What if Doc Brown’s time machine only had two wheels?

Following a version of its electric motorcycle with a design inspired by Nintendo’s atomic purple Game Boy Color, Dab Motors has revealed a Back to the Future customization. It’s got a glowing flux capacitor, DeLorean-themed rims, an elaborate time circuits dashboard, and a speedometer capped at 88mph, which is a bit faster than the bike’s actual top speed.
