    These bikes are very well built, not perfect from the factory but can be customized to suite your riding style. After owning 2 of these for a few years you there is a great community of Rokon riders (think Alaskans, outdoors-men, x military, engineers and machinist) and you can upgrade the tires and engine. The Rokon is to ride over steep hills, directly over fallen trees, through streams, thick mud and cruise on the single track and fire trails. These are not meant to go fast from the factory.

      For me destination is everything anybody willing to sponsor a sixty-five-year-old Outdoorsman and adventurer with a spinal cord injury I learn to walk again but I can't afford a Rokon is there a sponsor out there who would be willing to help this mountain man :-) I would be forever grateful and I would be willing to share videos on my one-man spinal cord 65 year old mountain man Adventures on my sponsored Rokon Adventures. Maybe Rokon would give me a bike for advertisement

    I replaced a 400 four wheeler with a 6 hp Trailbreaker. The biggest benefit this has is the fact it is narrow and light. I can fit it in the back of my truck and still have room for gear. It has a ton of low end torque and if you think you can walk there you can ride the Rokon. Another great feature is with a rear view mirror and a horn I've been able to register it for the road as a motorcycle in NH. This ads loads of trails and capabilities as I can ride the back roads instead of trucking it. Top speed is about 35 mph but I didn't get it to go fast, mostly for exploring and game recovery. I've used it turkey hunting on back trails and fields. It'll carry treestands and makes a quick trip to the truck for a sled to pull your game out if you weren't confident enough to bring it with you in the first place. You don't ride it like a motorcycle, in the woods you keep your feet out to steady yourself or just your toes on the pegs.

  • @d.jensen5153
    @d.jensen5153 4 роки тому +10

    Love these. Gonna have one eventually. Nice to see someone actually make it float. Not often you would need that feature but you never know. One thing I don't like when outfitting one of these is the ammo cans. They seem to be very popular. Sure they are air and water tight but limited storage space and all those sharp hard edges. I'm more for a soft pannier. More storage and less likely to bite you in a fall.

    • @tangoindiamike9189

    I would never have guessed you had much experience based off the fact you spent a considerable amount of time dismounted from the bike walking it up and over terrain that even a standard RWD bike could have skillfully negotiated. Just proves that not everyone is proficient just because they have time under their belt.

You can carry more in the wheel hubs, 400 mile range. Rokons were doing this way before lithium batteries and brushless motors were even though of.

    Did not show anything that a regular bike could easily do. When the bike turned over in the water was bad. All your gear would be wet. The big tires caused it to flip and that would be real bad in a current. At the end where he says if you had 1 bike to choose he'd choose that one?

      @@gerrynightingale9045 I think people who are not motorcyclist will buy this bike because it's easier to handle, for me as an old motorcyclist this bike is no fun at all, I like when my back is sliding and the speed, going in air in terrain and good sound. Why it is loud ? probably because it's cheap quality, as a four stroke should be more refined.

      @@gerrynightingale9045 for 7000-8500 they charge, it's cheap. if it was somewhere around 4k it would be good. But this kind of money is too much for what it is. Also I think it's too complicated for off-road, another chain to maintain and all that... I doubt it's comfortable for longer trips too being that low and having legs so cramped. It's sweet little toy but just too high in price for what it is.
