Idaho Rokon Romp

[@garygwong88]

Man ..we used to watch super 8mm films of my dad and uncles riding these in the hills here in Hawaii back in the 70's..My family owned a shop and was a dealer for them.. I remember vaguely riding on the tank when i was small.. I should look for the reels..

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Sure would love to have one of these!

[@nomansland4811]

Sure would like to attend one of these events.

[@decadantdog4444]

Wish I still had mine. If they were to build them with the 15 in wheels I'd seriously consider a new one.

[@coreygilbert62]

Looks like if ya had your step counter it would max out reminds me of a adult version of a walk bike for kids

[@ministerc9513]

If you have your legs down most of the time, wouldn't it be easier just to walk?

[@niskibum5196]

Not with half an elk on your back.

[@ALH1415]

Then it would just be a regular romp, not the same

[@Clint3571]

For those sections, yes, but the other parts of the trail are much smoother.

[@lossantoscity3249]

Ok Champ let's go. Oh forgot to tell you it's 20 miles back and forth. Lezz go!!!!

[@percyfaith11]

Sure, if you wanted to carry all your gear on your back and maybe pull out a deer or moose by hand. Easy peasy.

[@jacksoncarnecchia2021]

Saw one at a shop and they really are bullet proof

[@Yophillips3272]

I think I seen something like this on pawnstars, are these the ones you can put gas in the rims?

[@michaelturner2254]

Yes! Literally watching that episode now... which is why I’m here 😂

[@Quiksilversurf311]

I’m here from Pawn Stars too, watching the episode now. Lol

[@icicicles]

These are similar to the Tote Gote that was built during the 50-60's out of Utah but the Tote Gote had smaller wheels.

[@shadowcastre]

Icicicles... Not even close... I've owned both, (still have Rokons) the tote goat pales in comparison to a Rokon.

[@icicicles]

@@shadowcastre Okay, I'll take your word for it. But I did not say one was better then the other but that they are similar in that I meant their style.

[@shadowcastre]

@@icicicles The similarities end at 2 wheels and a motor...

[@COM70]

Here from Mats off road recovery, Fab Rats and Robby Layton.

[@larcoal2963]

Looks like pure fun! `Merica!

[@MonsterZ123]

I have a 6k acre off-road park would love to have y'all demo your product

[@Mike-01234]

Purpose built for hunting seem to be more suited for mountains or east coast mud and such. Out here in the Arizona deserts, and Utah trials motorcycle will do much better on hard rocks and climbing if your only out to ride no other propose.

[@17madracki17]

Does anyone ride with feet on the pegs or just walk them the whole time.

[@smw1279]

How fast do these bikes go?

[@Rokon2x2]

Top speed for most models is 35 MPH. Ranger tops out at 37.

[@joelcopegog-king7021]

What are those.

[@adamheeley285]

They should rename this a 2 wheel ATV

[@brettknoss486]

Are there dealers for these, or are they only sold online?

[@rawsonforever]

There are dealers. Go to Rokon.com for the list. Rokon World is the owners site where we all hang out.

[@nothim7321]

Where was there snow in July in Idaho?

[@richpittwood5731]

Looks more like (Mt. St. Helens) volcanic ash than snow??

[@dylanrobinson3154]

Snow was near Pinehurst ID. (the Northern Pinehurst near Kellogg). Definitely snow. Had some last year too.

[@Rokon2x2]

In the north!

[@digichalk]

Looks so fun

[@josephleister9198]

Awesome.

[@timhudson1846]

Did that guy just drink out of a garden hose!!!

[@alexcushing3535]

So I saw the “ inventor “ pronounce it ROCK ON. After a ski place he owned and I see many what I would call Authorities on the machine continue to say ROW CON. Is it just one of those things? Tomaytoe Tomatow

[@1161byron]

Those are beefy looking machines

[@jeremyrock9305]

I want one 👍🏻

[@leoverran311]

Does an ATV make more sense?

[@percyfaith11]

Can't fit in the same narrow places.

[@TrapDaddy65]

You can ride these upright across inclines that would flip an ATV.

[@brianarnold4819]

Yup.. Hooked.

[@통사모-t3n]

한국에 판매좀해주세요

[@glenchisman6650]

Quad will do more.

[@Gary_E_Anderson]

If they could gear it to where the thing could reach 45MPH I would be all over it. I just don't feel safe doing 30ish even on back country roads to get to the places I want to ride. I haven't and never will trailer a bike that runs.

[@christopherd2100]

In that case I'd recommend a TW200. They're almost as ATVish, but come with a proper 5 speed. Only issue is no front drive or wheel storage.

[@percyfaith11]

You pays your money and you takes your choices. You can't have it all buddy. Speed or hill climbing and high torque heavy load pulling. Not wanting to trailer it sounds like an artificial constraint. Would you trailer an ATV?

[@Gary_E_Anderson]

@@percyfaith11 I grant you Percy that it is an artificial constraint but a constraint of mine none the less. Comes from years of riding Harley's I am sure but all the same it is how I feel. Unless I am moving a long distance or traveling cross country in an RV I am not going to trailer a bike.

[@larryb6715]

At 0:53 seconds watch the woman rider, yee-haw.

[@WoodsUnknown]

If they were closer to 4 grand I would try one but when they retail for 10 grand here in Canada I'll take a honda four wheeler any day over that overpriced bike anyday

[@percyfaith11]

Two abandoned tires in the stream bed. Classic hillbilly landscape.

[@timhudson1846]

I've got about 200 abandoned tires out in the back 40.. scattered amongst the trees

[@percyfaith11]

@@timhudson1846 mosquito nurseries.

[@timhudson1846]

@@percyfaith11 yeah.. over the years I've been slowly dragging them out. I've no clue who left them there.. I know they've been there for over thirty years

[@percyfaith11]

@@timhudson1846 Good on you.👍. It's a shame you got to get stuck with disposing of them. There's a lot of petroleum in used tires and I know they're ground up to make things like mulch and other products and incorporated in asphalt for roads.

[@harryfritter8266]

You can ride stuff like that on a regular dirt bike with proper riding skills and clutch control

[@17madracki17]

And feet on the pegs haha.

Ain’t nothing better than tooling on the back 40
