The Amazing Rokon

The Rokon Trail-Breaker is a two-wheel drive motorcycle made in New Hampshire with a pull-start, fan cooled, single cylinder 172cc four stroke engine producing 6 bhp. Transmission is by torque converter, and three gears (selected by hand). There is no suspension, but hand operated hydraulic disc brakes are fitted front and rear. The 15inch drum wheels are hollow to provide flotation for swimming, or may be filled with drinking water or extra petrol (17 litres in each). Top speed (for the brave) is 56 km/h.

Way to demonstrate a good product, spend the first minute trying to start it, shrug off a heart attack, then ride up your driveway?

Oddly configured exercise machine!

I really hope you're not in marketing! 3/4 of the video is trying to start the thing, when you finally get it started you struggle a bit getting moving, and when you're finally rolling you bee line it down an alley where you're not visible. Work out those kinks before the camera starts rolling, it will make for a much better video!

this guy needs a lesson on keeping that thing running, rokon's depending on what engine you have are very tempermental to temperature

Since weight doesn't seem to be a concern with that thing. They might as well add electric start.
