Where is the Engine? 

Plus it's a hybrid too, it burns gas and oil.

you also have a bed, so it is a camper as well. Maybe you can call her as an suv 😀

🤣❗️

Needs a busa swap , id want to sit in the back for donuts

@@subiesubie ... a friend jokes that a proper hybrid burns gas, oil, and tires! (I think you can get the humor here)

True

A Veyron is a pos compared to this :D

👌

🎺🎺📯

Its a mid car

Yknow, I heard Zundapp and immediately thought Cars 2.

@@HobkinBoi Yeah, it was laso looking familiar to me, but when he said the name Zundapp I instantly recognized it .

@@syedhashir2970 Nice, I checked it, lol. Poor Janus :)

Which kinda makes it a shame that he didn't have two faces to mimic the symmetrical design more. Like imagine if he had one good one bad personality and so flipped back and forth between them.

He was a Trabant, made in East Germany. Outlawed from the streets after German reunification because of environmental laws. Part of the reason why he was so sour in the movie. He was outcast.

nah, go a step further. make the rear ones work too, BIDIRECTIONAL CAR!

@@tacoman487 tail lights on the front, back-up lights that look like headlights.

@@danstrayer111 Yes

Put a steering wheel in the back, extra mirrors ... put your dog behind the fake wheel and go through the citie in reverse😛😏

The license plates will tell you

Aaahhhhh. ☝️

😂

barts prank call.

Don't forget his head engineers, Mike Hawk and Ben Dover

@@Rhodanide Or their assistants, Mike Hunt and Seymour Cox. Oh, and their secretary, Sophonda Peters.

Great joke mate, still not enough to deflect from that, in general, driving bigger cars for reasons of one´s own safety, is like everyone being allowed to carry a gun, or countries trying to build the ever biggest nuclear bomb: It´s childish, bare of any logic and always ends in a catastrophy... So, I can understand your joke only as one at the cost of every egomaniac driving an Escalade in a city, fucking the life of everybody else around him in traffic... ;-)

​@@klausbrinck2137 Lemme guess... you're german?

@@joldsaway3489 Not exactly, but I live in Germany since several years... If my nick-name confuses u, I must tell u, that having a german name in a german physics- or microcontroller-forum is much easier, than my greek name, cause Germans physisists/electrotechnicians think they have to begin with the fundamentals if u are a Greek (and also spares them facepalming themselves each time I ask a question),, which I wanted to avoid. After this first good experience, I kept the nick-name for everything else... ;-)

@@klausbrinck2137 Well said!

@@klausbrinck2137 Big cars are great. We want more than just to go to the store, or just to work.

youre very clever indeed!

A 2 stroke motorcycle engine is very inefficient, lucky to get 25 mpg.

@@grancitodos7318 not true my 115cc yamaha gets 40km per liter..the downside is she needs 30ml of 2cycle oil burnt for every litre of petrol

And just think how well it performs in a crash! (Assuming you can get it to fast enough to crash into something. . . . .)

@@91C4NVA the sweet throttle response is addictive too, it fires every revolution and theres less drag felt on the engine from not having complicated clockwork like cams, camchain, tappet valves etc

Not a great history lesson considering Janus was an early Roman god and not Greek.

yeah, then a fly sits on such old car and the passenger inside dies because car has no safety

@@GewelReal true.. as much as I love these micro cars, they look like instant death if you ever get into a wreck

new cars need to be fast, reliable and most importantly be way more safe and comfortable, this is essentially a sheet metal box with an engine and 4 wheels, i love it, but at the time these things just dont go fast enough to even get into a deadly crash, theres 0 crumple zone, old very empty cars are super rattly and generally uncomfortable to ride for hours on end, not only that they're so weak that you could most likely destroy the entire car barehanded

Here in the Netherlands you can still get moped fuel at some gas stations. I use it all the time for my old Puch mv50

In North America, we have lots and lots of empty space because our countries have only been colonized by a post agricultural/industrial civilization for far less time than Europe, so travel distances here tend to be much larger, partly because people are spread out farther (people don't like each other, who knew?) and also because the sheer size of our country gives much many more potential destinations while remaining in the same country. So naturally we probably trended more towards cars built for longer distances and higher speed, rather than more modest town cars, at a faster rate than Europeans.

