Heinkel Kabine

Production was transferred under licence to Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland in 1958.

However, the licence was withdrawn shortly afterwards due to poor quality control.

The Kabine Model 150 used the 174 cc 9.2 hp single-cylinder four-stroke engine that powered the Heinkel Tourist scooter.

In order not to infringe Iso Rivolta's patent used on the Isetta, the steering wheel did not hinge outwards with the door to ease passenger access.

The fabric sun roof served as an emergency escape hatch should the sole door in front become jammed in a collision.
