolves fast, but true breakthroughs are rare. The Dimentro DP-Pro changes the landscape instantly: it is the world’s first production e-bike equipped with a semi-solid-state battery — not a prototype, but a commercial model that customers will begin receiving in 2026.

We tested an early production unit travelling across Europe, and the results show just how disruptive this technology is.

A New Era of Battery Tech

Semi-solid-state batteries sit between conventional lithium-ion and full solid-state systems. They replace liquid electrolyte with a gel-based medium, offering several advantages:

• higher energy density

• significantly better impact on safety

• improved thermal stability

• faster charging

• longer pack lifespan

The DP-Pro uses a 96V 120 Ah (10.7 kWh usable) semi-solid pack. It’s no longer removable, and internal storage space has been sacrificed — but the gains far outweigh the losses.

Price & Availability

Dimentro plans to deliver customer units in early 2026.
Pricing starts from €7,900 across most EU countries — an aggressive strategy, undercutting competitors like Zero, LiveWire, and Energica while delivering roughly double the range.

The test unit we used is identical to the production bikes, with only minor software refinements expected.

Range & Efficiency

Range is where the DP-Pro embarrasses almost every competitor.

• 250 km at 80 km/h — confirmed by internal full-cycle testing

• Real-world results reportedly even better in ideal conditions

Rivals simply cannot approach these numbers with today’s lithium-ion tech.

The semi-solid-state chemistry allows Dimentro to deliver long, stable discharge curves without overheating or voltage sag, translating to consistent performance during long highway rides.

Performance & Riding Dynamics

The DP-Pro weighs 185 kg, yet feels lighter thanks to its well-balanced chassis and centrally mounted battery.

Performance figures:

• 10.8 kW continuous

• 20 kW peak

• 55 Nm torque

• 0–50 km/h in 1.74 seconds

• Top speed: 130 km/h limited (up to 160 km/h physically achievable)

Acceleration at urban speeds is instant and forceful — ideal for city commuting, overtaking, and quick maneuvers.

ABS and traction control are standard, giving the DP-Pro premium safety credentials out of the box.

Charging & Safety

Semi-solid-state batteries don’t just last longer — they are inherently safer.

Benefits:

• dramatically reduced fire risk after impact or puncture

• cooler operation under load

• stable performance from 100% down to a low state of charge

Charging performance:

• 0–80% in 1.5 hours

• Home charging and public charging are supported

Competitors achieve similar charging times, but with far smaller battery capacities, making the DP-Pro far more practical for long-distance use.

Tech & Usability

The DP-Pro includes a modern feature set that aligns with premium electric motorcycles:

• 7″ full-colour TFT smart display

• Android Auto integration

• NFC keyless start

• Remote unlock via smartphone

• Traditional key as fallback

• CAN bus communication system

It’s a well-polished package — not a tech demo, but a complete, real-world product.

Verdict — A Breakthrough That Actually Matters

Dimentro has delivered something extremely rare: a technology leap that is affordable, scalable, and ready today.

The DP-Pro’s strengths:

• world-first semi-solid-state battery in a production e-bike

• roughly 2× the range of direct competitors

• fast charging despite a large capacity

• safe, stable battery chemistry

• strong, smooth performance

• aggressive pricing

• premium tech features

It feels like the first true step toward mainstream solid-state EVs — not only for e-bikes but for cars as well.

Dimentro isn’t just experimenting. They’re executing.
