whats up guys. looking to pick up a fast e-moto / electric dirt bike and my hard ceiling budget is $5k usd total—and that has to include shipping from the neighboring country to my city.

i don't care about pedals or making it street legal. this is strictly for ripping up deep sand, bush tracks, and private property out here, so i just want the absolute max horsepower, torque, and instant acceleration i can possibly get for five grand.

since the plan is to get it shipped up from across the border, whats my best route to get the most power-per-dollar stock? should i try sourcing directly from a verified alibaba supplier to ship a crate straight here, or stick to a major distributor over there (since they can drop their 15% local vat for export)?

if anyone has experience importing these across specific border or knows a specific bike that punches way above its price tag stock for this budget, let me know.

looking for a project sleeper with a max budget of $3k, something cheap to buy but with strong potential. priorities are a solid engine or easy swap options, a decent-sized engine bay, good aftermarket support, and the ability to make serious power while still looking low-key and boring on the outside. not trying to build something flashy, more like a car that blends in but can actually move. what platforms would you consider the goat for this kind of build?
