Great video. I owned an Isetta back in the early 60s, so it was all kind of familiar to me. I live in the UK, and our version was a 3-wheeler which complied with British law allowing it to be classed as a tricycle, and you only needed a motorcycle licence to drive it. This was achieved by mounting the rear wheel centrally in the rear fork, moving the chaincase to the left, and connecting it to the engine with a short shaft with a rubber donut universal joint on each end. I often carried two passengers, but hey, we were young and skinny then. On one occasion I had 3 passengers. That was me, my girlfriend and my pal sitting on the seat, and my pal's girlfriend sitting on the floor in front of the other 2 passengers with her knees up to her chin. I also went on a camping trip in it with 2 pals, and somehow we fitted in it with our 2 tents, luggage, sleeping bags, and all our other camping gear. As you probably gather by now, I had so much fun with that Isetta, and I really miss it.
