I don't know the Jindalu. That's not the name I have for this, however

[Quiller]

Looking at those Chinese characters from Arunas, it indicates that it's a Chinese three-wheeler thing, but the background on your picture features Japanese characters, so I have to assume this is Japanese

[Quiller]

Japanese it is 

[pnegyesi]

Is it from one of the better-known motorcycle producers or was this a car-company?

[Quiller]

It's a currently available car, I believe it's the only model on offer

[pnegyesi]

Not one of my "usual suspects": Mitsuoka, Takeoka, CQ Motors or TMV. Hmmmm

Red Zone Piiyo
RED ZONE exhibited three models of its Piiyo three-wheeled, mini vehicles at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 show. Of the three models, the PIIYO Rock n Roll Pickup Truck drew a significant amount of attention with its first ever showing at this year's Auto Salon show. Featuring a 50cc OHC engine, a semi-automatic 4-speed transmission and a reverse gear, the truck satisfies mini car registration specifications. The vehicle, which is 2,450mm long, 1,050mm wide and 1,550mm tall, features a small yet adorable design and can be driven on public roads. The price including tax is 298,000 yen.
