‘A wheeled spider’: Anand Mahindra shares video of an innovative cross-country vehicle

Interesting. A wheeled Spider. Not sure this will be a volume seller for recreational purposes alone. A potential mobility device for Defence & Paramilitary personnel? What do you think? @vijaynakra @Velu_Mahindra pic.twitter.com/vzTaeHlTja

What makes the quadricycle, named Swincar e-Spider, special is its ease of use.

As per Swincar e-Spider’s website, the vehicle can be “controlled using hands only, making it very accessible, even to persons of reduced mobility.” Powered by a “patented pendulum design”, the vehicle is able to maintain its balance even as it ascends or descends ragged or sloppy land.

Many people in the comments pointed out that the quadricycle is a good choice for pothole-infested roads in India and can be used as an emergency vehicle in cases of natural disasters.

We can use such vehicles even in metro cities during rainy season and natural disasters 👍

I guess it can be used in farm land for spraying, physically disabled, recreational sports, race, off-road, trekking areas, resorts, desert drive, theme parks and in botanical gardens. A photoelectric shade might improve its range.

May be a good alternative for Indian urban roads with potholes, and on Kaccha roads in the rural India.

However, demand will depend on the longevity of the device, cost, fuel consumption & the max speed at which it can run etc.

True sir. Present conditions of road during monsoon with pits ups and downs and big pathhole may create more demand also

Excellent mobility vehicle for tough terrain

Any day a good option not only in forces but more to do with short distance transportation system between place where connectivity is remote. Excellent option as the motors are directly on the wheels.Can work as transportation for Man and Material in the remote regions of Ladhak.
