The Heinkel Cab is a scooter that was launched in 1956 as the first passenger car by Ernst Heinkel AG in Stuttgart - Zuffenhausen . A prototype had already been shown in early 1955.
The three-wheeled vehicle has a fan-cooled single - cylinder four-stroke engine with a side camshaft, hanging valves and a displacement of 175 cm³ , which produces 6.8 kW (9.2 HP) at 5500 rpm and transmits its power to the individual rear wheel via a four-speed gearbox. The car has a load-bearing body (sheet metal on a tubular frame) with a front door and a standard folding roof. The steering column is permanently mounted and does not swivel outwards with the door as on the BMW Isetta . The cabin has space for two adults and two smaller children. The front wheels are suspended on pushed swing arms, the rear wheel is served by the drive chain box as swing arm. All three wheels have coil springs . The foot brake only acts hydraulically on the front wheels, the hand brake mechanically on all wheels.
In addition to the 175 cm³ model, a 200 cm³ model, the Type 154 , came out in the same year . Its chassis has four wheels, with the rear track of just 220 mm making a differential superfluous. For some export markets, for example Great Britain or Austria , Heinkel also stayed with the large model with three wheels, because three-wheelers were taxed less there. From the spring of 1957, the engine's displacement was reduced by 5 cm³ to get below 200 cm³.
In 1957 the type 153 was discontinued after 6,438 copies, in 1958 the type 154 was also discontinued after 5,537 copies. Production facilities and rights were initially sold to the Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland and eventually came to the British company Trojan Limited , which built these vehicles until 1965.
