SWINCAR e-Spider harnesses the natural forces of physics so that, like a pendulum, centrifugal force and gravity are combined in a natural equilibrium creating a very stable vehicle. Cornering or on slopes the driver remains horizontal whilst the wheels stay in contact with even the most uneven ground. There are four driving and steering wheels and when combined with the vehicle’s low centre of gravity, delivers an exciting but safe driving experience.
Downhill the engine brake recharges the batteries; this regenerative braking is very safe, durable and helps increase the range.
Concept
– Primary With the inclination controlled! Wheels and a reclining seat. Joystick tilt control. The wheels are articulated on a single pivot, which allows them to both turn and tilt. The degree of tilt of the nacelle and the wheels results from the speed
– Secondary Now the cockpit pivots around a fixed axis and the tilt angle is transmitted to the wheels. Each wheel turns on a single steering and tilt pivot. The steering wheel controls both the steering and tilt.
– Tertiary With pendulum balance! Only the centrifugal force causes the cockpit and wheels to tilt. Radial stress is transmitted to the wheels as they tilt automatically as a result of the vehicle weight and centrifugal forces.
– Quaternary SWINCAR development: SWINCAR is a perfect example of ‘thinking outside the box’ by its inventor. It was a Eureka moment, which came to him in a flash but there were years of development work… This version was finalized in 2016.
Pascal Rambaud’s genius idea is to have designed the Swincar e-Spider using the concept of a pendulum. Combining movement science and an original construction the vehicle has a particularly low centre of gravity.
Three Models To Start With!
More than just a cross-country vehicle, the SWINCAR e-Spider represents the art of electric mobility whilst respecting both the environment and others.
SWINCAR combines high performance and great driving sensation with silent running and low environmental footprint.
The SWINCAR e-Spider is a four-wheel drive electric vehicle capable of operating across a wide variety of terrains.
Designed and manufactured in France, it stands out radically from all other vehicles on the market as a result of its exclusive patented pendulum design, which tilts as the vehicle turns and ascends or descends slopes.
The friendly to use controls grouped around the steering wheel make driving easy. The SWINCAR e-Spider is controlled using hands only, making it very accessible, even to persons of reduced mobility.
The SWINCAR e-Spider MAGA can be driven on public roads in France and this version comes with rear lights, dipping headlights, turn signals, horn, parking brake, top case rack, tank and 12V socket.
The European (EU) road approval L6e-A has been obtained for the SWINCAR e-Spider one seater version. This will allow to register it and travel on all European roads.
The optional equipment includes: mud guards, mirrors, top case rack and detachable top case, safety harness, reclining rally seat, telescopic link which allows the opening of articulated legs enabling access for persons with reduced mobility (PMR ), wooden transport crate (ISPN15), SE14C packaging is available and recommended for sea freighting.

French road legal model: The Swincar e-Spider version MAGA has been approved road legal in France since July 2017 (MAGA approval Machine Agricole Automotive). It can be insured and registered.
The speed of a MAGA approved agricultural vehicle is limited to a maximum of 25 km / h on the road.
The European (EU) road approval L6e-A has been obtained for the SWINCAR e-Spider one seater version. This will allow to register it and travel on all European roads.
European approval (L6e-A) has been obtained for Swincar e-Spider one seater version. this will allow SWINCAR to be driven on roads throughout Europe.
sponsored by the Ministers of Industry, Trade and Foreign Trade, awarded SWINCAR the JANUS label for Industry for its SWINCAR e-Spider pendulum electric quadricycle.
With SWINCAR a new relationship between mobility, the environment, security, ease of use, pleasure and respect for others is possible.
The pleasures of driving a single-seater e-Spider are exceptional but many of you may want to share the pleasure of the ride.
SWINCAR has designed a two-seater e-Spider Tandem with a passenger seat installed behind the driver. In this way it takes full advantage of the pendulum design without any reduction in the cross-country abilities.
The two-seater version of the SWINCAR electric buggy can take you on new adventures in the countryside.
Rediscover the joy of a picnic in the forest or the fields.
This two seater version incorporates all the main features of the SWINCAR e-Spider model plus the following equipment:
– Passenger seat
– Additional brake lever by the steering wheel, operating the rear brakes
– Four 1500 W motors on wide wheel (3.5″ x 16″)
– Four reinforced suspension components
All the optional equipment for the e-Spider model (see the PRODUCT-Model e-Spider section) will fit the two seater SWINCAR Tandem model.
SWINCAR has finalized the development of the Tandem model which is now available for sale.

SWINCAR e-Spider design is particularly suitable for people with reduced mobility.
The controls on the SWINCAR e-Spider are grouped around the steering wheel and SWINCAR has also developed a range of accessories, which improve accessibility into the vehicle.
These features will allow even more people to enjoy the sensations and freedom on an innovative and hi-tech cross-country vehicle.
The e-Spider Mobility model includes all the features of the SWINCAR e-Spider model plus the following options:
– The SWINCAR telescopic link allows the quick opening of the articulated legs at 90 °. This allows a wheelchair to be positioned closer and eases transfer into the driver’s seat. This telescopic link can be installed on the front and / or the back, on the right or left, singly or in pairs depending on the customer’s requirements.
– A reclining rally seat with good body support and comfort.
– A safety harness that helps the driver maintain their position in the seat.
Customers can select their preferred configuration.
Venture away from sidewalks and explore the pleasures of the countryside. Enjoy outings with friends.
