Motocyclette Messerschmitt

Enclosed scooter or KR (Kabinenroller) by Messerschmitt, a German company initially specializing in aircraft manufacturing.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Messerschmitt, the famous aircraft manufacturer, resumed production of the Flitzer, a small vehicle originally designed for people with disabilities. Its Kabinenroller (enclosed scooter), of which nearly 46,000 units were produced until 1964, combined performance and reliability and became a must-have for microcar enthusiasts.
