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.

34 MPH top speed isn’t enough for the U.S. unless you’re in a city center.

City commuter

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.

I did miss that when reading the article, but I still stick to my argument that the top speed is too low. Even in the downtown area of my city people drive 45+.

It’s a moped, it’s not supposed to be faster
