How did you get a german ww2 era Kettenkrad in Japan? They cost roughly $100,000 and you're just driving it like a regular car! I am so bewildered yet fascinated by this.
Well first no one knows if its a genuine ww2 kettenkrad after the war they still produced until 1948(some source says its 1949) for agricultural purposes so it could be one of those and just modified to look like its ww2 bretherence obviously the post ww2 one its gonna be cheaper
krad - short for kraftrad - which literally translates to powerwheel (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftrad). A Kettenkrad is a krad with "chains" (the tracks).
When you have to send a relay message from the Kursk frontline to the nearest German Command OP, but you stopped by at a Lawson branch near Prokhorovka to buy some Fanta.
Other people save for years to be able to afford a Chevy or Jaguar. This gentleman is living his dream and, honestly mates, which of us can say that about ourselves? Thanks for sharing and may the gentleman enjoy his vehicle for a long time to come. 👍🏼
This is AWESOME !!! If I were the owner I would also just for fun install a music player with boxes. And play German marching music whenever there's a good occasion 😂 Kudos to you Good Sir for maintaining such a Kettenrad and having fun with it 👌😎
It's a living piece of history and it's in great condition - I love it. Modern vehicles sometimes feel like copycats - it's nice to see some ingenious design.
Another great bit of German kit, 'Für Krieg und Einkauf', far better than an anonymous SUV. I go to 'Sainsbugs' in my W108, but this is something else. Wunderbar!
There goes a proud man, ready to feed his fellow brothers at work with instant noodles. Ride till the sun rises again, ride to the worlds end. I salute you.
Guuuaaauuu que Preciosidad de motocicleta con cadenas …impresionante la restauración el color desert es perfecto. Felicidades por disfrutar de tal belleza de makina o vehículo. Que lo disfrutes mucho muchosss años 🤙🏼
My dream is to have one Kattenkrad in Brazil, and take to walk around and buy some stuffs in shoppings, lol would be more cool and awesome if one day i can buy a original german tank and go to a walk around with the tank
Did the kettenkrad have rubber tracks at this time or is it small enough to not need them? Im looking into buying a replica and wonder if rubber tracks are needed for asphalt roads
My father, a WW II veteran , once said, the center of gravity of this vehicle was too high, it used to tilt away in fast curves or diagonally on the slope. The Bren gun carrier was more practical. Anyway, nice expensive toy in peacetime.
If this the vehicle he uses for buying groceries, he probably attends to the opera and important events in a Tiger tank.
and probably go to business meetings in a kugelwagen jaja
king tiger 💯😁
For visiting friends he uses his Sd.Kfz. 251

Japan belonged to the Axis powers, so it was an ally of the 3rd Reich. So it was probably a regular delivery of weapons or manufactured under license.
I knew I guy in Illinois that owned one in the 80's. Don't remember what he paid for it but I do remember him buying tread links at $200 a piece.
@@bifflowenklein5037 whoever steals something can sell it cheaply.
you can be cool but never can be as cool as a guy riding a kettengrad....

to go get groceries nonetheless
Hey look, my clone
"I love this guy!"
That's all.
Politics, religion, and ideology have nothing to do with it.
I just follow my "feelings".
Can you do a video talking about yourself and your collection and maybe Japanese laws regarding owning these vehicles? This is really interesting!
yes
How much did u buy this for ???

^This
This is what I would spend my money on, or a tank because I can
"Hi Honey, I'm going out to buy some milk. I'll take the Kettenkrad. The King Tiger is out of fuel..."
King Tiger has poor fuel economy! Will you replace it with Pz.II?
@@ザク爺 Thanks for sharing. My best wishes to enjoy your Kettenkrad for 100 years and keep her always in good shape !
🤣
King Tiger is always out of fuel! Not exactly a kei car :)
ザク爺 this is exactly the kind of vehicle I would buy if I had the money, world war 2 vehicles like a Churchill
Grandpa's Last Tour, now airing on Crunchyroll
Greetings from Germany! Nice to see that this old vehicle still works. I would love to have one too lol. Now I'm jealous....
When I think of it as a machine, this is one of the great German inventions.
@ザク爺 if the Germans didn't invent it then it isn't worth inventing
That guy is living the dream.
Its all fun and games until he starts staring intently at Pearl Harbor.
Dream on the account of others.
That National Socialist, Asian co-prosperity biker vibe. Can't beat it.
Damn it lmao
seems way nicer when you don't involve the shitty cringe politics tbh

It's shorter just to say 'cancer'.

