- Some footage of Kettenkrads during Militracks. If you want to see something bigger been driven around, you can have a look at my other video's to see how it is to drive a WW2 tank like The King Tiger/Königstiger the Panther or the Stug.

One reason why I think Kettenkrads are so cool is because they are sort of like early ATVs. They are like a beefed up version of an old ATV. I admire how unique they are. Crossing a tank with a motorcycle.
When a Panzer is interested in a Vespa, they make babies
They also have a top speed of 44MPH which is really good for a tracked vehicle
Iam they did not crossbreed a plane and a motorcycle, it would end like a oppressor from gta V
it has that ww1-2 motorcycle charm and yet its unique parts with the tracks
Shoujo Shuumatsu never gave us the top speed of these babies, but from this video there's quite a sample of how surprisingly fast they are.
The top speed is 50mph but the Wehrmacht advised to keep to 44mph
@@Midsix yeah, rough terrain could scramble the mechanical parts right? But still 40 miles at rough terrain is pretty fast, I feel a strong "jack of all trades, master of none" vibe with this vehicle, it crosses through the narrowed wooded roads of germany far more easily due to its size, it has tires and tracks for crossing both rough terrain and roads at good speed, and it's a personnel/supply carrier, but it doesn't perform none of these functions with excelency just decency
@@pr0chszy It was more like rough terrain would cause you to flip it over.
@@morrismonet3554 When I say rough terrain, I don't mean so rough that it could flip a Kettenkrad, a terrain that rough would flip almost any vehicle, of course these distinctions would be for the driver to discern.
Es porque Chito nunca aceleraba, las únicas veces en las que literal solo Yuri lo aceleró era cuando estaban a punto de morir en 2 ocasiones.
I must ride that cutest vehicle once in my life time, I vowed onto myself.

German Engineer: "Hans, do you need a tank or a motorcycle?"
Hans: "Ja."
Jawohl..
Mein gott
have your jokes now shifted from Fritz to Hans? : D
The real question I'd ask the engineer is why there is a front motorcycle wheel at all. If you watch carefully around the corners, it isn't really doing anything. So is it just there for balance? And to give handlebars as a natural grip/control method for the treads?
@@esperagothe front axle is mainly for control at higher speeds and to certain degree, offroad. It's handling like a trike, when fast, but if you want to turn while being stuck in Rasputitsa, you need both track differentials AND the wheel. Then it becomes a tractor with a appendage in front. And of course, you want to grip onto something, like the arse of Bertha during that wild ride.

Even today it’s pretty impractical to put 3 people on a modern ATV, but the Germans pulled it off in comfort and style in the 1940’s
Bill Dauterive I agree but as far as “over engineered ATV “ this is the outstanding definition.
This thing's really fun to drive in BFV

Honestly if someone remade a modern version of them say with a small but powerful diesel engine they would sell like hot cakes here in NZ ,every farmer would want one ,but gold miners ,coal miners ,forestry ,fisherman ,moss pickers i could see many uses for them here but it's our wet mud bogy conditions that require something like that especially in the south island .
A tankicycle! I wish I had one for when I was on the farm back in Mississippi it would've been great for not getting stuck in the mud.

Joel bluup thats why they also used them to do some reconnaissance
Шедевр! Видос потрясный! Кеттен и сейчас офигенен!
I am amazed there are some that have survived. That makes me happy . As a young man building models this was on of my favorites. Where can I visit and see these up close?
I know that a website sells the blueprints for this for 200 - 1000€ so not all kettenkrads are wartime ones
Me seeing it a few seconds in: It doesn't look that fast.
0:24: Nevermind it's pretty fast.
Amazing piece of machinery.
I prefer riding this rather than go-cart or roller coaster.

