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\u2019s creative studio VVT (Vita Veloce Team), which he founded last year with designer Mattias Gollin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed in collaboration with DAB Motors, the bubbly bike\u2019s arrival at the affair was quite the shock for Balvin. \u201cHe knew the DAB x VVT bike was coming,\u201d said Gollin and Simon Dabadie, founder of DAB. \u201cBut 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\u2014that moment felt special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With AI-powered design tools and 3D-modeling capabilities, the prototype was brought to life in just three weeks. \u201cPart sculpture, part anime, and fully rideable,\u201d the bike was built on DAB\u2019s 1\u03b1 platform with fully enclosed wheels, a sleek windshield, a deep matte red body, and all-over graphic sticker decorations \u2014 all in a bid to create a machine that looks like it came straight out of a popular Japanese animated movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s cinematic, but functional, we wanted to build something that felt like riding through a dream,\u201d Gollin and Dabadie concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See J Balvin\u2019s first electric motorcycle, made in collaboration with DAB Motors, above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img
