DAB Motors, a French electric motorcycle manufacturer, has collaborated with fashion designer David Koma to release a limited-edition series of electric motorcycles. This partnership was shared with the world during Paris Fashion Week 2024, showing how fashion design can be mixed with vehicle engineering to create an innovative mode of transportation sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
Not only is innovation celebrated in this partnership, but the designers will also be able to see their personal design philosophies cruise the world’s roads. The motorcycles highlight the best elements of each party: DAB Motors’ innovative engineering and Koma’s edgy design.
The DAB x David Koma edition includes the modification of the famous DAB 1α motorcycles, all assembled by hand in DAB’s facility in France. The collection offers three colour options—vivid blue, matte black, and standout chrome—and each motorcycle comes with a custom saddle designed by Koma, inspired by his own padded jackets and accessories.
“The partnership with David Koma is the realisation of our vision to elevate motorcycle design into the realm of haute couture. Each bike is an individually numbered masterpiece, reflecting the precision and artistry that both DAB and David Koma are known for.”

Each unit is priced starting at €19,900 and is available for pre-order, with deliveries scheduled for February 2025. The limited production of six units is expected to attract interest from motorcycle enthusiasts and the fashion industry, something already noticeable following the series’ debut.
