This incredible all-terrain vehicle uses independent axles like spiders legs to drive off-road.
Spidercar does whatever a spidercar can, like drive up and down hill, or even across beaches.
French manufacturers MECANCROC have patented the pendulum technology, part of our patent, allows many applications that are currently under development, including a model for disabled people.
Despite tackling all kinds of inhospitable terrain, Spidercar is emission free and almost completely silent as it is electric powered.
Steep slopes can be tackled with ease thanks to four-wheel drive, while the driver is kept vertical by a tilting cab whatever the incline.
Each wheel is powered by its own 1 or 1.5 kW electric motor and suspension, allowing it to move independently and adapt to bumpy surfaces as if they were a tarmac road.
With a battery life of four hours, there is plenty of time to explore rolling hills and bustling streams in the comfort of a one-seater vehicle.
Unfortunately, the Spidercar is not yet available for purchase, but pre-orders can be made ahead of its release in 2016.
The machine is now in the industrialization process and we are taking the first orders in November. The road-legal version will be available early 2016 as well as a two-seat version.
