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 the whole lot from historic sports activities 1000’s of years previous to new sports activities just some many years previous. The competitions are fascinating, as are the issues people can get their our bodies to do. A sure electrical automobile firm’s founder was additionally impressed by the Olympics (earlier than they began, I ought to say), and he had an excellent concept.

The French firm, DAB Motors, rolled out 5 Olympics-themed electrical motorbikes just a few 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 (crimson). 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 among the finest basketball video games I’ve ever seen, and Steph Curry even stated it was among the finest he’d ever performed in — then the ultimate towards France virtually outdid that sport. The ending 3 minutes of a fairly tight closing, 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 happening right here after I went to the corporate’s web site to attempt to discover extra info and get my info 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 solution to the DAB Motors Fb web page, noticed a publish about them, learn it fastidiously, and realized what was happening. “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 Custom Studio part of its web site and ordering possibility. As is written there, “Introducing the DAB Customized Studio (DCS), the place each DAB bike turns into a canvas for private expression. DCS empowers DAB house owners to transcend the usual design, integrating their passions and pursuits to create a really distinctive trip.

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