    The Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkraftrad (aka Kettenrad) is a deliciously German sort of vehicle, a small utility tractor made with a pair of treads and motorcycle front wheel. It was powered by a 4 cylinder Opel automotive engine generating 36 horsepower, and had a 3-speed gearbox with high and low range transfer case. Top speed was 44 mph, and it could tow about 1,000 pounds of ammunition or other supplies in a small 2-wheeled trailer, or directly tow light artillery pieces.
    The vehicle was developed in 1939, and in mass production in time to see substantial use in Operation Barbarossa; the German invasion of Russia. Although complex to maintain and expensive to produce, the Kettenkrad was quite well suited to the terrain and distances of the Eastern Front. As the war progressed and supplies became scarcer and artillery became heavier it was less universally useful, but remained in service until the very end of the war, tasked with jobs as mundane as towing aircraft at airfields. After the war, they were put into civilian agricultural service (much like the Jeep in the US).
    This example is in the rental fleet at DriveTanks.com, available for instruction and driving to anyone. It is one of my very favorite vehicles form World War Two, and I really appreciate DriveTanks giving me the opportunity to do some driving on it and show it to you!

    The reason it has two fuel tanks is, one draws fuel from the back and one draws fuel from the front. That way you're still getting fuel to the engine even if the vehicle is at a sharp up-or-downhill incline with partially filled tanks.

    German reenactor here out the Midwest region, and at one point one of our members had a Kettenkrad. One event weekend, a German vet had approached us about the Kettenkrad, in fact he worked very close with them as mobile anti-tank element with PaK36 later in the war. When we asked the vet if he wanted a ride in our kettenkrad, he flatly refused our offer, and said "I lost a lot of my friends on these things on hills, when they rolled over there was no hope you could have survived being crushed and snapped in half by one of these things, the war was enough for me". Not often do Americans talk to German war vets who immigrated to the states, and most of them have now long been passed. So is our GI vets, get to talking to them now before its too late.

    Kettenkraftrad translate more like "tracked utility motorcycle", than, "light tracked motorcycle", doesn't it?
    Story: I talked to a guy that was maintenance in the Wehrmacht during the war. He said if they had one of these in for work they'd pull the front wheel off and drive it through the bivouac on just the tracks yelling, "Aaahh, out of control, run, run!!!", scattering the grunts in their path while not really being out of control.

      Actually "Kraftrad" literally translates into "powered bycicle", or motorcycle. While outdated, the term is still applicable in some cases in Germany to this day. That said, "Kettenkraftrad" cannot be translated any more acurate than "tracked powered bycicle" or "tracked motorcycle".
      The Sd.Kfz abbreviation stands for "Sonderkraftfahrzeug", which translates into "Special purpose powered vehicle", and was applied to any vehicle, regardless of shape, size or form, as long as it has a motor and had been designed to meet the specific requirements of the Wehrmacht.

Think of a one wheeled half track, which is what it is, the position of the front wheel dictates the amount of braking force going to the back tracks, but rather than a skid type steer you get a forward montion curve. It puts a lot less strain of the drive train and is easier to train the driver.

    Amazing to see that the suspension system used on the front wheel is exactly the same as that used by BMW touring motorcycles today.
    (The suspension is mounted to the vehicle rather than being an integral part of the front forks.)

      That's because they wanted to be able to change it on the go seeing how the suspension was always the first thing to go on these as it got bashed around rough terrain.

      That was because you could remove the front wheel for off road use. Then you steered it using only the track brakes.

      It's really not the same as Telelever that BMW has used for quite a few years but a far simpler and cruder system found on many types of early motorcycles.

      It's a type of springer front end called a girder. They are common on old school choppers and show bikes. I think they where stock on 1920s and 30s Harley Davidsons. I don't know about what BMW was using then but it had to be similar because nobody had hydraulic forks yet.
