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.
Ha, yes, I was checking to see if anyone had already commented on this. It's a very modern motorcycle engine and gearbox. FWIW it won't have a reverse gear....
I have a peel pw50. Got it on Craigslist for $450. It’s a 2 stroke manual 80cc engine from a mx bike. Thing hits 60mph. It’s scary fast. You can buy them new and get them shipped free with a price of $10,000. You can like customize it however you want
You need to add the line up of NSU cars/transportation. Two of my buddies raced down the halls of their high school in their micro cars. An NSU Prinz was one of the cars.
Egon Brutsch Fahrzeugbau means roughly "Egon Brutsch Vehicle Works." Fahrzeugbau ("vehicle builder") is a company description, not part of the guy's name.
LIT GOD You wouldn’t like to be in one with crazy drunk drivers driving huge trucks around you. The best cars are the biggest and the heaviest. A little car is a death-trap.

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
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.
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.

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.

Wouldn't be possible to design a car that size to look "threatening" in those era's, to begin with. The Cadillac's looked like giant rolling airships from hell, Chrysler's looked like aircraft carriers..None looked "friendly". Not even Benz or a Rolls.
Live in Germany and ride regularly the Renault twizzy renting it quite cheaply. It runs around 85km/h and has a range of 80km, too. Quite minimalistic in its features it is a quick accelarator(it is fully electric) and due to missing glas or windows you might close, a perfect fun vehicle for good weather inside a city and for short tours. It is a fun ride and you have the watchers on your side. Just drove it last saturday for shopping and enjoyed it a lot, like always. Ouh and parking is quite easy and the back seat can take even a guy of 1,90m as I tried out once, cause he can stretch his legs to the left and the right of the driver in the front seat. Butterfly doors give it also some unique style when getting in and out. All in all it is a normal part of my reality, not like the rest in this video, that I will problably never see although I know the Isetta from seeing it some rare times since I live here. And I think you missed another german small one that I have still seen in the early 70s in my childhood. The Goggomobil... Greetings...
I would love to own one of the little peel cars (No 2) I think it is fantastic but definitely only with an electric motor .. a normal engine would be deafening to drive! 🚗
The Henkel Cabine was quite sold here in Brazil. But it ended up being forbiden. Yeah. It had some awesome features, it would never be upside down. But in case of a crash, it was fairly usual the driver lose his/her legs.
Small cars might be the answer, Breaking News, Ford Announces by 2022 they will stop many all Car save for the Mustang and focus fully on their Trucks and SUVs. ( this isn't a joke )
Beef up the frame on 'The Pea', add reinforced carbon-fibre panels, racing seat with full harness, larger wheels & gutsier motor, & you'll have one of the craziest stunt-cars! One that will keep on rollin' when you roll it!
I think any of these cars would be perfect, for "you drive it" guided tours in national parks. For that application, I would recommend models that can seat 2 or more tourists. They would basically be driven like fast, long range golf carts. Being fully enclosed, would offer some protection from the featured wild life.
My Father had an Isetta back in 1958-9, I don't remember anything about it because I never even rode in it, lol. If I remember correctly he just used it to drive back & forth to work.
Yep, you're right! It's Renn-oh. Maybe, someone was confused about that city in Nevada. It is definitely NOT pronounced like the Nevada city, but instead, Renn-oh.

