Swincar UK is taking several measures to reduce the potential spread of illnesses such as Covid-19. We follow the guidelines set out on the Government and NHS websites for non-contact attraction businesses. This includes but is not limited to:

• Thorough cleaning of all gear between tours
• Employees screened upon arrival
• A reservation only policy and timed entry for participation in activities
• Any guest exhibiting flu-like/Covid-19 like symptoms will be asked to leave
• All guests are requested to use hand sanitiser before their tour

Swincar is approved under European law as a light quadricycle. These are four-wheeled microcars defined by limitations in terms of weight, power and speed. Two versions of the Swincar are available, both are approved with L6e-A European approval (European directive 168/2013/EC-E5).

Now that the UK as broken away from the EU we are awaiting advice from the HSE.

The recommended maximum weight is:

• For a single seater 285lbs/ 129Kilos (20.5 stones)
• For a tandem, a combined 500lb/226.7kilos (35.7 stones)

Riders that exceed these weight guidelines may still use the Swincar but will experience a reduction in speed, performance, and battery life.

Height: There is no manufacturers specified maximum, however exceptionally tall riders’ heads may sit higher than the top of the roll bar. We recommend that all drivers wear protective helmets at all times however if the head clearance is deemed too dangerous by the guide you may be refused access on safety grounds.  

Yes. It is possible to roll a Swincar although it is far more difficult to do so compared to more traditional modes of transport. The pendulum design and low centre of gravity make this vehicle incredibly stable on the majority of terrains.

The top speed is approximately 20mph. However, Swincar are designed for fast acceleration, around 2 sec from 0-top speed allowing it power over obstacles and difficult terrain.

Two, single and Tandem

The Swincar design is particularly suitable for People with Reduced Mobility (PRM). The controls on the Swincar are grouped around the steering wheel. The Swincar telescopic link allows the quick opening of the articulated legs. This allows a wheelchair to be positioned closer and eases transfer into the driver’s seat.

Age restrictions do apply for those who intend to drive. Because our tours are guided and we can control the speed and course, a minimum age of 16 years is recommended.

At present Swincar UK are the only operator in the United Kingdom. If you are interested in purchasing a vehicle, please contact us via email or phone where we will be happy to discuss all aspects of your future purchase.
