  • Ever wondered what it was like to travel in a bubble-car? This is the back-seat experience in Mike Webster's fantastic KR200 microcar with 200cc Sachs 2-stroke scooter engine. A genius piece of engineering by aero-engineer Fritz Fend produced from 1956-64.

    Neat little car! I wouldnt feel safe on American highways in it with traffic going 75-80 mph but for going around town or rural areas it would be fun.
    Thanks for taking us along on the drive!

    "You don't have to steer it, you think it through corners...it's very direct". LOL. I love that. Yes, it's an arm connected directly to the tie rods, it hardly gets more direct than that!

    Back in the 1970s, I owned two Messerschmitts. I never was able to get either of them roadworthy. You used to be able to pick them up for next to nothing, but now they are worth a small fortune. I also used to own a Nobel 200 which had the same Sachs engine as the Messerschmitt.

      That's really remarkable for a two stroke engine! I imagine the light weight and excellent aerodynamics played a large part in achieving that efficiency.

    • @superancientmariner1394
      @superancientmariner1394 7 років тому +6

      Dunno about the aerodynamics but they were very light. .If you took a sharp corner too fast, you could tip and become a 2 wheeler . Mind you, that mileage came down as any weight was added....like a passenger. or guitar amplifier
      What the chap was saying about the price of them now., the 3 I had the cheapest I paid a tenner for and. the other 2 were less than £20/
      This was the late 60s and you couldn't give them away.......wish I'd kept at least one of them..