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.
Some cool, some not as much. Such a pity the opposite happening in reality.. like Ford in the U.S. is going to cull smaller cars in favour of more SUV and pick-up trucks. Globally SUV are outpacing the rest of the segment in sales.
They used to do great videos, butanol they seem to do very little research, and use fake thumbnails. They also butchered every German word across the video...
Right now I use a bicycle with a gas engine.....but it's not Ideal since it was made for lighter people, and I weigh in at 300 lb. and has no sides or top for when it rains here in St. Petersburg, Florida USA.
Those last 2 were the sweetest things ever, I'd love to have either one! And just a free word from a (very real, interested & ready) consumer, people want prices. & if one can be categorized as a personal mobility scooter... that's a VERY GOOD THING, cuz one not only needs not pay auto insurance, nor have a driver's license, but Medicare may pay a portion... or at least the tax:) You'd actually be surprised at some of the faster enclosed mobility scooters:) Perhaps do a video on that?
The thing is not even proof-read. Read this extract from the transcript: This bubble car runs on a 236 cc split-single two-stroke 08:36 motorcycle engine and could reach a top speed of 31 mph 08:40 in a whopping 30 seconds. 08:41 And its top speed? 08:43 About 47 mph and up to 1,000 miles on a single tank. So we have a top speed of 31 and then 47 mph. And they insulted the Isle of Man about 8 times. Total shit.
herguttentag9000 I bought an Alliance used from a guy who I used to work for. Months I had no idea where the horn was & pre-Internet & not a French speaker that manual wasn't much help!! I was driving one day and I fumbled for my turn signal as I nearly was past my exit I heard the horn! It was on the stalk switch, you push in like old car's washers to push in to make them work! Beating on the center of the steering wheel did nothing.
Soon "real" cars will be taken out of citys as they are too poluting. These little bugs may be the only things that could be driven there. Less fumes, crowding, noise. Sounds like a win all round.
Allen Cohen That is the compromise of so many of the small car's we drive compared to real world vehicles that good fuel mileage is gained by doubling as a coffin!
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!!!
Just pointing out: When you mentioned the German Luftwaffe It is not like "Luhft-Waff". It is pronounced like "Looft- Waffa" with emphasis on the "Looft" part. Also. Engines run on fuel. Motors run on electric. The 350 in my truck is not a motor. It's an engine.
Before it closed its doors I used to visit the museum of small cars in Georgia. A terrific place to casually walk through, read the history of their bubble cars, and get some bubble gum along the way :)
@@sharonbraselton3135 I went looking to see who could still own those. Weren't they a leased car that got crushed in 2003? Only 20 were spared the crusher. Those 20 went to schools and museums. One was found parked in a private parking garage covered in years of dirt, leaves, filth. rotted and flat tires. It hadn't been moved in years. Were you one of the folks who leased the car or one of the 20 who was left with an inoperable EV1 sans the battery pack and fully bricked controls?
Let's not forget about the Messerschmitt, and the vapor-ware Elio, and the Polaris Slingshot, and the Reliant Robin, and the Electra-Meccanica Solo, and the Vanderhall Edison, and the Morgan, and the AC Invacar, the Crosley, and there's actually dozens more.....
Excuse me. I am Argentine and fan of cars and you said some wrong info about BMW Isetta 300....1st in Argentina named brand Isetta DeCarlo was another car .....small but bigger tan this ...and 2nd BMW Isetta 300 really has reverse and 4 shifts gearbox....
That last bit where the car was falling apart was so funny.... I have a Motorino XPN eScooter, and love my ride. I hardly ever use the car anymore, except for picking up items that are to big to carry with the scooter, or in shitty Canadian winter storm weather.
@Rodrigo and Ben Yes... well, you know, that is definitely a consideration when deciding what type of vehicle to buy --- I remember seeing an interesting gas-mileage comparison in a Shell Answer Book back in da early '80's... it pointed out that a medium-sized passenger-van actually gets the same "people-hauling" MPG as a mo-ped: the van gets ten miles per gallon but seats ten people, whereas the mo-ped gets a hundred miles per gallon but only transports one person, and so if all of the van's seats are full, both vehicles effectively use the same amount of gas to transport ten people.
If all you do is urban driving and stay off of the freeways, you never need to exceed 40 to 50 mph, depending on what city you're in. These vehicles could be great for such use, if they are reasonably reliable and safe. However I suspect several of these are not!
The Isetta was actually quite successful. In my childhood there were still many on the road.

