If you’ve been anywhere near your socials lately, you’ve probably seen the buzz around J Balvin’s custom electric motorcycle making its debut in Tuscany.
This striking, one-of-a-kind electric bike is the result of a collaboration between French manufacturer DAB Motors and Balvin’s creative studio VVT (Vita Veloce Team).
At his 40th birthday celebration at the stunning Castello di Velona estate, Balvin was genuinely surprised when the bike was unveiled in front of a star-studded crowd that included Jimmy Butler and Sofia Vergara. Though everyone came for the party, this unexpected reveal quickly stole the spotlight — and for good reason.
Design That Breaks the Mold
This isn’t just an electric motorcycle; it’s a moving sculpture. Based on DAB Motors' 1α platform, the bike’s design feels like it’s jumped straight out of a futuristic anime — sleek, aggressive, and completely unapologetic. The matte red finish is contrasted by bold graphic stickers, fully enclosed wheels, and a streamlined windshield, giving it an almost kinetic art vibe.
The design team leaned heavily on digital 3D modelling to bring this rapid three-week concept to life, creating something that’s as much a statement piece as a machine built for the road. Those fully enclosed wheels aren't just for looks—they add to the bike’s otherworldly silhouette and hint at aerodynamic efficiency.
Tech Meets Sensory Experience
Beyond its looks, the bike plays with your senses in clever ways. Special sound-absorbing foam in the wheels generates unique low-frequency tones as you ride, turning the sound of motion into part of the experience. LED light strips embedded around the wheels add a captivating glow, instantly transporting you into a Tron game..
Performance Specs
Top speed: Around 130 km/h (81 mph)
Charging time: About 3.5 hours via home outlets or Type 2 charging stations
Rider: Single seat only — no pillion passenger here, reinforcing its sporty, sculptural focus.
Other details like battery capacity and range remain under wraps for now, but the partnership with DAB Motors means it’s riding on proven electric tech.
Why This Matters
This project marks a fresh direction for Balvin’s creative studio VVT, expanding from music and fashion into vehicle design — and they’re clearly not playing it safe. The collaboration shows how electric motorcycles are becoming canvases for innovation, blending culture, art, and cutting-edge technology.
Final Thought
J Balvin’s electric bike isn’t just a ride; it’s a bold statement. It challenges the idea of what an electric motorcycle should look like and how it should make you feel. For us lot, craving something fresh, this is proof the electric scene has a heart, still thumping with creativity and surprises.
Ride safe, folks
