In the thirties, it must have been all the rage.

>>32452 This video and some of the others certainly show how difficult turning was even though it gets thru the mud. I can only imagine the German war machine invading Russia.

>>32447 Don't know if German forces put the tracks from a panzer tank on the Maultier before or after they invaded Russia. It was done quickly though because of the muddy snow and proved to be quite successful.

>>32446 remove the front wheel, make the track work the same as any other tracked vehicle and voilá it works. Won't be a motorcycle anymore but who cares? Well, ze Germans did.

I'll bet the Opel Maultier had the same issues.
