Regarding steering, the Kettenkrad used the front wheel for Stability at high speeds when traveling in a straight line AND for steering on wide bends
It steered acording to the (kettenkrad) website a lot like a motorcycle with a sidecar. The handlebars were kind of secondary and the steering was done by weight shifting. I think I said that right :-) On the tight turns the brakes on the tracks were used.
Here is a drawing of the steering gear.

Thanks, Alfa. I'm getting the idea that would be a fun machine to tool around in!
