Fellow Autopuzzlers, I celebrate my 333rd puzzle post with a new collection of three-wheelers from all over the world.

Once again, please tell me their names and country of origin, which is different for each one, except that in order to put together another 16 like last time, I've had to bend the rules a little bit: two of them are actually from the same country, but from different areas that used to be separate countries until not very long ago, so there.

Here they are:

Yes! Built by Micke Fredriksson, powered by a Suzuki GSX-R1000 engine. He also built a four-wheeled version, called MRide C42.

That's right! Tallinn-based designer Roman Muljar is trying to get this electric retro vehicle into the market through crowdfunding. Here's a photo of the full scale model.

Sì, certo!
This one of course not a retro creation, but the genuine article. This unit is probably from the 1950s

Two points for oko94! Both of them electric, the Sunnyclist from Heraklion has pedals and a solar panel added on top, to prolong its range when the battery starts running short; the Tilter, guess what: tilts!. I took the pic of the SynergEthic Tilter at the 2012 Geneva show, below is the unedited version.

n- Strike by Ken Seeber 1999 Australia

Three points for you!
The names I have for the designers of the City Car RC1 are Carlos Andrés Rodríguez and Edwin Mauricio Rodríguez. I guess they are brothers? Though I haven't found it specified anywhere, not even in their official website.
The name of 333-g is indeed Stiletto project, so you win the point, but according to the official website, its creator is Ben Harrison, nicknamed "Stilettoman", owner Chateau Stillwater Garage near Seattle. I think you have mixed in some information from other projects he has also made, he describes in his website the modifications he has made to three 1984 Mazda RX-7s, but they are not related to this project. The Stiletto is powered by a Kawasaki 1300 cc engine and it's much more recent than 1984, he's not very forthcoming with dates in his website but he does mention that the mufflers come from a 2005 Suzuki GSX so the car must have been built after that date (and before 2011, which is when a couple of videos of it were uploaded to Youtube.
Finally, we agree on all the data about the Strike. Seeber was an engineer working for the Orbital Corporation, based near Perth, which developed a series of fuel efficient, two-stroke engines for a limited Ford Festiva edition, called the Festiva Genesis. He used one of the stock Festiva engines that were left behind after the swap to power his creation.

You get another point for this one, as it is indeeed by Kyto Green Technologies, but the model name is e-Spark 3, and the company is based in Hong Kong, not the Philippines, though it sells its vehicles there. This is the instance I was referring to when I said "two of them are actually from the same country, but from different areas that used to be separate countries until not very long ago", the country being China, of course.
