Dab Motors 1αX Electric Scrambler: a flying Frenchman with a dirt-crosser soul and a mind from outer space

Forget the hum of gasoline – the Dab Motors 1αX Electric Scrambler proves that electric motorcycles are not just silent alternatives, but artistically accomplished machines with space ambitions and dirty desires.

Yes, we miss the hum of engines and that raw vibration between your legs. But when you look at the new DAB Motors 1α X Electric Scrambler, you start to wonder if the only true adventure is the one that stinks of octane. This electric beauty from France takes us through the off-roads of the future with a design that would make an architecture studio jealous, and materials that are more at home in the cabin of an Airbus than on a muddy trail. So let's take a look at why this silent Scrambler left us speechless.

Dab Motors 1αX: The spirit of the scrambler – no petrol gigging

The most obvious proof that this is a serious off-road machine is Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, which replaced the tarmac-oriented Diablo Rosso. These rough-profiled tires immediately say: “Take me where tarmac loses its meaning.” A high-mounted front mudguard made of recycled carbon (yes, the one from Airbus!) and fork guards round out the new look – rugged, yet still elegant.

Despite the off-road upgrade, the Dab Motors 1αX retains the minimalist and almost sculptural silhouette of the original 1α model. Monocoque frame It hides a 3.4-liter compartment (lined with Alcantara!) that you would be happy to have in a prestigious car.

Dab Motors 1αX: Luxury where you'd expect only mud

Although scramblers are usually more raw and utilitarian, it is DAB 1α X full of surprisesThe seat and drawer are upholstered in real Alcantara, a material found in Ferraris, Lamborghinis and… now apparently on dirt tracks. It’s an interesting combination of dirty pleasure and a touch of prestige.

The suspension is the result of collaboration with the Italian Paioli – 46mm USD fork and adjustable rear shock with gold TIN coating Not only do they look great, but they also provide comfort on both asphalt and gravel.

Carbon from space that protects your motor heart

The most futuristic part of the story? Collaboration with Airbuswhich supplies recycled carbon composite, used for engine guards and mudguards. So the mudguard part of the Dab Motors 1αX motorcycle is derived from airplanes cutting through the clouds. If that's not a modern approach to sustainability, then we don't know what is.

Electric torque that catapults you into the future

Dab Motors 1αX electric motor offers 395 Nm of torque on a bike – which is crazy, considering that there is no lag with electric motors. In addition, it develops 25.5 kW (34.6 hp) power at its peak. Nothing revolutionary in terms of horsepower, but that's not the point. The point is the instant response that's essential for true scramblers - whether you're cutting through traffic or climbing a muddy slope.

Battery with capacity 7.1 kWh enables up to 150 km range (93 miles) – enough for a weekend adventure, but not for the Dakar. Interesting: the battery can be repaired and recycled, which addresses one of the main concerns about electric vehicles. It charges in about three hours, using the built-in charger, without the need for an external box.

Dab Motors 1αX: Nitrous button for nostalgic gamers

As a cherry on the cake, 1α X has a special blue “Nitrous” button, which is a tribute to the game Need for Speed Underground 2. No, it doesn't give you actual N2O, but it does provide temporary acceleration, when you need it most. Another little thing that shows that DAB knows how to combine playfulness with technical perfection.

The following driving modes are also available: Eco, Road, Sport and even Reverse for easier maneuvering. Brakes contribute Brembo, with a radial four-piston caliper system at the front and a single-piston at the rear – both controlled via Peugeot's dual-channel ABS.

Born in tradition, made by hand

Each Dab Motors 1αX is hand-assembled in the historic Peugeot factory in France, which has been operating since the 1890s. Instead of mass production, it takes an artisanal approach: each unit is numbered and unique, which adds value and a story to each motorcycle. Although it is an e-moto of the future, it has a heart that beats to the rhythm of a century-old heritage.

Conclusion: Exclusive electric escapism for those who dare more

The Dab Motors 1αX Electric Scrambler is not just an electric motorcycle – it is a work of art that combines French design, Italian technique, space materials and adventurous spiritIs it weird that it seems like something Elon Musk would imagine after a glass of champagne in Montmartre?

For $16,725 (approx. €14,900) you get a vehicle that will make you stand out anywhere – from city cafes to muddy trails. And ironically: it is cheaper than the more road-oriented 1α model, which costs $19,900. That means you get more for less – and with the option of further personalization through DAB Custom Studio.

For petrol lovers, there remains a slight ache in the heart (or ears) because there is no sound. But for anyone looking for a new approach where aesthetics, durability and functionality meet in the field, the DAB 1α X is the clear answer. Electric has never been so cool – and so muddy.
