I would imagine a Option will be a Three Point Hitch and PTO to run the Tiller or Brush Hog.

Cheesh... I guess some of these creations from Asia arise from the incredible variety of "stuff" manufactured by Asian companies... You know, "The Hungdong Industries" makers of motorcycles, scooters, tractors, kitchen stoves, cattle gates, ditch diggers, birth control devices, etc. Look at Honda's "fill your dream garage" ads on TV. That plethora of devices from one manufacturer doesn't exactly blow my dress up, but with folks like Honda, at least you can count on the stuff being great quality, even if not beautiful... Sorta like Glock pistols I suppose. They don't exactly melt my butter either, but they shoot great.
I know, I'm SO old-school picky... LOL!  I guess if a builder makes a great car or bike, it figgers that they can probably make a good mousetrap, or execution machine or whatever too...  Leo (glad Kymco makes scooters, Harley makes motorcycles and HONDA makes ACCORDS) in Texas

Leo - The RNT was born after Honda Pulled out from Hero in India. If memory serves its aimed at folks living in the rurals who need three things - transportation, electricity and a farm tractor but can only afford one so they built a Scooter, Electric Generator and Tractor All in One device. Even has Sari Guards built in for taking the family into town. The headlight assembly detaches and has an extension cord so it can be used as flood lighting for working late out in the fields or in the barn/shed.
I still have my two wheeled (side by side not inline) FMC/Bolens Walking Tractor however the Calcium Chloride filled Chevron Cleated tire would make for a choppy, hard and real heavy ride. It can put in almost half a days work on a gallon of gasoline with its 3 hp motor. A number of the small farms where I grew up in New England still use them instead of Cubs since the fuel useage is so low. A friend tried a really nice Husqvarna with the Hydrostatic Drive and found that it did just as nice a job as his old machine but did not do it any faster and took 5 times more fuel to do the same amount of work. He got tired of it very quickly and got rid of it then putting the money he sold it for into refurbishing his old one ending up very happy with having the old one working along with having the leftover change in his pocket.

Agreed. The Rokon is not fast, but it is virtually unstoppable.  |

I don't see the advantage of two wheel drive in a street scooter. Maybe to balance the weight bias more towards a motorcycle but little else. Christini starting selling a two wheel drive dirt bike a few years ago but it didn't set the world on fire. I can't imagine the effect on handling with that unit hanging on the front wheel but it can't be good.
