Kettenkraftrad = Tracked motorised bike.

 

(Kraftrad is an old word for motorbike. By 1980 when I did my Civil Service Linguist (Army) course, "motorbike" had ceased to be a valid translation from Kraftrad. By then its meaning had become "moped" - in the traditional sense, not as per Fizzie, Bloop, etc. Do we still have the concept of moped since the rules were changed a decade or two back?)

 

Abbreviations to Kettenrad and Kettenkrad are both common and accepted.
