Guide Story: Swincars with Chris Tayano

Guide story: eco-friendly electric ATV, the Swincar .

Hi fellow adventurers! I’m Chris, and I moved to Chattanooga and joined the ASI team at the beginning of July. The Swincar guide job -or Adventure Guide- has been one wild ride after the next and it is a great reminder that there is always something new to discover in the outdoor and eco-tourism industries.

If, like me, you are looking to discover exciting new technologies and beautiful new spaces to play outside, you’ve got to check out the Swincar. Adventure Sports Innovation is the only place in the USA that has a touring fleet of these eco-friendly electric ATV. Think, four-wheeler meets dune buggy meets spider, all wrapped up in a sustainably-built, all-electric package. And they. Are. Powerful. This is by far, the best ecotourism touring fleet I’ve seen!  Just last week my co-guide, Reilly, and I digitally mapped and timed over 14 miles of trails at Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center. We do almost all of our tours there, and every now and then, it is important that we get out and just explore. You know…for research.

We made sure to “investigate” every rock, fallen tree, hill, and hairpin curve, testing every obstacle to maximize for critical “wow” factors and fun variables. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that we know all the best places to both practice Swincar  basics, and to really test the capabilities of the electric off-road vehicles. Big thanks for Reflection Riding for giving us the perfect place to explore!

Here’s to new discoveries and to eco-friendly electric ATV !

NBC WRCBTV, Adventure Sports Innovation enhances outdoor experiences in Chattanooga with John Martin

Chattanooga’s Adventure Sports Innovation is taking your outdoor experiences to the next level. Adventure Sports Innovation in Chattanooga is taking your outdoor experiences to the next level.

They offer an abundance of options to see the hidden gems of the scenic city.
One of the activities Adventure Sports offers is the French-designed off-road vehicle, the Swincar E Spider. It’s making it’s North American appearance, only here in Hamilton County.
“The whole chassis is built on a pendulum design, so as the driver goes around a curve, the whole body will shift,” said Patrick Molloy, CEO of Adventure Sports Innovation. “It uses the driver’s weight to help keep the wheels flat on the ground.”
Because of its one-of-a-kind steering design, it allows those with physical limitations to experience parts of the forest traditional wheelchairs doesn’t allow. The vehicle is also fully electric, allowing you to enjoy nature without disturbance.
“The idea is that you want to be part of nature and yet, move quickly to your different destination,” Molloy said. “We come out here and we startle deer. We come within five or ten feet of them before they realize that we are here. You have to be on the brakes.”
Adventure Sports Innovation has many other options to enjoy the outdoors, based out of its Coolidge Park location. The company’s water activities will begin in mid-April.
“We had them open last summer and we’re gonna re-launch as soon as the river allows us to,” Molloy said. “We’ve got electric surfboards that have a Bluetooth remote. You can control the speed and you can get up and learn how to carve, riding a surfboard on the Tennessee River.”
Adventure Sports is also the leader in virtual reality experiences in our region, including simulators like hang gliding, riding a roller coaster you have designed and walking the plank.
“This is something where you go up an elevator to the top of a skyscraper, and tight rope walk out on a steel beam to rescue a cat,” Molloy said.

Adventure Sports Innovation (ASI) has been bringing new innovations for outdoor fun to Chattanooga since 2018, with unique products like the Swincar E-Spider off-road vehicle; a full set of Personal Transportation Devices such electric unicycles, mini-electric bikes and HoverShoes from InMotion, Enzo e-bikesE-Scootersmini-Segways, e-Skateboards and hoverboards for fun around town, and the Lift E-foilKymera e-jet bodyboard, Manta e-SUP and the Schiller waterbike for great times on the water! While you’re at ASI, experience the latest in Virtual Reality to bring the great outdoors inside, the FingerCoaster design-it-yourself rollercoasterFlymax: Extreme Hang gliding simulator, and Vertigo: Walk The Plank!
