Summary

  • J Balvin has unveiled his first electric motorcycle, a collaboration between his creative agency, VVT, and DAB Motors.
  • The design features fully enclosed wheels, a sleek windshield, a deep matte red body, and all-over graphic sticker decorations.

Last month, J Balvin celebrated his monumental 40th birthday with a casino-themed bash in Tuscany’s rolling vineyards that was attended by the likes of Daddy Yankee, Sofia Vergara, and Zion. The star of the night, however, was not an A-lister but a one-of-one, bright-red, electric motorcycle, the first to come from Balvin’s creative studio VVT (Vita Veloce Team), which he founded last year with designer Mattias Gollin.

Designed in collaboration with DAB Motors, the bubbly bike’s arrival at the affair was quite the shock for Balvin. “He knew the DAB x VVT bike was coming,” said Gollin and Simon Dabadie, founder of DAB. “But he had no idea when it would be ready. We kept the manufacturing of the motorcycle completely secret. Rolling it out at Castello di Velona, surrounded by friends—that moment felt special.”

With AI-powered design tools and 3D-modeling capabilities, the prototype was brought to life in just three weeks. “Part sculpture, part anime, and fully rideable,” the bike was built on DAB’s 1α platform with fully enclosed wheels, a sleek windshield, a deep matte red body, and all-over graphic sticker decorations — all in a bid to create a machine that looks like it came straight out of a popular Japanese animated movie.

From a technical perspective, the two-seater motorcycle has a top speed of 130 km/hr, with a zero to 100% charging time of three hours and 30 minutes (compatible with both home sockets and Type 2 stations). The design also produces a multi-sensory experience, with sound-absorbing foam on the wheel covers and rims that creates a low-frequency tone, as well as atmospheric LED light strips in the wheels.

“It’s cinematic, but functional, we wanted to build something that felt like riding through a dream,” Gollin and Dabadie concluded.