Dear lord that pronounciation of german words.......
Not to mention him slamming that hard 'T' at the end of Renault.
HOW TRUE Fortune0
What you expect from a moron from the united stupidity of america?

alexs I’m from America and I’m fluent in German, Being American I can confirm most of us are dumb but not all of us are.
Not only would I own one.......I WOULD PREFER ONE!
Me too, since I would only use it to go to the supermarket.
Right now I use a bicycle with a gas engine.....but it's not Ideal since it was made for lighter people, and I weigh in at 300 lb. and has no sides or top for when it rains here in St. Petersburg, Florida USA.

Those last 2 were the sweetest things ever, I'd love to have either one! And just a free word from a (very real, interested & ready) consumer, people want prices. & if one can be categorized as a personal mobility scooter... that's a VERY GOOD THING, cuz one not only needs not pay auto insurance, nor have a driver's license, but Medicare may pay a portion... or at least the tax:) You'd actually be surprised at some of the faster enclosed mobility scooters:) Perhaps do a video on that?
I would love to drive one of these especially in crowded cities like Portland Oregon, or Settle Washington.
Unsubbed for how badly you pronounced Luftwaffe. I'm serious.
It's a good thing you never make mistakes.
The thing is not even proof-read. Read this extract from the transcript:
This bubble car runs on a 236 cc split-single two-stroke
08:36
motorcycle engine and could reach a top speed of 31 mph
08:40
in a whopping 30 seconds.
08:41
And its top speed?
08:43
About 47 mph and up to 1,000 miles on a single tank.
So we have a top speed of 31 and then 47 mph.
And they insulted the Isle of Man about 8 times. Total shit.
lmao poor kid
Maybe he can't say it LuCaS
He also said “cee-yoo inch”, instead of saying “cubic inch” the way most people know how to do.
Lmao they are so cute
That last vehicle kind of looks like a Volkswagen van. I like it.
I've seen one or two of these, but I had no idea there were so many like this and some were THAT small!
Please pronounce it as Reno not renalt...
herguttentag9000 I bought an Alliance used from a guy who I used to work for. Months I had no idea where the horn was & pre-Internet & not a French speaker that manual wasn't much help!! I was driving one day and I fumbled for my turn signal as I nearly was past my exit I heard the horn! It was on the stalk switch, you push in like old car's washers to push in to make them work! Beating on the center of the steering wheel did nothing.

Cool story bro
It’s not “looft waf” it’s lufftwaffe.
Nope, not that either.
*Luftwaffe
It's not on the list, but I own and drive a classic mini moke.. 😁
I believe the British version did not have a reverse to comply with some of their laws. I believe the other versions did have a reverse.
the P50 is the smallest production car. there are cars that are smaller but did not go into production.
I think they are more micro cars than mini cars. I think they are cool. I would not mind driving them.
They may be economical, however, if a real car should hit you -- You are dead !!!
Soon "real" cars will be taken out of citys as they are too poluting. These little bugs may be the only things that could be driven there. Less fumes, crowding, noise. Sounds like a win all round.
Due to runaway population growth, you are probably right.
Obviously we will not be safe until all the "real" (oversized) cars are taken off the roads.
Allen Cohen That is the compromise of so many of the small car's we drive compared to real world vehicles that good fuel mileage is gained by doubling as a coffin!

