Why not Motorcycles, Two wheel and Three wheel or side car? All sides had them. Also the germans had the ketinkrad.

Kette = "chain", but it's also the common word for the tracks of a tracked vehicle

Krad is a (nowadays rare) clipping of the word "Kraftrad" = motorcycle

Thus Kettenkrad is a tracked motorcycle.

A picture search for "kettenkrad" on google brings up a lot of pictures, also the Wikipedia entry of Kettenkrad has one (along with some valuable information)
