We love to see an award-winning design go from prototype to production, and DAB Motors' DAB 1a electric motorcycle is coming to life as a limited-edition run of 400 bikes.

It’s been nearly three years since the DAB Motors CONCEPT-E caught our attention with its raked back monocoque styling and tankless electric-powered performance. The E-motorcycle’s weird-but-cool tablet-like front headlight housing made itself as much a talking point as Rivian’s distinctive and divisive ovular truck headlights. Designed as an urban commuter, the electric 2-wheeled bike was conceived of as “an object, not just a traditional motorcycle? ? relegated to existence as a concept we could only hope would make it to production one day. That moment has arrived as the updated, upgraded, and renamed DAB 1? makes its debut.

The bike’s tablet-style headlight panel is still there, alongside the retro-cool 2.8? LCD display screen, 3.4 liter glove compartment, and optional Quadlock wireless charger.