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!!!
The BMW iseta!
Awesome !! Can you still purchase some of those vehicles at a reasonable rate?thank you so much for your show I really really enjoy it!!
They left out the Honda 600cc Coupe! One of my favorites!
Buy Honda gull wig
Just pointing out: When you mentioned the German Luftwaffe It is not like "Luhft-Waff". It is pronounced like "Looft- Waffa" with emphasis on the "Looft" part. Also. Engines run on fuel. Motors run on electric. The 350 in my truck is not a motor.
It's an engine.
I kept thinking he said microwave instead of micro car 🚗...
Hope Hampson maybe they added a microwave to the pizza car...
Before it closed its doors I used to visit the museum of small cars in Georgia. A terrific place to casually walk through, read the history of their bubble cars, and get some bubble gum along the way :)
Gm 1 in ga
@@sharonbraselton3135 I went looking to see who could still own those. Weren't they a leased car that got crushed in 2003? Only 20 were spared the crusher. Those 20 went to schools and museums. One was found parked in a private parking garage covered in years of dirt, leaves, filth. rotted and flat tires. It hadn't been moved in years.
Were you one of the folks who leased the car or one of the 20 who was left with an inoperable EV1 sans the battery pack and fully bricked controls?
Let's not forget about the Messerschmitt, and the vapor-ware Elio, and the Polaris Slingshot, and the Reliant Robin, and the Electra-Meccanica Solo, and the Vanderhall Edison, and the Morgan, and the AC Invacar, the Crosley, and there's actually dozens more.....
Number ten was driven by Erkal.
WTF is a "Rinolt"?
Good video Top 10 Coolest Mini Cars You Won't Believe Actually Exist true
I have a 1980 Triumph spitfire. I’m 5.7 and have a hard time getting in and out. But I love it.
amazing stuff I subscribe
"Luft waaaf" lol That is not how it is pronounced.
Excuse me. I am Argentine and fan of cars and you said some wrong info about BMW Isetta 300....1st in Argentina named brand Isetta DeCarlo was another car .....small but bigger tan this ...and 2nd BMW Isetta 300 really has reverse and 4 shifts gearbox....
That last bit where the car was falling apart was so funny....
I have a Motorino XPN eScooter, and love my ride. I hardly ever use the car anymore, except for picking up items that are to big to carry with the scooter, or in shitty Canadian winter storm weather.
I liked my own comment. Take that Society’
FIGHT THE POWER!
Why is the narrator so terrible at pronouncing words correctly? And FFS, use Metric!
I wouldn't put my life on the line for car like that
LoL The Isetta was the car Steve Urkel drove on Family Matters ... :P
Sarcasm as click bait sucks. car fails is a more correct title.
The small cars are too small for my whole big family :(
Buy mutiples

Rodigo Duterte hi duterte
@Rodrigo and Ben Yes... well, you know, that is definitely a consideration when deciding what type of vehicle to buy --- I remember seeing an interesting gas-mileage comparison in a Shell Answer Book back in da early '80's... it pointed out that a medium-sized passenger-van actually gets the same "people-hauling" MPG as a mo-ped: the van gets ten miles per gallon but seats ten people, whereas the mo-ped gets a hundred miles per gallon but only transports one person, and so if all of the van's seats are full, both vehicles effectively use the same amount of gas to transport ten people.
Keep dick in pants....too many damn ppl
Cool mini cars you won't believe actually exist
Shows picture of a car that doesn't exist!
which one would that be?
I thought the company making the Sparrow went bankrupt. Sounded like it's still available.
So many triggered Europeans, cuz you said some words wrong.
So many ignorant yanks, who would rather get all defensive than actually learn.
Most of us don't give a shit.
I feel like we should all know how to say "Renault," since those were sold in America at one point
If you're going to narrate make sure you know how to pronounce the words you're supposed to be reading.
I like the iseta 1000 miles on a tank is unheard of plus Steve urkel had one can't beat that
*Clickbait thumbnails* that you won't believe exist!!! -Not clickbait
If they don’t go at least 70 MPH it’s a handicap vehicle for the retirement home.
If anything like these reach half that speed, they're a mobile-coffin!
GOD FORBID U EVER GET OLD ! I'm sure u won't though , stay young / immature
If all you do is urban driving and stay off of the freeways, you never need to exceed 40 to 50 mph, depending on what city you're in. These vehicles could be great for such use, if they are reasonably reliable and safe. However I suspect several of these are not!
