Home Depot has had this deal on their website for a month or so. It's the Monster Moto MM-E1000 electric minibike for $199 (retail is $499). I've checked several times and it always says it's not available in my area. I've wondered if it's actually available anywhere; thought I'd ask for a few members to check availability in their areas, just to satisfy my curiosity. To anyone who checks and lets me know, thank you.

I managed to buy one of these NIB on eBay for cheap, thanks to a no-reserve auction ending at 4:44 am EST (not many people active at that time of day/night) this morning. I did as I usually do on auctions and waited until the final few seconds to bid (for anyone who has never figured it out, bidding earlier only serves to raise the selling price); got it for $168.49 + $67.94 shipping; $236.43 total. I love internal combustion engines as much as anyone, but a quiet electric minibike intrigues me since I live in a quiet urban neighborhood. I'm thinking pocket bike tires combined with a gearing change to compensate for the smaller OD should make it even quieter; may be able to gear it for increased speed and/or range, if it has enough torque. The bike appears to use the same frame as MM's gas powered bikes, so it should be easy to convert if the performance of the electric motor is disappointing.
Still curious about the Home Depot deal, though, if anyone wants to check it out. Thanks.
