Sub-$3,000 electric moped is both off-roader and city commuter

Dirt Freak… with a name like that, you ought to either produce some solid, purpose-built off-road motorcycles… or an inexpensive vacuum cleaner. I’m glad to say it’s the former, in the shape of an electric moto from Japan dubbed the GE-N3.

It’s priced at JPY 396,000, which converts to just over US$2,700. Now that’s a rad price if it were to come to the West as it is. But it won’t.

There's "city" and then there's "super dense city like NY/SF/wherever".

I live downtown and I couldn't use this thing to get groceries or get to work.
