While there are many pictures on Pinterest of Cabin Scooters, i am going to continue trying to post only reverse trike type Cabin scooters. The reason is because many Microcars have lately been called cabin scooters. A 4 wheeled mini car is not a cabin scooter. Scooters have mostly been 2 wheeled vehicles until recently. Now there are 3-wheel scooters built as reverse trikes but most are still scooters. Without a enclosed space for the passengers it is not a cabin scooter. So this board is for true cabin scooters like these.
Many people consider the BMW Isetta to be a 3 wheel car. The reality is over 90% were 4 wheelers with the rear wheels spaced close together. There were some built as true 3 wheelers simply because england had higher taxes on the 4 wheels as it was classified as a car. So they started building them with 3 wheels to get lower tax rates. Here is a 3 wheeled Isetta which i think puts in the cabin scooter definition. After all i only had a 295 cc scooter based engine.
There is not a lot of information on cabin scooters so i will endevor to find out more about them and add it here.
Here's a few that i have found years ago.
The alantric by arak. i remember he built the fiberglass body for this idea of his but then he disappeared and no more information has been found. The design was based on the Chrysler Alantic showcar, but much smaller in size.
Here are some other Arak designs.
