This Would Be An Interesting Ride!
Here’s something you will rarely see, a genuine WWII Kettenkrad up for sale! These motorcycle half tracks were produced by NSU in the second world war and could be carried in Ju-52 aircraft and were used for such things as pulling small artillery pieces in the field. Collectors keep them running and take them out in the field to show people what they can do. Often they just sit in museums.
This one is powered by a 36 horsepower 4 cylinder engine with a top speed of 70 mph kilometers per hour, and is in running order.
I never fully understood the motorcycle fork on these things, I always figured you steered a tracked vehicle like this by driving and braking alternate tracks, what would the wheel up front do? Anyway, if you want something a little different from your standard bike, this is it!
