"draws design references from Tron: Ares and Drake's private airplane to give shape to its bi-monthly series of concept DAB Motorselectric motorcycles named Thursday Experiment. Each concept reimagines the motorcycle as a sculptural object with design cues from fashion, motorsport, art, and architecture and always using the same base model, which is the DAB 1. There are seven Thursday Experiment motorcycles now in the DAB Motors series, and the most recent one falls in showing the release of the movie Tron: Ares."
"Dubbed Experiment 007: 80s Futurism, the vehicle looks at digital aesthetics from early computer films of the 1980s. The design transforms the DAB 1 into a visual study of light, geometry, and movement, with red glowing lines tracing the shape of the motorcycle while the surfaces reflect artificial illumination. The front and rear forms are rebuilt to support better airflow, with new aerodynamic panels replacing the original ones."
"Take the Experiment 005: Drake Airplane, which takes its concept from the custom design of Drake's Boeing 767 airplane. This project connects music culture and personal branding to the visual form of the concept two-wheeler, as the body uses light blue paint with gold elements, chains, and metallic trims across the chassis. These parts link the design to jewelry and private aviation interiors, while the seat structure copies the pattern of private jet upholstery."
DAB Motors produces a bi-monthly Thursday Experiment series that modifies the single base model DAB 1 into varied sculptural concept motorcycles. Seven experiments exist, each integrating design cues from fashion, motorsport, art, and architecture. Experiment 007: 80s Futurism applies early computer film aesthetics, adding red glowing lines, reflective surfaces, rebuilt front and rear forms, and new aerodynamic panels to enhance airflow. Wheels are redesigned to emphasize motion, featuring hollow tire forms without visible mechanical parts. Experiment 005: Drake Airplane adapts private jet motifs with light blue paint, gold elements, chains, metallic trims, and upholstery-patterned seats to evoke aviation interiors.
