We, here at the German Paintball Museum, love the reborn Kabinenroller. Thank you very much Achim Adlfinger! :)

I lived in Paris from '56 to '60 and these were all over the place and I loved them. There is definitely a place for these treasures both Electric and ICE in today's world. Congratulations on a determined and ultimately successful effort!

Eine großartige Leistung von Achim Adlfinger, dass er diese klassische Ikone wieder mit TÜV auf die Straße gebracht hat, - die Welt braucht mehr solche Pioniere die ihre Träume konsequent verwirklichen und mehr mutige inovationsfreundliche Investoren! Herzlichen Glückwünsch und meine Hochachtung! N.Lamm

I love this story. This guy managed to get his vision realized and timing is perfect with electrification. Finally I would like to point out that the Aptera car also has 3 wheels. But that has solar power charging. However this Messerschmitt is on the roads NOW.

@DWREV 8 күн бұрын

Like you said, this Messerschmitt is on the roads now. We'll just have to wait and see how Aptera (and other solar cars) fares. Sono Motors' Sion, for example, didn't see light of day (pun intended).

Love it. But the price around 24K€, sound a little on the expensive side, but then, it would probably be dirt cheap to run. But a little longer range, would be nice.

This guy has literally turned a dream of mine into a reality 👏👏👏 All I can say is WOW and please don't sue me when I build my own 🤣😂🤣 and yes I'm being 100% serious Keep doing what your doing these little cars have a way of captivating you and I'm extremely happy to see someone putting them into production again 👍👍

A dream of mine too. I worked for about 10 years in the old Messerschmitt factory in Bavaria and they had a number of these in the museum there and I would often see them running around the base. As a conversion for a daily runabout one of these would be 100% perfect for me.

Amazing achievement! I hope he succeeds. Unfortunately, I doubt Australian design rules might not allow it on our roads or modifications will be required for homologation in Australia.

I note the front mudguards are TG500 shape which is, I think, a shame. However, congratulations on reviving the 'schmitt. There must be room for more batteries to increase the range. This would be worth it despite the extra weight.

Me alegra mucho su emprendimiento, me agradaría poder ver un nuevo diseño, basado en el Me 262, con rodado 12, y ese frente de tipo tiburón del Me 262, creo que sería un nuevo modelo para el Me KR-200, un Me KR 262, motores como lo hacen ahora, ó tracción delantero, boxer, del tipo BMW, ó Citroen 2CV.

Can you produce this as an electrically-assisted 3-wheel bicycle (velomobile)? That sounds like it would be a good fit.

I also would like to add my congratulations . Electric , yes way to go , this is the future . To my mind , all electric vehicles will eventually follow this kind of route , they just don't know it yet . Personally , i think the future of large vehicles are numbered . Just a suggestion , take a look at building the wheels outta carbon fibre , i think that's another innovation , electric vehicles will need to master .

Greetings friend, We are moving my solar business to Portugal, from America, in a few months and wondering if we can order a couple of Messerschmitts? How is your Ukrainian partner doing? I hope he is ok and his facility can be moved to a safe place. I’m going to be buying some land near Porto and will have space for him or any other partners of yours that need help. Sorry to still pester you about the proposed Tiger 500, but I’m still interested in buying 2 of those, when you have them available. I can drop buy your shop and give you a deposit. Kind regards, Giovanni

you can bring that to USA...because its 3 wheel, it will be classified as motorcycle and no need for a lot of safety requirement....I THINK

It should be as narrow as possible but lean steer like a motorcycle. The reduced width would reduce road congestion as more cars could use the existing road width.

@marzsit9833 Жыл бұрын

actually, for a small manufacturer it is cheaper to buy the whole scooter. it is different if you are mass-producing by the thousands, but this company only intends to build small numbers so this is the cheaper way to go.
