[Brabus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eqs-450) Urban E First Edition is a limited-run electric motorcycle developed with [DAB Motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desert-sand-brabus-x-dab-motors), introduced at Milan Design Week as part of a three-bike lineup. Positioned as the most exclusive variant, the model is restricted to 40 units globally across four monochromatic colorways. Built on a shared electric platform, it delivers around 27 kW of power and up to 475 Nm of torque at the wheel, paired with a 72V battery offering approximately 150 km of urban range and a top speed near 120 km/h.

The design emphasizes carbon fiber bodywork, winglets, and cooling ducts that sharpen the bike’s angular silhouette, aligning with Brabus’s automotive aesthetic. Mechanical features include multiple ride modes, including a short boost function, alongside belt drive transmission and regenerative braking. The First Edition is priced around €32,500 and positioned as a collector-focused object rather than a mass-market commuter, with deliveries expected in late 2026.
