The DAB 1α DeLorean: The Ride That Catapults Us into the Future!
Who hasn’t dreamed of channeling Marty McFly, wind blowing through your hair, speeding through time? For motorbike enthusiasts who have a passion for speed and an eye towards the future, DAB Motors has something special in store: a custom version of the DAB 1α, directly inspired by the legendary DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future. Unveiled on November 5th, this one-of-a-kind bike takes its design cues from Robert Zemeckis’s pop masterpiece as a tribute to the 80s and futuristic metal. Buckle up, we’re diving in!
Stainless Steel Fairings Oozing With 80s Vibes
If you’re a Back to the Future fan, you know the DeLorean DMC-12 made waves with its stainless steel body. DAB Motors leaned heavily into this concept for this special version of the DAB 1α, featuring a silver fairing that’s a direct throwback to the 80s. The result: a raw, cutting-edge look that’s impossible to ignore. With this bike, you’re guaranteed to stand out on the road, and you can bet the “wow” factor is through the roof!
In the movie, the DeLorean takes off into the adventure of time travel as soon as it hits 88 miles per hour. DAB Motors has locked in a speedometer at this iconic velocity, complemented by an “OUTTATIME” plate and a faux “flux capacitor” for a nostalgic nod. It almost feels like Marty and Doc Brown signed off on this ride. Hop on and get ready to embark on a journey to a different time-space continuum.
Mind-Blowing Details
DAB Motors has nailed down every detail to please the purists. From CNC-machined aluminum wheels to exposed wiring, this bike pays homage to the technical genius of the DeLorean. Add the side “DBMC” badges and vents reminiscent of Doc’s exhaust system, and you’ve got details that hit hard. Every glance reveals another homage, like pieces of a sci-fi nod puzzle.
An Electric Engine for an Eco-Friendly Ride into the Future
This special edition is above all a stylishly decked-out DAB 1α, but under the hood, it maintains the robust electric engine from the standard version. DAB Motors has fitted it with an 11 kW motor, and with its 7.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, you get a range of about 93 miles. Perfect for city cruises or short getaways.
Simon Dabadie, the head of DAB Motors, has always aimed to fuse technical prowess with design to create unique rides. With this DAB 1α DeLorean, it’s safe to say mission accomplished! Here, technology serves freedom and style. It’s not just about riding; it’s about experiencing something that gives you chills.
A Collector’s Dream: $30,000 for the DAB 1α DeLorean
That’s right, this special version won’t see mass production. If you want to get your hands on this gem, you’ll need to pony up the cash! DAB Motors quotes a price of around €30,000 for this extraordinary bike. Suffice it to say, it’ll land only in the garages of collectors and the most ardent enthusiasts. This price tag makes it a unique jewel in the world of custom electric motorcycles.
Marty’s fans will have to wait a while: DAB Motors is setting up a waiting list for those interested. It’s like booking a ticket to the future: there’s a wait, but the excitement builds as the day approaches.