That looks bonkers and a half - fantastic!
Wow those things are surprisingly fast and maneuverable. By looking at them you'd think they'd top out at a brisk walking pace, and I figured making a L-bend turn on a reasonable width of road at anything but the slowest of speeds would be impossible. Very capable off-roading, too! At first glance these things appear a bit silly, but seeing what they can do I really see the value it could bring having these tag along with the troops. Do they accept LS engine swaps, though?
These where used at a lot of places during the war, they could nearly go everywhere, mud, snow, ... and could also pull quite a lot. Due to the fact that they are that small they where also very handy in tiny walking trails. Afther the war also a lot of famers used them in their vineyards since they could go trough 2 rows ;)
@@WJHJ Yeah, I bet! Kind of like the grandfather of the four-wheel drive ATVs you'll sometimes see modern special forces utilize. Maybe better 'cause I bet those could pull a smaller field gun in situations where six guys would have to play pack mule without it - mountain troops and such. Pretty awesome they had a peacetime use too hehe. Very neat vehicle.
@@angry_zergling Indeed and they pulled from time to time some artillery, sometimes an airplane and where also put into airplanes for paratroopers ;)
What a fantastic tank looking bike, I hope it can take my two favorite girls to top of the city ruin
2:45 this guy is my hero lol
Such an interesting vehicle. Was reading the motorcycle wheel is completely ineffective. By turning the handlebars it applies braking to track left or right to steer. The motorbike bit was to make German motorcycle soldiers more comfortable driving it.
Kit Walker most of what you said is indeed correct, the wheel does also takes the first hit when driving off road and makes it more stable and the first 10% of turning is done by the wheel, if you turn more it’s indeed braking on the track

They should sell these again they look so fun to drive and ride in
For air delivery by Ju 52.

These things are so cool where is this event at I’d love to ride on one

Yep...I want one !
How much do you think it would cost to make a reproduction of a Kettenkrads?
Russell Dickson there are some who already tried this but if they would do it with same dimensions and quality it would cost a lot. If you look what replica parts cost today ...
Think a cheaper way is to buy an afther war Kettenkrad (afther the war there where a few hunderderd made with the remaning parts, these are a bit cheaper)
according to the british military vehicle magazine "classic military vehicle" there is a company who will be making complete functioning replica Krads in 2019..identical to the original, no price yet tho..
there are those that make handmade stylish repros that replicate the basic design aesthetic of a kettengrad. just search kettengrad repro.
@@historicmilitaria1944 Any info on this? Could you link where you found it? Im currently looking into building the thing myself, welding a hull, and doing it with original documentation, if I can get it, but if thats happening, I probably will just wait for it to happen.
hi, nothing seems to have come of the project so far
I’ve got a picture of my grandfather standing in a captured Kettenkrad in the Western Desert in North Africa, could be the same one?
Theoretically could be the same, difficult to say today. The background of the vehicle isn’t always known

Amazing how that narrow motorcycle front wheel can steer that thing!
It doesnt. It has a differential braking system for tighter turns.
@@banaana1234 which is operated by turning the handlebars, if i may add.
the front wheel does help though, especially in faster speeds and slight turns.
少女終末旅行で見たヤツや
すっごい
とろとろ走るのかと思ったが意外と速い
So is that front wheel and tire there for stability? Or is it actually steered via that teeny bike tire?
It actually steers but for more steering there is a mechanism connected to it that slows the track on the turning side to steer.
Gosh, that looks like fun
Ian Finrir doesn’t only looks like that, it also is 😜
Very nice

How do they steer?
Do the track speeds change left to right, like a tank? It seems impossible that you can steer it using only the front wheel.
That has to be the case. Seems like instead of having two sticks to steer with, the speed controls for the tracks are just integrated into the front fork handlebar setup. If those tracks were turning at the same speed and you turned the handlebars, that thing would just keep plowing straight ahead.
Correct
As the bigs german halftracks.
For a small angle in goog terrain ir at big speed using the front wheel.
If this is not enough turning more the brakes acts in one or other track.
@@mmaaddict78 actually the front wheel is used for subtle turns, and once you steer hard enough, it brakes one of the tracks slightly to help make sharp turns. The front wheel is used for slight adjustments or when turning sharply isn't needed, at lower speeds the vehicle uses tank steering to turn
Beautiful!!!
