In order to keep the company alive after Germany's defeat in the Second World War, Willy Messerschmitt leased out factory space in the gigantic but now empty factory premises in Regensberg. Widely diverse products were turned out by the factory, almost all of them having nothing to do with Messerschmit himself, the most iconic of which was the Kabine Roller (covered scooter) designed by Fritz Fend.

Another product of this period was the Mokuli triporter. Although it shared the Messerschmitt KRs' Sachs motor, it was an independent design. It was a light, tube steel motorized tricycle with a front-mounted delivery tray. The Mokuli was a popular enough to seller to be retained on the inventory when Messerschmitt sold the Regensberg plant and scooter production line to Fritz Fend in 1956. The Mokuli was in production until 1972.
