Another beautiful reclining tricycle ...

I thought you were talking about Dati !!!

Thin, you add wings, rudders and a powerful engine and you have a navion ^^

Uh saw the name of the brand and the period (after the war) I think it's just the opposite that was done If there were there were identical parts ... like pares side breezes, wipers ice, seats, headlights, some small parts ???

It was during this period of "lack of everything" that the solex was also invented ...

Most importantly, after the Second World War, Germany no longer had the right to build weapons, planes, or own an army. It was Fritz Fend who was a professional engineer and inventor of genius, who had developed a car for the disabled, who had the idea to transform it by mounting a small engine 2 time, this cart has managed to seduce individuals seeking a means of economic displacement.

Well after the 1st war too ... in "theory" ...

There is interesting history on wiki pages:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR_175
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200

Interesting to read that it was originally designed for propulsion ... human!

After reading, I had just seen about the mechanical similarities with the plane:

The rumor that the Kabinenroller, called Karo (recalling the abbreviated form of the Karoline name), would include elements of the famous Me 109 fighter, was a real publicity stunt. Its aerodynamic shape, tipping edge access to the plexiglass canopy, the tandem two-seater layout and the search for lightness are all in common with an airplane.

There are still hugely in condition it looks like ...

Crazy was there an underwater version?



Oh no, it was probably stasi for the hideouts ...

[Obamot]

ha, ha, ha this one looks unique! Too bad she is in this state! That 4 wheels is not bad either it is a little cox! Given the shape of the cockpit in the shape of a bubble, it is obvious that transpires the last an aeronautical know-how.

Apparently already all aluminum (probably the reason why there are so many). Such a vehicle by nature light, would be extra for electric traction not?

[Christophe]

Yes have to look if there were electric conversions ... the problem is the volume I think for the accus ...

Google is your friend !

[ggdorm]

And the exorbitant price of this machine on the second hand market! If you have between 10 000 and 30 000 euro ...
I think that with Lipo technology and the removal of the engine and all its peripherals, there must be way to recover enough space!

[chatelot16]

there is a car dealer near me who has one of these Messerschmitt, but at a price really too exorbitant

this type of car is really interresting! you have to make a new model

this architecture is good for light, aerodynamic, and even economical! ... but do not put an engine 2 time that eats all the benefit

I would see this kind of gear with a Chinese generator engine 13ch!

this type of gear is really not limited to urban use! its great aerodynamics allows it to reach a high speed and not to be ridiculous on highway

My little petrol mini chopper consumes 2L / 100km.

A friend bought a diesel motorcycle, the cons is 1.2 l / 100 ...

Despite appearances, this bike is new:

Hello ,


Here is my dream this is a three-wheeled vehicle so the rear wheel with a wheel motor, so no more transmission nothing to break in fact so to speak, only the direction as moving parts ...

In the idea one of my project for next year, transformed a scooter engine block by adapting an electric motor, and put it all on a car without a license;) ... Well it is not yet a motor wheel but with the back block of the scooter, there is the advantage of double dimmer ...

Frankly more she has the mouth these cars, and as for the trike (bike version three wheel) if everything is well sized handling is terrifying in view of the descent made by fans of the genre ...

of the kind :

or that for speed, there is way to find faster;) ...

I looked for what engine it could be and I toruvé this thread devoted to this bike: http://royalenfieldlesite.com/forum/vie ... f=8&t=1536
