Nintendo Game Boy Bike Unveiled: The $16,500 Electric Motorbike

French company Dab Motors has introduced a limited-edition electric motorbike called the DAB 1α. This luxurious bike is priced at €14,900 (over $16,500) and heavily inspired by Nintendo's Game Boy Color.

Key Features:

  • Transparent Purple Bodywork: The entire body is made of fully translucent plastics to reveal the inner mechanics.
  • Nintendo-Themed Handlebars & Display: Custom controls and a screen mimicking the Game Boy Color’s LCD.
  • Actual Game Boy Color Cartridge: Modified as the bike's starter key.

Cheats and Themes:

These include a speed boost, unlockable themes for the display, and sound effects. Cheat codes will come in a print magazine shipped with the bike.

Technical Details:

  • Power: 11kW electric motor
  • Top Speed: ~80mph
  • Range: 93 miles
  • Battery Life: 7.1kWh lithium-ion, takes around 3.5 hours to fully charge

Only 400 units will be produced, and they are expected to launch in December.

Unique Selling Points:

This ride is not for the faint of heart or wallet. It aims to merge nostalgia with high technology, making it a collector's item for serious gaming enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike.

Y'all are making this community as bad as Reddit game subreddits with your incessant bitching about Nintendo. We get it.

It's not about being friendly. It's about not saying the exact same comments in every single Nintendo thread. It's repetitive and boring.
