About Us
The Swincar has brought together an international community of entreprenuers, visionaries, and leaders in eco-tourism. Our mission: make off-road driving possible anywhere and thrilling for anyone.
The Swincar…
The SWINCAR e-Spider is a four-wheel drive electric vehicle designed and manufactured in the South of France. The assembly is carried out by a specialist, ISO 9001 certified, manufacturer.
It is radically different because of its exclusive patented ‘pendulum’ design, which means the driver is always level even when the vehicle goes on slopes.
The SWINCAR e-Spider is an environmentally friendly electric powered vehicle. Despite its powerful performance, it is quiet and with a light footprint.
Swincar USA
Swincar USA is a network of dealers, eco-tour operators, service centers, and independent sales agents around the country. Built around Adventure Sports Innovation – the first Swincar fleet operator and now distributor in the U.S. -. We work together to show America that off-roading can be quiet, low-impact, emission-free, and SO. MUCH. FUN.

The manufacturer: Swincar France
The Swincar concept began as the brainchild of Pascal Rambaud – architect, inventor, and motorsports enthusiast. He perfected the patented pendulum design at his home near Allan France, where the Swincar factory continues to innovate and produce vehicles engineered to world-class standards. The factory has received ISO 9001 certification on their assembly processes, and all vehicles are test driven by Swincar’s lead technician before being delivered to dealers or customers.
Adventure Sports Innovation
Headquartered in Chattanooga, TN, Adventure Sports Innovation brings to market the latest tech developments for outdoor recreation. The team at ASI identifies exciting, high-quality new products that would otherwise be impossible to test before purchasing, and the company builds experiences that allow adventure-seekers to try these technologies with guidance in a controlled environment.
ASI’s Swincar Backcountry Tours served as the testing ground for the vehicle’s capability, endurance, and thrill-factor. Confident after almost two years of putting Swincars through the gauntlet of commercial touring, and inspired by more than 700 smiling guests, ASI became the U.S. exclusive distributor of Swincar e-Spiders and the central hub of the Swincar USA network.
