Paris Olympics themed limited edition e-bikes by DAB Motors spice-up the highly competitive market

Paris 2024 Olympics is nearing the penultimate stage, as the US and China again dominate the prized spots. Perhaps the perfect time for DAB Motors to release their Olympics-themed DAB 1α electric motorbikes. This Peugeot Motorcycles owned French brand has made deep inroads in the two-wheeler EV market and these five themed e-bikes reflect their prowess.

The electric motorbike brand celebrates the spirit of the ongoing Olympics by interpreting the five rings of the event with five different bikes. These are created by their service branch which goes by the name DAB Custom Studio. The color code of the Olympic rings is represented in the sports-oriented version of the DAB 1α.

Designer: DAB Custom Studio

Using the motorbike as the canvas, the limited-edition collection dubbed ‘A la gloire du sport’ represents blue for surfing, green for tennis, yellow for basketball, red for boxing and black for skateboarding. Lucky clients who’ve pre-booked the first production versions of the e-bike can give their rundown of the version they’ll prefer and the unique DAB 1α is delivered as per their liking. DAB Motors’ founder Simon Dabadie chose these five sports to represent the rings in the form of these cool motorbikes. We imagine, these are his favorite sports from the event and the final creations by the design team are impressive.

The freedom of the blue variant is perfect for surfers as it gets a front luggage rack and surfboard rack. The bespoke surfboard mounted on the right side carries the DAB branding. It has a saddle finished in wetsuit-style neoprene and special off-road beach-ready tires that have silver forks. In fact, the brand’s roots are in the coastal city of Biarritz, so this version is a homage to the company’s inception.

For Djokovic fans the green and white version is perfect. It comes with a tartan seat, a racket holder on the left side and a rack on the front to carry balls. The brown tires with white spokes stand out and the DAB 1α adapts a completely different personality in this attire.

The more Gen-Z-oriented black version represents the fun of skateboarding in the city streets. This model has carbon bodywork, BMX handlebars foam and hand-painted graffiti. For a robust character, the bike gets crash pods, a tubular protection structure and a skate rack to stash a skateboard.

The fighting spirit is represented in the red and black with gold accents on the suspension rods of the boxing edition. Saddle on this one has a pair of boxing gloves to kick in a fight and represents the tough culture of the golden era.

Finally, the Yellow edition represents the resilience of the basketball game and the connection to street culture. This one comes with a side pannier to hold the ball or your sporting kit. The vibrant shades also represent the hip-hop culture associated with the popular game.