@@justaway_of_the_samurai Many many years ago, I was visiting my grandfather in Ireland, and we got to talking about the roads. Most of the roads there are very twisty and rural, with only a few freeways/motorways, between around 3 major cities. He laughed when he told me that car engines were dying all over the motorways, because now it was possible to drive at 70 mph for more than 5 minutes. Those old English cars couldn’t stand up to that.

Ive always wondered why the English prefer to use the word "boot" It has always perplexed me as in early 20th century you could find cars with literal wooden trunks on cars to act as storage. Does that mean that the English instead attached boots to their cars instead of trunks?

@@ThePaperKhan The word "boot"(which is commonly used by the English), goes back to 18th century horse-drawn carriages where the coachman sat on a chest, which was used to store, among other things, his boots. This storage space came to be termed as the "boot locker", which soon became the "boot".

Look at the Citroen Ami!

There are a couple of electric "cars" in Europe that qualify: Both the Renault Twizy and the Citroen Ami are incredibly minimalist and basic electric vehicles, classified as quadricycles instead of cars, just like the Janus. Low performance, range, comfort and safety, particularly with the tippy, airbagless Citroen, are a given, but they are cheap and sort of usable in cities. As for an actual car, the Dacia Spring Electric would qualify as minimum transportation, just barely. In Germany, it costs €10,920 after subsidies. With just 44hp, it's one of the least powerful cars sold today. Range is impressive for the price (160 km in practice) and it's incredibly efficient, but it's very unrefined, slow even by slow car standards, terrible to drive (incredibly basic things like the steering not self-centering have been overlooked) and has poor crash safety. Unlike other Dacias, it's not a good car by any metric. The Renault Twingo E-Tech is the cheapest electric car I would recommend. Starting at €15,420, it's got almost twice the amount of power compared to the Dacia, much more comfort, safety and better equipment, has good handling and actual refinement, the only downside being less range (130 km in practice). This is basic electric transportation for the masses done right.

We have safety standards theses days though

Niki Maluch but an EV

You have to see the microlino 2.0!

Most, this people have more Zündapp Oldtimers. Zündapp Schorsch in Germany is one of them.

@@ulanarni8804 I know we have quite a few museums and clubs centered around scooters and microcars around here. But I was referring to the enthusiasm of the americans, who would almost have been able to put one of these micros into the trunk of their "compact" cars, back in the day...

You wanna talk to one?

And I'd love to see that 👍💯

@@patkane761 Put an expansion chamber on , window port & reed valves . compression head . Lol

I'd rather sacrifice a little leg room to face forward to be honest

@@jama211 Really? I rather like the idea of having backwards-facing passenger seats

If your engine ever dies you could get a replacement motor from Haror Freight. Heck, a 2-cylinder 670cc making 22 HP would be an upgrade.

Unsafe at any speed. Over 5 MPH 😆

@@citibear57 For sure, 50-55mph would be the end of the world in one of those micro-cars, you'd probably have to put some better brakes on them as well.

I wouldn’t say stress free but I get your point.

@@AaronSmith-kr5yf A tuned 80cc Zündapp-engine can have up to 37hp, so 100hp instead of 14hp wouldn´t be that hard for this same engine (but 2strokes waste much more fuel, when tuned that sharply/radical). Of course, the brakes then wouldn´t be adequate, but one who can tune the engine like that, would surely manage the brakes-issue too... Here I quickly found a 49hp/125cc Simson-engine (similar to Zündapp-engines, both east-german): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bARcmJHuRAU.html

Have you seen the video where Colin Furze put the sport bike engine in the Tuk Tuk?

it leaves cash in your pocket!

Very cool. Is that smaller than the Robin Reliant? I know they looked better than the Reliant. My brother had Goggomobils, he loved them. I found them real easy to work on.

@@mikelynx4953 Yep. Much smaller. Than the Reliant

Still isn't bad. Considering your average megaton Cadillac, circa. 1930-2030 makes a bit less than 20mpg, a tiny car running on a tiny engine, be that a kei car or one of these, making 40 is just fine. I guess you just have to have realistic expectations, which isn't exactly something you can reasonably expect anyone to have.

if you're a 'dwarf' maybe ...
