$1,250 for a Greenbee Metro 2 Electric Motorcycle ($2,500 Value)

The shipping fee ($350) is not included in this Groupon.

The Greenbee Metro 2 converts electrical juices into 1.5 kilowatts of power, propelling riders at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. The zero-emissions vehicle requires no gas or oil, instead collecting electricity from a standard 110-volt outlet for 2.5–4.5 hours before hitting the open road. Riders should check with their local DMV for guidelines about registering their vehicle before taking it for a spin. Depending on availability, buyers can opt for motorcycles in pure white, shiny black, golden gray, or transparent red.

Greenbee Electric Vehicles Technology

Based in California, Greenbee Electric Vehicles Technology guides drivers around the colossal carbon skid marks left by gas-guzzling vehicles with zero-emissions electric motorcycles designed for inner-city commutes. Two whisper-quiet Greenbee models, the Metro and Metro 2, feed on electricity from a standard 110-volt outlet, instead of depending on fossil fuels for their energy. But the petite motorcycles don't sacrifice speed, with the Metro zooming along at up to 60 miles per hour and the Metro 2 reaching up to 30 miles per hour, without either of them smogging up city skylines. Each is equipped with a backseat and a pair of fold-out foot pegs, too, in case riders need a gunner to man the rear confetti cannon.
