City of Truro

Trio of Trikes - 1/24

Peal P50, Messerschmitt KR200 & BMW Isetta

Peel P50 made from 1962 to 1965 on the Isle of Man 137cm long x 99cm wide holds Guinness World Record for smallest production car ever made. In 2010 Peel Engineering started production again – additions include reverse gear, 49cc four-stroke or electric models with electric moped motor and gelled-electrolyte batteries. It was 3D printed from a file I purchased online.  


Messerschmitt KR200 or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter), is a three-wheeled bubble car designed by the aircraft engineer Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt from 1955 until 1964. Passengers ride in tandem.  


BMW Isetta 300 Made between 1953-56 in numerous countries. In 1955, the BMW Isetta became the world's first mass-production car to achieve a fuel consumption of 94 mpg.  Gunze Sangyo produced this in 1994 and was sold as a pair.  


Electronics. Above models are all fitted with 0402 nano LEDS for external lights, indicators, and number plate lights. Each trike is controlled by its own Picaxe 14M2 microcontroller mounted on a bespoke PCB.  Power is supplied from an 18650 lithium battery that is recharged via a USB cable.


Base.  The base is made from a recycled Ferrero Rocher box.
