The Opelit Mopetta was an egg-shaped, single seat, three wheeled microcar designed by Egon Brütsch, who also designed the Spatz Kabinenroller, in 1957 as Brütsch Mopetta using a 50 cc engine and an open roadster type glass fiber body.

A single wheel was in the front. The car was only 67 inches (170 cm) long. There were negotiations with Opel to distribute the car, but only 14 were built.

Brütsch mopetta replicas are now available built in the UK with a modern Honda automatic engine.
