Tilt wheel mobile

Hello
I saw an add for a swincar that caught my attention.
Could our group put together plains on ideas of how to build this four wheel independent drive and suspension bike.
Has anyone thought about this idea. It would a great diy project I would try.

Maybe only have two wheel drive assist one in front and the other kitty corner to each other.
You maybe able to peddle it on flat ground and use the motor assist to go over rough turrain.

Something like this in a bike form. simple and easy.
Any thoughts or comments ?


 
Given the way the wheels articulate, and in particular how it changes track width, I don't see how it could be pedalled at all. There's just far too much length and lateral change for any chain to cope with.
 
If you did a fifth wheel that you were able to use peddles on the wheel may not touch the ground all the time.
How would an axial with multiple universal joints work?
 
maybe make it a trike and the back wheels would have independent suspension and the front wheel would be the drive for the peddles?
 
Here is a solution

With respect that quad is totally different with relatively straightforward wishbones. That is a doddle to chain up with 1, 2, or even 4wd. The Swincar does not have cross body axles and any attempt to add them would cripple the articulation.