You made my day. :-) The best purpose for the vehicle. Greetings from Germany
And I thought I was strange doing lunch runs in my Kübelwagen...
I have a friend with a VW Thing and sometimes he gets puzzled looks from people who've seen too many WW2 documentaries.

ケッテンクラートを原チャリ感覚で乗り付けてるの好きw
生で見てみたいですね～
何処かのイベントでお会いできるといいですね。コロナめ！💢
When you’ve been reading ww2 history books and midlife crisis hit.
Good one ! 😂😂😂
"I said to the store I want a used small tractor and this is what I got."
Yes! That's right.😁
I mean, they're half right
This is an interesting vehicle to use when shopping.
When you live in Ooarai and get influenced by the GuP vibe:

Cracked me up. Having been in Japan 22 years now, I'll bet people don't even notice it.
I usually hide it in a chest of drawers.(Lol)
That is the most boss thing I've seen all week.
I could become good friends with that gentleman. Going out for some beers in the Kettenkrad.
That's the best thing I've seen so far this year.
"I'm just nipping to the shop. You need anything?"
-Errr, No pun intended.
Give me a cold beer, please!
Really? No pun intended?
@@imadrifter, yep.
Dude. That is the biggest girls last tour fan I have ever seen.
That is one cute little motorcycle tank think. Very cool.
With 2024 fuel prices, people often only use their King Tiger for trips when the size is necessary.
What an awesome ride! Greetings from Germany :-)
おじさん週末旅行
When you got to get those Friday sales deals at noon and push the front to Moscow at 1.
Ein super Teil...ich liebe dieses Fahrzeug....das HK 101 ist ein tolles Gefährt...es gab auch einen Nachfolger...
Living the dream, very nice!
When I grew Up,I wanna be like this guy..
good to see something like that is being used for more than parades and movies. Keep it running you madlad
Holy shit that's well preserved
Probably the best bang for your buck, wish company’s would recreate this design today.
It must feel nice to own one of those, great video! I hope you have a nice day
"nice"?
I wish they still made these they are amazing

It's been 3 years, but I hope you're still alive and driving that thing around
Das gute Stück läuft ca. 70km/h. Ich habe selber schon mal eines gefahren.
Perfectly suitable for nipping down to the shop... in covid pandemic madness hour.
Imagine dad taking the kids to school in it. He'd be the coolest dad in town.

Nice! Schönes Spielzeug! 😊
This, Pz II Luchs/Lynx, BT-7 and M8 Howitzer.

I want to see him using the shovel for something. Maybe stop by some neighbor to help with gardening?
I use it when I eat the ice cream I bought.
I remember seeing one of these in a German military museum at a local Kaserne. Around 1990. I thought, ok.........🇺🇸😎👍
This is the vehicle you need when you live somewhere Subarus struggle with the terrain.
I love the lefthand traffic in Japan ;)
Japan took a cue from England.
Great for Kazakhstan roads.
Japan looks so nice !
this is a very useful vehicle if you do live in remote places though.
Is a mini tank wit a motorcicle weel on the Front
look mommy! a tank puppy!
Woowww niceee greating from germany
Left from the war, very VERY good on snow
Haha, this video made my day. This man need just an army helmet for the security and everything is well . All the Best.
Perfect invasion to a grocery store. I need this style in my life.
I would prefer a somewhat bigger vehicle, as I need some space for my groceries. A SdKfz 250 would be nice.
Super funny video! I tought the same of the rifle holders.
Cheers :D
The rifle holder is a boy's admiration.
Shopping with "Kettenkrad" in a ORGANIC SHOP ! COOL Guy !
where buy kettenkrad?
Did the kettenkrad have rubber tracks at this time or is it small enough to not need them? Im looking into buying a replica and wonder if rubber tracks are needed for asphalt roads
Really cool, thanks for sharing
10/10 video!
I need a kettenkrad in my life rn!
My father, a WW II veteran , once said, the center of gravity of this vehicle was too high, it used to tilt away in fast curves or diagonally on the slope. The Bren gun carrier was more practical. Anyway, nice expensive toy in peacetime.
The first Quad Bike lol
I wouldnt be surprised if you have a Universal Carrier as well
