No, they were not made from leftover fighter planes, though they had plenty of aircraft practice in their backgrounds. The Messerschmitt Kabinenroller ("Cabin Scooter") evolved from designs by engineer Fritz Fend, who had worked for Willy Messerschmitt's aircraft factory during World War II. They were built at that factory during a period when the victorious Allies proscribed any German airplane manufacture. The tiny cars kept Messerschmitt alive.

The very first ones were chopped and converted fuselages from left over 109's from WW II so I guess the guy or gal who designed the 109.
