ferretfixer Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 way too cheap! The last one sold by Christie's there a few years back. Made over nine Grand! They fetch a lot more in Germany, approx six grand is about average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the six grand is more their worth, I own one of these little vehicles. & you cant put a price on the 'Fun Value' you get from them!

Tarland Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Someone got a bargain given that the trailer for moving it was included as well. Looking at the photos on the auction website I hadn't realised that there were passenger seats on hatches in the load bed beside the drivers seat. A design before its time. A Quad/ATV 30 years before the Japanese bike manufacturers thought of the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Quad/ATV 30 years before the Japanese bike manufacturers thought of the idea! Yes indeed! Had I known it was going to be sold at such a low price. I would have bid on it myself. The reason being, at a show. I could have one of the Krakas's in it's folded in half position. To show how they collapsed for air transportation! They run on a BMW twin Motor cycle engine, & are very quiet on the move! I get around Beltring / Major Vehicle Shows on mine. As they are small & very easily manoeuvrable. The size / thickness of the chains that drive each rear wheel hub. Have to be seen to be believed! Talk about German over engineering!
