Isetta/'Egg' was a single cylinder 4 stroke engine derived from BMW- had rear wheel set very close and was considered a 'cyclecar' as a motorcycle in some countries, got taxed and licensed as a cheaper motorcycle instead of car. SAAB had a 2 cycle , 3 cylinder in 750 and later 850cc derived from prewar DKW. The latest of 750 and the 850s had the oil injection system. DKW/ Auto Union had the 750, 850 and last 1000cc 3 cylinder 2 strokes- a 'military' version had a dual range 4 speed tranny for 8 forward, 2 reverse. The Trabant was east German made in the eastern DKW factory leftover from WW2- what the Russians didn't take back to soviet union. Fugi/Subaru had the little 360cc 2 cylinder 2 stroke that looked sort of like a VW Beetle that had been shrunk. Was a Japanese domestic 'Kei' class that got imported to US when laws were a bit looser regarding smoke and collision resistance. Jeep dealer I worked for in early 1970s handled Subaru also, some of the little cars came in for service. English Reliant three wheelers were 1 in front, 2 in back like the Asian 'Tuck-Tucks'- 2 stroke single Villiers and twins from the motorcycle makers. Suzuki had a 2 stroke, 2 cylinder 500cc sort of SUV sold under Samurai name in early 1970s. stopped imports about late 1970s when emissions laws changed, model name reused 1990s for the 4 stroke little sort of CJ3 sized 4x4. Lots of the little 2 strokes made in various countries post WW2, many trikes treated as motorcycles so affordable by many. Not many made 2 strokes now, smoke allowed out tailpipe laws changed and even the offroad ATVs, snowmobiles and dirt bikes going to 4 stroke in US and most parts of Europe, Asia. Minor exception yet for some 2 stroke 49cc and a few 125cc in some places. Bajaj of India has a commercial trike with a 175cc Kawasaki derived 4 stroke engine that was advertised as legal in California 2010. RN
