I’m not going to lie — I acquired completely sucked into the Olympics this yr. It’s been an excellent enjoyable couple of weeks of all the pieces from historic sports activities 1000’s of years outdated to new sports activities only a few many years outdated. The competitions are fascinating, as are the issues people can get their our bodies to do. A sure electrical car firm’s founder was additionally impressed by the Olympics (earlier than they began, I ought to say), and he had a superb concept.

The French firm, DAB Motors, rolled out 5 Olympics-themed electrical motorbikes a number of days in the past. Every of the 5 had been designed to symbolize one of many 5 colours of the Olympic rings, and every of them was customized round totally different sports activities. Particularly, they had been reportedly the founder’s (Simon Dabadie’s) 5 favourite sports activities within the 2024 Paris Olympics: tennis (inexperienced), basketball (yellow), browsing (blue), skateboarding (black), and boxing (purple). As a tennis nut, I’ve to say I used to be fairly happy to see the basket stuffed with tennis balls. And on the basketball entrance, the boys’s semifinals between the USA and Serbia was probably the greatest basketball video games I’ve ever seen, and Steph Curry even stated it was probably the greatest he’d ever performed in — then the ultimate in opposition to France nearly outdid that sport. The ending 3 minutes of a fairly tight remaining, when Curry nailed 4 more and more spectacular 3-pointers to clinch the gold for USA in his first Olympics, was really one of many prime highlights of the Olympics for me. What an individual and participant! What a sport!

Anyway, let’s get again to the electrical motorbikes.

Earlier than I’m going additional, I’ve to say that I struggled to determine what was actually occurring right here after I went to the corporate’s web site to attempt to discover extra data and get my information straight. I searched throughout the web site and couldn’t discover something about these customized Olympics motorbikes, not even a press launch. I began to marvel if the information I had seen on it was pretend. However then I discovered my approach to the DAB Motors Fb web page, noticed a publish about them, learn it rigorously, and realized what was occurring. “Which bike would you select? DAB Customized Studio has taken the DAB 1α to the subsequent degree with these 5 distinctive customized bikes, every designed as a tribute to our favourite athletes,” DAB Motors wrote.

The factor is, DAB has a Customized Studio part of its web site and ordering possibility. As is written there, “Introducing the DAB Customized Studio (DCS), the place each DAB motorbike turns into a canvas for private expression. DCS empowers DAB homeowners to transcend the usual design, integrating their passions and pursuits to create a really distinctive experience.

You’ll be able to actually customized design one among DAB’s electrical motorbikes, and the Olympic-themed designs had been principally simply examples of that.

With that defined, let’s get again to the cool Olympic bikes.
