Fun fact as well as getting the reversing detail wrong on the Isetta showing a FOUR stroke engine while saying it’s two stroke really does show how many of these videos are produced by people who don’t know what they are talking about.

[@Replevideo]

One error The BMW Isetta did have a reverse gear, and originally 4 wheels, the 2 rear ones only 9 inches apart. However for the UK market BMW wanted it to be classed as a tricycle which pays a much lower road tax than a car and can be driven on a motorcycle licence, which millions of Brits already had. To be a tricycle it had to weigh no more than 896 lbs. have only 3 wheels, and no reverse gear. The reverse gear was blocked with a pin in the gearbox, but it was easy to remove and make reverse operative. In 1963 that mod was made legal, probably because every owner did it anyway. Just unscrew a plug in the gearbox, pull out the pin, and replace the plug. I know this because I owned an Isetta in the 60s. The Heinkel got round the law by being able to start the engine up backwards, only possible with a 2-stroke engine.

[@lindathatcher9420]

When I was a little girl, my step dad bought a funny little car that looked like an airplane. Called a MESSERSCHMIDT. I asked my dad if he ever saw one. He said oh yes. We fought them in Germany in WW2. They were a fighter/ bomber. I started laughing. He said what's so funny? I said Daddy, its a car! He says really!? He hadn't seen one. It had 2 seats. One behind the other. And the roof was clear, shaped like a planes cockpit. You lifted the cockpit roof top get in. The was no way to lock it so i had to go with mom to the grocery store. People were staring at it asking all sorts crazy questions that I couldn't answer. My mom hated it. It was sold a short time later. I thought it was cute. But I didn't like being stared at. Plus it was hot in there. There was no way to cool it off while sitting inside.... No air conditioner.lol

[@kinchan3334]

Messerschmidt KR. 200 Cabin Scooter I actually got to see one in a aviation museum last month on display. Cute little car with a mileage of 100MPG which is ridiculous. Of course it would lower depending on the loading it was carrying ie passengers or groceries.

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

There were two versions of the Messerschmidt - the more popular one had three wheels, but there was also a four-wheeled one. They looked the same except that the 4-wheeled one had the back two wheels under little bubble-like mudguards at the back. I believe it was faster as well, though I only ever saw one.

[@ernestoparodi1828]

When you talk about the Isetta, please note that it was never produced in Argentina. It was only imported in 1958. In 1959, De Carlo got the license from BMW, but not for the Isetta but the BMW 600, which is NOT an Isetta, at least by BMW's official denomination. After the 600, De Carlo (Metalmecánica was the factory) also produced the BMW 700 under license.

[@ernestoparodi1828]

Isetta was in fact produced in Argentina's neighbouring country, Brasil, by Romi factory. It was said that it was the "first Brazilian car" but for Brazilian laws it was not considered a car, so the honour belongs to DKW. Isettas are named Romi Isettas in Brazil, first produced under Italian Iso specifications but after they turned to BMW specs.

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

Allen Cohen It would seem like that would be an issue, but in older versions and modern versions there were various ways to deal with safety ...in the older versions one had actual steel usually protecting but always then and now the driver and or passenger is basically surrounded first and formost by a roll cage. They are created to absob and disperse an impact before it ever reaches the occupant(s)!!! And then last and least the vehicles tend to be light weight so they are generally pushed or thrown away from the majority of the impact before ever effecting the occupant(s)! There is also in some vehicles gyroscopes in addition so if a vehicle is struck it will be pushed, thrown away, but not fall or roll over as the gyroscope will keep the vehicle upright and on it wheels!!! Actually pretty safe vehicles all the way around!!!
