Messerschmitt’s Kabinenroller-inspired three-wheeler is back as the modern KR-202, offered in a current 12 kW electric version and a 200 cc Piaggio petrol version identified by its maker as available for export. The electric model has a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 110 km in Normal mode; the current petrol listing does not publish comparable performance figures.

What Messerschmitt is bringing back

The KR-202 revives the look and tandem-seat idea of the postwar Messerschmitt Kabinenroller, but it is a newly made vehicle—not a restart of 1950s production. JMA-MESSERSCHMITT-WERKE S.L.U. says its current models are hand-built in southern Spain. Its home page update dated 28 September 2026 identifies a 200 cc Piaggio-powered KR-202 as available for export and also promotes the electric KR-202 E Sport. Manufacturer home page

The project had earlier development stages. A New Atlas article hosted on the manufacturer’s site traced the path from the assisted KR 25-E velomobile to powered KR-202 Sport and KR-E5000 microcars. That history helps explain the revival, but it is not a specification sheet for the current models. New Atlas development article

What the current electric KR-202 E Sport offers

The manufacturer’s current product page lists a 12 kW QS permanent-magnet motor and a 76.8 V, 120 Ah lithium-ion battery. It claims up to 110 km of range in Normal mode, with a full charge taking 4.2 hours and an 80% charge taking 3.2 hours. Those are manufacturer figures, not independent road-test results; the company says range and speed vary with load and road conditions. KR-202 E Sport specifications

Tamiya 61050 1/48 Messerschmitt BF 109E E-3 Plastic Model Airplane Kit
  • Highly accurate static display model.
  • package height : 5.6 cm
  • package length : 31.0 cm
  • package width : 21.8 cm
  • Top speed: around 125 km/h for the L5e version, according to the manufacturer.
  • Weight: approximately 250 kg running weight; permitted total weight is 450 kg.
  • Layout and equipment: two tandem seats, removable rear seat, hydraulic disc brakes at all wheels, GFK body, rack-and-pinion steering and an optional hardtop.

These figures and equipment descriptions are manufacturer-listed specifications. Buyers should confirm the exact configuration and applicable version with the seller.

Is there a petrol KR-202?

Yes. The manufacturer’s 28 September 2026 home-page update describes a KR-202 powered by a 200 cc Piaggio engine and says it is available for export. The page does not provide a current engine output, top speed, range, price or complete equipment list, so the petrol model cannot be compared with the electric version on those points using the published information.

Older figures belong to an earlier lineup. A 13 April 2021 Auto Motor und Sport report described a 125 cc four-stroke petrol model and an electric KR-E 5000 with a 5 kW motor and claimed range of up to 80 km. Those details do not describe the current 200 cc export model or the 12 kW E Sport. Auto Motor und Sport, 13 April 2021

Electric and petrol versions: what can be compared

Item KR-202 E Sport 200 cc Piaggio KR-202
Powertrain 12 kW electric motor; 76.8 V, 120 Ah battery, per manufacturer specification. 200 cc Piaggio petrol engine; current engine output not stated by the manufacturer on the cited page.
Range or speed Up to 110 km in Normal mode; around 125 km/h for the L5e version, both manufacturer claims. Current range and top speed not stated by the manufacturer on the cited page.
Charging or refuelling Manufacturer lists 4.2 hours for a full charge and 3.2 hours to 80%; charging conditions are not specified on the cited page. Current refuelling details not stated by the manufacturer on the cited page.
Availability Promoted by the manufacturer; reservation information is provided on its product page. Manufacturer home page update dated 28 September 2026 says available for export.
Price Shop listed at €22,500 on 8 October 2026; confirm current price and delivered total with the seller. Current price not stated on the cited pages.

The available details are uneven: the manufacturer publishes a fuller specification for the electric model than for the current petrol version. A buyer comparing them should ask the seller for the petrol model’s output, speed, fuel consumption or range, equipment, price and documentation for the intended market.

Price, ordering and registration

On 8 October 2026, the manufacturer’s shop listed the KR-202 Elektro Sport 12KW at €22,500 and its optional hardtop at €2,900. The shop also displayed accessories including 13-inch SIP aluminum wheels, a sunshade and a chrome luggage rack. Listings, stock, tax treatment, shipping costs and availability can change, so request a current delivered quote and verify which equipment is included. Manufacturer shop

The manufacturer’s product and reservation information says the vehicle is built in Spain and offered with a German model report or, by request, temporary registration. That is the seller’s description, not a guarantee that a particular vehicle can be registered in every jurisdiction. Before placing an order, confirm the documents supplied and check registration and road-use requirements with the relevant authority where the vehicle will be used.

  • For the electric model, how the claimed range may change with load, road conditions and the buyer’s expected use.
  • What is included in the quoted price, and the current cost of options such as the hardtop.
  • Whether the supplied registration documents meet the requirements of the buyer’s country or region.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
