Valentino Rossi is a must in the world of motorcycles, and he is also passionate about everything related to motorsports. But the future father of the family and the next retiree also wants to stay connected at a time when being in the flow means pining for electric propulsion. So Vale will also have his bike with a battery…
Spread the word, Valentino Rossi will have their own electric bike. There will even be two exclusive VTTAE models in collaboration with MT Distribution. The Doctor, through his company VR | 46 Racing Apparel , will launch a new product on the market with its image and personal brand. To be exact, it will put its own line of electric bikes on sale under the name VR46 E-MTB.
The MT Distribution brand is a specialist in the field of development and production of high-end electric mobility products. These are mainly scooters and electric bikes.
Two super exclusive models dubbed by Valentino Rossi
There will be two versions of the bicycle. The first will be a 'Premium' version with high-end components. Companies such as Bosch (batteries), Pirelli (tyres), RockShox (fork), SRAM (drivetrain and brakes), Fulcrum (wheels), Öhlins (shock absorbers), Crankbrothers (pedals, wheels, pumps, tools and accessories), Technomousse (tyres), Ochain (component that eliminates the pedal feedback effect of the bike), as well as MT Distribution itself (frame), are involved in the project.
The second will be a limited edition of only 46 numbered units and with an exclusive certificate signed by the star of the MotoGP Valentino Rossi. This “limited edition” VR46 eMTB will feature carbon components.
No technical specifications of the bikes have been provided, as both will be officially announced at the upcoming EICMA. The Milan Motorcycle Show will be held from November 23 to 28 at the Fiera Milano exhibition center in Rho, just outside Milan. This will be the 78th edition of this annual motorcycle event, the most important in the world for two wheels. The coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of the Milan event in 2020.
