Motocicleta Pesada con Sidecar
Messengers, reconnaissance groups, traffic controllers, military police, and medical personnel often depended on solo motorcycles and combinations for mobility and speed. In the German army, motorcycle combinations were also used in large numbers to motorize Kradschützen motorcycle infantry units. The Einheits Beiwagen – standard mil-spec sidecar – was developed specifically for this purpose, it had mounting brackets for a standard light machine gun, and it was designed to carry a mortar. Heavy motorcycle combinations like the BMW R75 had powered sidecars with forward and reverse gears. The s.Krad category of heavy motorcycles included solo motorcycles and combinations over 500 cc, some of which were captured in the course of the 1940 campaign:
- Zündapp KS600 mit Beiwagen (E), 3x1
- NSU 601 OSL mit Beiwagen (E), 3x1
- BMW R12 (745 cc) mit Beiwagen (E), 3x1
