A Revolution in Motion
DAB Motors, the French electric motorcycle pioneer now part of the Peugeot Motocycles Groupe, unveils the DAB 1αX— a striking evolution of its award-winning predecessor, the DAB 1α. Sculpted for both the street and the trail, the 1αX is not just an electric motorcycle. It is an EV reimagined as a cultural icon. Built for pleasure, purpose, and power, the 1αX invites a new generation of riders to explore what freedom feels like in 2025.
A Blacked-Out Bold Statement
The 1αX lives at the intersection of design, freedom, and cultural relevance. Its all-black silhouette is minimal yet muscular, a bold nod to the purity of dirt bikes. From the raised carbon fiber fender to the Pirelli knobby tires, every line is intentional.
“Dirt bikes taught me purity — lightness, purpose, nothing extra. That mindset shaped every DAB project. The 1αX brings it to the surface.”
— Simon Dabadie, CEO and Chief Design Officer
Off-Road Influence, Street Style
Inspired by the raw essence of dirt bikes, the 1αX taps into an off-road legacy reclaimed by riders, designers, and musicians alike. From runways to music videos, this design language is globally recognized. The 1αX channels that cultural power into an electric motorcycle built to move through space with style and meaning.

Every 1αX is handbuilt in France using premium, sustainable materials. Components like the upcycled Airbus carbon fiber bodywork and the repairable battery system reflect DAB's ongoing commitment to responsible design.
Customization: Make It Yours
Through the DAB Custom Studio, riders can personalize every detail — from color palettes to finishes and upholstery. Each 1αX becomes a bespoke reflection of its owner, an EV motorcycle that transcends the category.
Cultural Impact: Where Design Meets Motion
One year after the DAB 1α redefined electric motorcycling, the 1αX returns to push boundaries even further. Its silhouette was first seen in early design studies and a standout collaboration with David Koma. Now, what was once an artistic vision becomes a production model.
