Fellow Autopuzzlers, I present my first group puzzle: Three-Wheelin' Around The World. Yes, I know that there have been several group puzzles about three-wheelers before, and I know there are handy resources out there such as Quiller's book; I have tried to make it so that there were no reposts and no vehicles from that book, though I guess there might be oversights. Also, there may be the odd one or two that are not strictly three-wheelers, but have two rear wheels very close together; please forgive the cheekiness!

The idea is that each of these 16 three-wheelers comes from a different country. For a point, tell me the name of the vehicle and the country it comes from. No clues will be given for the moment, in order to keep the thread somewhat orderly.

Here they are:

Perhaps this will tempt SeaLion to return - but there'd not be much for us if he did!

Go Experts!

The letter o puzzle trike is called "The Zing" by Ken Fry.

el_monty · « **Reply #8 on:** April 22, 2017, 09:17:43 AM »

Yes! It's the Zing. Since I asked for the country of origin of each one, it's locked for you to provide it. Just a formality really.

~~Well I'm finding it impossible to modify the answers post at the moment to include this answer. I hope the problems that the forum is experiencing can be sorted out soon.~~
Ah! I found a way.

I might have misjudged the difficulty of this puzzle... I thought that the Experts would pounce upon it. To give them a fair chance before the Pros get to it, from now on I will accept questions.

Letter k is a battery powered Vikram EV from India

Hiawatha · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2017, 09:53:28 AM »

Letter A is Mustafa Mohammadi's solar powered trike from Afghanistan

el_monty · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2017, 10:04:23 AM »

Hiawatha collects two points!
The Vikram EV was built by state-owned company Scooters India Limited (SIL), though as far as I know it has remained a demonstrator.
Mustafa Mohammedi's vehicle is reportedly named "Photon"; his creator is a young engineer from Kabul (only 25 years old) who built it in a mere 45 days.
Unedited pictures of these two vehicles below.
