A sort of two-wheeled truck: the Roxon 2×2
Roxon is a New Hampshire company that has been around since 1958. They make an unusual type of vehicle: an all-wheel-drive motorcycle with big tires, 14-inch ground clearance, and a top speed of 35 mph. Single-cylinder on-time engine – only 208cc – that puts out 7 horsepower, but the thing can tow 2,000 pounds. Interestingly, the wheels are hollow drums, which can be left as is to provide flotation (so you won’t lose it. in a water accident) or filled with 2.5 gallons of additional fuel or water.
Roxon offers six different versions, all targeting different use cases:
$ 7,675
Rokon’s basic, no-frills style. This one doesn’t have hollow wheels and is the cheapest in the range.
$ 8,475
This is basically their fleet model, designed to take one or two people over difficult terrain. Trail-Breakers have been used by the US military, the forest service, fishing and hunting officers, and so on.
$ 9,175
This one has a 12 “x 32” rear rack, long enough to carry a chainsaw or similar sized tools. Ideal for agricultural, forestry or utility work in places where you cannot fit a truck.
$ 9,275
The Ranger is a street-approved version of the Trail-Breaker, equipped with the necessary gauges, lights, tires, mirrors and horn.
$ 8,775
Basically the Trail-Breaker in camouflage.
$ 9,275
This has an LED headlight, a “power socket” for charging devices, an on-board maintenance kit, an on-board survival kit and a rear storage rack. The Rokon for Preppers model highlights one characteristic that all have or lack, depending on how you look at it: All Rokons are “EMP proof.” The bike is carburized and is not controlled by any computer technology â. If the electric start is off, you can start it like a lawn mower.
Here is a group of enthusiasts putting their Rokons to the test:
