Swincar E-Spider tilting electric car triumphs over all terrain

The diverse landscapes on Earth are incredible, strange yet bizarre at times. We are surrounded by beautiful places that we want to explore. Often, finding an appropriate automobile to take us there and help us explore is not an easy task. We may refrain from exploring certain regions due to the complexity that comes with traversing them. Trekking while carrying gear is not for the faint-hearted.

To conquer terrains with narrow passages, uneven surfaces, thick undergrowth and low overhanging branches of flora, we need a tool that will serve us optimally. We need a new way of driving, one friendly in all variations that the environment has to offer. This tool should surmount sand and snow, the hills and valleys. It should let us enjoy nature, the wind in the grass, leaves rustling, the insects and birds.

The SWINCAR e-Spider is all that and then some more. This is the perfect tool, optimized for triumphing over all terrain. Surprisingly, it is gentle and glides easily over the surface of the Earth. It is incredibly agile, easy and safe, yet hugely enjoyable.

Technical Features

SWINCAR e-Spider has a 4 wheel drive provided by 4 individual wheel motors. Each wheel is suspended separately on a spider-like limb. The electric vehicle has a rated power of 4kW (peak> 12kW) with maximum torque being 340Nm. The 4kWh batteries are built into the chassis. The battery provides a range up to 4hrs including 1000m of climbing, and it recharges during descent and deceleration.

Capabilities

This automobile takes turns exquisitely, just as a motorcycle leans into them and can briskly ascend or descend nerve-chilling gradients of up to 70 percent. You get to ride across a 50 percent incline that raises the right wheels several inches higher than those on the left.

The SWINCAR can handle huge ruts and extreme gradients with mind-blowing ease.

The Steering

Sporting hydraulically-assisted all-wheel steering and braking, it is swift and nimble to turn, giving each wheel a degree of litheness to deal with rutted conditions.
