The Snyder ST600-C is a weird Chinese 3-Wheeler | Featuring WatchJRGo

The 2011 Snyder ST600-C is a Chinese 3-Wheeler that is weird in every way. Technically classified as a motorcycle, it is one of the most unsafe feeling "cars" I've ever driven. It's a 4-door, rear wheel drive vehicle with a 4-speed manual transmission, 35 horsepower, and virtually no creature comforts. Originally it retailed for almost $8,000, but WatchJRGo was able to pick it up 9 years later for just $1,800. Come along as we take a tour of it and then get it out on the road!
Big shoutout to WatchJRGo for bringing it by the shop!
Check out his video on it here: • I BOUGHT A 3 Wheeled C...

This really makes my old Daewoo Matiz look like a premium car😀 I saw lots of these last year in China.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Per Jonsson I’m sure they are much more common there, but in the US they are a pretty unusual sight! Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@rais1953]

I thought of the Matiz when I saw it too.

[@Swiss-ConfederationCountryball]

Lol

[@krullenbos94]

This is just a wonderful 3 wheeler version of a Daewoo Matiz which I still see regularly on the streets here in the Netherlands.

[@foxriverpwc4723]

It's clearly a "car" meant for sweet jumps. Well, probably just one....really sweet jump. Just wear a helmet and bubble wrap, and please catch the action with multiple go-pros.

richard hammond was the one in the car, he’s the only one who could fit in it

[@mderossett01]

They actually drove a very similar “car” when top gear did their china episode. 25 or 30 years ago vehicles like this were what most chinese families owned and they were lucky to have them. Most people don’t realize how quickly china has come into modern times. While we’ve been sitting on our collective asses china has caught up and will surpass us!

8:00 Although the speedometer says "mph" but actually it's showing km/h. That's why it's 20 off.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Jay Amarillo that makes sense. Classic mislabeling 😂

[@nokstabln]

the exterior is a daewoo matiz, in some countries Chevrolet spark/matiz, it came with a 800cc engine but in the front, some trim levels had AC and power steering, this is something else, some Frankenstein :))) you could flip it with 4 wheels, can only imagine with 3...

[@ElliottAlvis]

noksta bln Thanks for the information, I didn’t know any of that before. Yeah, it was not the most stable vehicle to drive as you could imagine 😂

[@Josh-dq2jg]

It is not a car even in China either, it's a tri-motorcycle. This kind of tricycles has disappeared for many years as too easy to get broken and very unsafety. Normally in China, only the old people will buy this kind of tricycle and drive it in the countryside as it is cheaper compared to a car. And it's designed for low-speed and short distance. But now in China, it has evolved into electric, which doesn't ask for a driving license and the motor plate.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

[@dempsej]

now google: "Daewoo Matiz" :)

[@ElliottAlvis]

dempsej wow, they look almost identical!

[@dempsej]

​@@ElliottAlvis it gets better. In the beginning it was designed for FIAT by Italdesign - it was called Italdesign Lucciola (google that :)). But at that time FIAT wasn't interested in buying it, so Italdesign searched for another customer and Daewoo happened to be in need for a new small car and bought the design - just slightly changing it to be a 5-door. Then it was sold/licensed to chinesee manufacturer called Dezhou Fulu Motor and made into a 3 wheeler, then sold as Snyder in the US. Phew.

[@ElliottAlvis]

dempsej wow! What a history lol

Chevy Sprint non turbo with 337,575 miles died could use a good replacement. Wife don't like the 1982 S10. It's a gas pig and build pressure in the crank, I'll trade the s10 in on it.

[@ianandelainemacarthur7737]

It looks like it's based on a Daewoo Matiz minus one wheel, and the engine transferred into the rear.

The Reliant Robin is far superior despite being decades older. interesting little car tho. Id drive one. But i am familiar with 3 wheelers. putting 10k in my Reliant. My 36 year old Reliant is allot faster and more stable due to how light the car is. also less rattles.

In Australia there used to be a simple little kit you could fit to a mph speedo to change it to kms. I suppose you could make the same kind of kit with the gearing reversed.
