I could stow this on my ocean kayak!

Cool stuff! Thanks for that, George.

Damn, that thing looks fun! If you watched "Long Way Round" and Ewan and Charlie trying to ride across Siberia, you'll really appreciate that. Thanks, George.

Interesting special purpose machine. I like the way it disassembles.

 

[TommyBwell]

That was pretty darn cool. I wonder how much it weighs?

 

[Fred W]

That is pretty cool. It's like 1/2 of a Quad with those big flotation tires and 2 wheel drive.

Even if you couldn't knock it down for storage, it sure seems like something that people would be clamoring for.

sort of a mini version of the Rokon (SP?) I remember as a kid.

It does look like a lot of fun to ride. It must be electric to be that portable. I bet it weighs well under 100 pounds since the rider was able to pull it up with one hand. The only problem I can see is that the tires would wear out pretty quick.

Rokon Trail Breaker. (Front winch not visible in this picture.)

Yes, the Russian Tarus motorcycle looks a lot like the Rokon. The Tarus is a ~5 hp, 2 stroke with a a 3-speed transmission and a centrifugal clutch. It has a disc brake on the intermediate shaft instead of a brake on each wheel. They claim 1.2 liters per hour fuel economy and a top speed of 37 mph. The weight is estimated at 47 and 50 kilograms. There is a 4 stroke coming. Estimated cost is around $980 (USD) and plans for a DIY is $37.

That would be awesome for hunting.

I totally agree with that statement!!
