This appears to be a hybrid moped and a mountain bike. A bare chassis you can bolt your own gear to.
At least it is using some mountain bike running gear with a small < 50cc engine. A honda I think. Should be able to run one of these on our roads without a motorcycle license, so long as it's under that 50cc power level.
They also have a cruiser variant and a Black Ops model.

for USD $2,500 I think you could probably throw down for a new or near new Ninja. There are a few other light frame motorcycles I've seen about. Chinese build, rebranded. There is a guy in the US who does that with choppers and cruisers. Same bikes are sold here in Aus by another guy doing the same thing but unrelated to the US guy.
I looked at buying a cheapo mountain bike a few years back and bolting something into the frame. You can purchase small engines with some cc's not sure how many. The bikes were about $200 and the engine was about $300 IIRC. Was going to make it and stash it in the shed in case it was needed for bugging out sometime.
There are quite a few people riding the mountain bikes + engine around, however they are not allowed on cycle paths (but they do) and need registering for the roads and you have limits on which roads. I get the impression the people riding them are probably doing so because of a license ban or something.
