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.
