Italjet Dragster 459: Chain-Drive Radical from Italy, $12K USD
Italjet's doing what Italjet does—building weird, purposeful scooters that shouldn't work but somehow do. The new Dragster 459 strips things back to exposed frame and chain drive, no apologies. Starting at 190 million IDR (roughly $12,000), it's a reminder that some manufacturers still think form follows function instead of focus groups.
Italjet's still making scooters for people who actually ride them, not for Instagram. That's rarer than it should be.
