Meet the DAB 1αX: An Electric Scrambler for Street and Trail
Unveiled during this year’s Milan Design Week.
DAB Motors has unveiled its latest creation — the DAB 1αX — at Milan Design Week 2025. The French marque, now under Peugeot Motocycles Groupe, introduces this electric scrambler as a dual-purpose evolution of its award-winning DAB 1α.
Blending dirt bike DNA with street-ready style, the 1αX is built on the same lightweight, minimalist chassis as its predecessor but adds Pirelli knobby tires, a raised carbon fiber front fender and fork protectors for off-road credibility. Its all-black finish and design-forward stance nod to urban aesthetics while honoring off-road heritage.
“Built for the street, born from dirt bike memories,” says CEO and designer Simon Dabadie. “It’s the 1α unfiltered.”
Handbuilt in France, the 1αX delivers 25.5 kW of peak power and 291 lb-ft of torque at the wheel, offering a silent yet exciting ride. A 72V battery — recyclable and repairable — powers up to nearly 100 miles of urban range, with a full charge achievable in under 3.5 hours. Performance tech includes Paioli adjustable suspension, Brembo brakes, regenerative braking and a Nitro boost button. Premium touches like an Alcantara seat and upcycled Airbus carbon fiber panels round out the package. Customization is also key, with the DAB Custom Studio allowing riders to personalize every detail.
The DAB 1αX is available now for €14,900 EUR (approximately $16,350 USD), via DAB Motors’ official site.
