Part motorcycle, part freaking tank!

My first question was "How could they steer that thing?"

That modestly loaded front tire would have difficultly overcoming the strong forces from the tracks keeping the vehicle going straight.

However apparently it has track brakes which are activated when turning the handlebar making it act like a skid steer or any other tracked vehicle.

So now my question is "Why bother with the front wheel?"

Either way it is not a motorcycle, but it sure would be cool driving one. Though I'm guessing very modest top speeds.
