I'm not sure you understand what is meant by "Category: Trailers."

That was awesome and you know it, sir.

5 stars for "Trailers" category.

Hoope_X, "You are technically correct. That's the best kind of correct."

This same guy has been driving it around since 1944. The allies still haven't caught the wily Kettenkrad Bandit!

That was one of the few vehicles that could make a go of it in the deep-ass mud on the Russian Front. The steering design is actually really cool - the cycle wheel controls the steering until it goes past a certain angle, at which point it connects to the tread systems and uses them to steer.

I would imagine the biggest expense would be shipping one here from Europe. Still, if I had crazy money? Hell yeah.

I wonder if you couldn't just rig up your own homebrew Kettenkrad using U.S.-available parts. Build it up off of one of those little tracked diggers that's like a baby steam shovel.

In the U.S., I'd say you'd almost definitely be better off getting a custom bike shop to build you one, come to think of it. Stuff I've found online suggests that when they come up for auction, they go for 0k+ as they're pretty in-demand from collectors of military equipment.

Apparently, they didn't have a particularly long life expectancy, what with the gas tanks sitting on either side of the driver's compartment.
