The ground flyer from the aircraft manufacturer
Designer Fritz Fendt finds a willing partner in Messerschmitt for the production of his Cabin Scooter. The former aircraft manufacturer is now subject to Allied restrictions and is looking for a new business field. Their paths separate again in 1957, when Messerschmitt is allowed to build aircraft again. Cabin Scooters continue to be built up to 1964 by FMR, and are one of the most successful vehicles of their kind.
Quote from the operating instructions:
„Entering and exiting the cabin scooter is a little different from what you are used to with other vehicles. (...) Now take your seat as follows:
Swivel the seat upwards / Move the steering wheel slightly to the right / Place your right foot in the centre of the vehicle / Sit down / Insert your left foot / Set both feet to the front / Only now should you support yourself with both hands on the sloping side frames and allow the seat to slide forwards.“
