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
I completly understand that ;) There is an other video of this with a lot more Kettenkrads in it in my more recent uploads ;) Although I'm noticing that you already saw a few of my uploads ;)

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.

I gotta say they look neat, but I cannot imagine they are much good in the snow. Unless you can control your tracks separately like a tank or a backhoe, then how does it steer in the snow? One regular motorcycle tire on the front isn't going to do anything but slide, I imagine. Just based on the video and them barely making corners in mud, I bet snow is worse. Plus the wheel is off the ground a lot of the time. It is kind of like a tiny runaway tank.

@@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
