Born in 2018, Dab Motors hit its stride when it embraced electricity as a fuel source in its Concept-E bike. A few short years later, French auto giant Peugeot purchased the company, helping evolve that concept bike into the 1α production model.
Now, that bike is getting another permutation — one that fans of off-road adventure will surely love. The Dab 1αX transforms the already impressive electric moto into a dirt-eating scrambler.
Dig up some dirt
As its name suggests, the Dab 1αX isn’t a huge departure from its sibling, the Dab 1α. In fact, they share most of the same DNA.
That includes its lightweight, minimalist chassis, meaning the bike weighs a mere 125 kilograms (about 275 pounds). It even retains some of the original’s most opulent features, like an Alcantara leather saddle and lined glove box.
However, it does have a few noteworthy changes. The most obvious is a tire swap — the Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires have been swapped out for knobby Scorpion Rally STRs. That means that while the bike is still a demon on the streets, it can also devour the dirt of the trails.
