When you think you´ve seen it all...

I find it really innovative and interesting, it´s all mechanical, no electronics involved.




French, but the image explain itself how does it work (more or less)

That´s exactly the reason, this is a technical forum, and smart and innovative inventions are appreciatted, unlike your fan-boy comment that ignores the value of the idea and only despise the inventor, the invention and even the people who like it

What does the Swincar really offer - outside of being a novel 'folly' - as a mechanical contrivance?

Nothing of real practicable value, 'cept maybe for a wheelchair bound person - IMO..

I´ve provided pictures and videos of a curious invention some people in the forum enjoy watching

What have you provided in your 6 replies Mr. Technical?






Moderators, if you want to delete all the replies in this thread that´d be perfect for me

I could see that concept being applied elsewhere, like electric wheelchairs
this might help with obstacles like stairs, curbs, uneven ground.

Evidently you don't read posts properly either.. are you "butt hurt" - because - you really have no idea?

If you had read it , you'd see - since I had suggested that the wheelchair bound - could find some value - in Swincar..

"Rather embarrassing..." ..for you - eh, Ric... ..but as the BSM said.. "Oh dear, how sad, never-mind"..

Dream on sonny.. I've had more points flogged from me, than you've been given..

& what has your contribution to this thread been.. more "piss & vinegar" - & just typically, bloody useless..

Why shouldn't the lame have some fun.. you can too..

So what? Plenty are..
Blag a ride in the S-C..
You might fit..

& do you really think your claim makes you so special, that you can be free - to be so bitter ?

That's how you present.. ( & hypocritical to boot, since you seem also, to feel free - to criticise others)..

Multi-wheel ATVs have been around for decades, & they are amphibious (unlike the S-C) too..

Because obviously the only real fun is riding a bike, all the rest is just people who can´t ride a bike...

Sure - If you can ride a trials bike, enduro ( or even MX ) bike, with any skill..

Why start wrecking your expensive ( but cumbersome) tow/support vehicle - otherwise?

So for you there´s no more fun than riding a bike, all the rest are substitutes for those without the ability to ride a bike... :wtf: :roll: #-o

There´s no accounting for taste JAW, your taste is just that, yours

I am, and I´d even bet my riding skills are much better than yours since I´ve been racing in MX for around 10 years. Also, to me it´s more fun riding a bike than driving a car, in that rock step I´d jump instead of strugling to go up, but looks like I´m a lot more open-minded than you since I accept many people enjoy driving all road cars regardless of their skills to ride a bike


BTW, I didn´t downvote you
