4/4 time, basic rock bet, with snare on 2 & 4, HOWEVER, bass drum is playing exactly what the hi-hat does (ie, on each eighth note), except on the beats where the snare hits. It looks like this
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &h h h h h h h h. . s . . . s .b b . b b b . b
This is the beat of many Neu songs, including "Hallogallo". I think the bass drum playing on all those eigth notes is what separates motorik from a lot of other regular old 4/4 rock beats (fast, driving or otherwise).
― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link
basically, the b's are supposed to line up w/the h's, and the s's are on 2 and 4. I hate the internet!

Chrisma, "C Rock". Not sure this has a motorik beat as such but is nonetheless a Neu! ripoff blatant enough to make Stereolab blush.

clean-related, here's one of my absolute favorite david kilgour jams with the heavy eights, "waveboarder," a total surf motorik cruiser.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gov24YPRDYM
and to reiterate something i posted years ago, the clean's vehicle is, with the exception of the 2 side-ending acoustic tracks, straight motorik joy.

Pulls on to the autobahn nearly three minutes in but then you get those Rother wakka wakkas so you know it's proper, and when the alternating Battlestar Galactica riffs hit you must salute.
