FMR Tg 500 - the tiger among cabin scooters

February 20, 2022 — Bruno von Rotz 40

Driving performance like a sports car for the price of a small car? This is exactly what the FMR Tg 500 promised when it was launched in 1957. Teething troubles and a waning enthusiasm for cabin scooters made life difficult for it, despite its sporting success, so that only a few examples were produced. Today, these are more sought-after than many a Ferrari. And they are fun anyway. This vehicle report tells the short history of the fast four-wheel cabin scooter and shows it in current and historical pictures as well as in the sales literature of the time.
