The heavy metal band KISS teamed up with the Australian e-bike manufacturer Vallkree to launch the KISS X Vallkree limited-edition e-bikes. The two bikes are the 'Drifter' and the 'Scrambler,' each of which boast premium price tags and performance to match. The two bikes were released just in time for KISS' final tour 'The End of the Road,' where the bikes will be on display.
The Drifter and Scrambler feature the same engine options of 250-watt or 500-watt, as well as the same maximum range of 50 km/h. The bikes reach a top speed of 25 kph which is restricted in order to adhere to local regulations. The bikes mostly differ in visual style, resembling two different types of motorcycles.
The design is the most noteworthy part of this bike collection, though, as the hull of each bike features references to KISS and heavy metal with fiery designs, matte black frames, and a graphic that celebrates the final tour from the band. Vallkree stated that it has "made Kisstory" with this collaboration by honoring the legendary band.
