How The Rokon Two-Wheel Drive Motorcycle Works - Jalopnik

Rokon’s two-wheel-drive motorcycle remains an outlier in off-road engineering

Rokon uses a patented mechanical system to send power to both wheels.
An overrunning clutch lets the front wheel freewheel through turns.
Its hollow drum wheels can add buoyancy or carry extra fuel or water.
The design prioritizes low-speed traction and utility over speed or conventional handling.
