At that speed the brakes are only adiquate. Not sure where the figure of 35 mph came from but at that speed you would not expect poor brakes. I respect your window on various cars is not a full specification but Messerschmitt did not actually make the car, FMR did using an unused factory and design input from Messerschmitt. The real constructor is actually automotively much more interesting being a wartime aircraft mechanic. There are overtones of the Odessa File in the way his Flitzer was picked up and turned into the KR175 then KR200, the car known as the Messerschmitt.
