- 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...
Thanks for watching!

This really makes my old Daewoo Matiz look like a premium car😀 I saw lots of these last year in China.
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!
I thought of the Matiz when I saw it too.
Lol
This is just a wonderful 3 wheeler version of a Daewoo Matiz which I still see regularly on the streets here in the Netherlands.
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.
Sounds like it's got 6 neutrals lol -
Elliott: "it just doesn't care about safety"
JohnRoss: *Hold my Liquid Ice*
I came over from Hoovie, I love crap cars ;-)
Who decided the Daewoo Matiz was too powerful and had too many wheels?
Brian Farrington Someone in China I assume lol
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.
When I saw this, I couldn't get the thought of Jeremy Clarkson rolling over in a 3-wheeler out of my head 😂
richard hammond was the one in the car, he’s the only one who could fit in it
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!
@@mderossett01 i’m pretty sure this is the same model from the episode
The reliant robin was actually successful
@@John-ci2sd it was not a robin
Saw several Matiz copies in China, I'm surprised that was sold in the US.
RS Herres I’m surprised too. It can’t handle any US roads lol.
8:00 Although the speedometer says "mph" but actually it's showing km/h. That's why it's 20 off.
Jay Amarillo that makes sense. Classic mislabeling 😂
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...
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 😂
There should be a one make race series just for these
This makes the 1985-1992 Yugo GV look like a luxury car
Thank you Hoovie, this channel is GREAT!!
Wes H. Thanks for joining! Welcome!
Favorite Line from the video "It's not like the gated shifter in your Lamborghini or Ferarri"
Wow, a 3rd Snyder video recently 😁
Definitely the finest Snyder video on UA-cam! You should be very proud, Elliott.
Mitchell Barnow haha, thanks! Quite the elite list of Snyder UA-cam videos out there too 😂
Elliott Alvis I’m honored to be in your presence, Elliott Alvis!
This thing makes the Yugo look like the epitome of good build quality...!
Haha, right?
This is one of those cars I would commute in if everyone else also just drove these.
It’s certainly different!
Awesome as always
Thanks man!
you gotta launch it like the space shuttle...
The successor in spirit of the Reliant Robin.
I am a subscriber to WatchJrGo, and followed this on his channel, but I'm happy to see it again on your channel.
Will R Yeah we filmed with it at the same time actually. It was cool of him to let me do a video for my channel.
@@ElliottAlvis I've followed Jon Ross for several years and came to the conclusion a long time ago that he is a genuinely nice guy.
Will R he is a very nice dude.
I actually really want one
Kaiser Knapp I have a feeling this one will be for sale soon!
same
New to your channel. Pretty good so far. And it helps to have the awesome John Ross.
Daniel Zermeno Thanks for checking out the channel. JohnRoss is pretty cool isn’t he?
@@ElliottAlvis yes sir. Been watching him since his first appearance with Tyler. The Land Rover episode.
now google: "Daewoo Matiz" :)
dempsej wow, they look almost identical!
@@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.
dempsej wow! What a history lol
I need this because I can't wait till 2040 to import a fiat 500 twin air.
Reminds me of the Wildfire that Saabkyle reviewed some years ago. Almost the same design, but at least that thing was mid engined. ;)
Timico1000 I’m sure that thing was much better to drive lol
@@ElliottAlvis It had already been crashed when kyle drove it. :D
ua-cam.com/video/5WNbFEv0hRQ/v-deo.html
Edit: oh, quite different design, thought it was closer to the Snyder. Memories faded over the past 9 years. ;)
I have a zap xebra pk, 3 wheel electric truck, i think it has the same suspension , at least in the front, where can i find parts for this car if you have the same strut as mine in the front?
Ah,nice to find a follow-up video about the Snyder. Anyone know what happened to it?
i like it
What could you replace the KM dash with? Feels like that would be kinda annoying for long drives or if you don’t know your metrics
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.
LOL. It kinda reminds me of a quad bike, with the noise it makes. I would be so scare it would roll over!
Vance Warren the thing was dangerously underpowered and it was almost impossible to find gears. Still glad I got to drive it though. Lol
@@ElliottAlvis It would be an experience, that's for sure. I like how is officially classed as a motorbike.
Vance Warren and even that classification is generous lol
@@ElliottAlvis LOL. Was it a white knuckle ride? 😂
Vance Warren that’s one way of putting it!
A 3 wheel tire is most stable with the middle wheel in the back and 2 wheels in the front
where can i get one of these?
It looks like it's based on a Daewoo Matiz minus one wheel, and the engine transferred into the rear.
How do I find a chassis no on this car
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.
WOW, the Chinese have reinvented the Reliant Robin… Genius? Quick, get Jeremy Clarkson to do a review!
This car is for me. I don't have a car license only a motorcycle one.
Maybe you could import an old Reliant from Britain. 800cc four cylinder engine, much more car like but still technically a motorcycle.
@@rais1953 those things are so expensive lol. It would be cheaper for me to get my full license and buy a car. Which is the smartest thing to do but I'm lazy
I saw one for sale and i was like 🤔 I WANT IT!
After watching videos on this car im rethinking it
Im not in the mood to flip over and die...yet 👀
Should whisper john to get to doug demuro to review this car
it's a 3 wheel daewho matiz wish it was i think lol 😆 I would buy one for a laugh! it would be fun 😅
needs a engine swap with a Zero
At least you don't have to buy 4 tires every time at 25% discount
We need a dash for my husband’s.
What's the mpg? I'm a poor working man, and it's about what I need. Afghanistan combat veteran, not afraid of driving it. 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.
Wow y’all got it from the guy that posted this like 10 years ago. I wanted it... I live around a golf cart town. Every ones got stupid goofy modded carts. This would be the king of silly bullshit
Tyler Somebody oh this would be a gem in a golf cart town!
Elliott Alvis if you ever want to invest any for fun let me know. you can get alll types thru alibaba very fun to look at but not totally sure how to get one over here.(without breaking the bank) There are even 6 door van versions and Ute pickup trucks! As well as ev versions! I’d love to put training wheels on that thing!
There is only ONE rationalization for three wheeled cars: tax laws.
I have one of theses can’t find parts
I understand this thing is 9 years old? therefore what maintenance has it had and who by?, i bet it was a decent viable motor as a city car when new , but , the rear track is too narrow.
jezztech who knows who the maintenance was done by. I doubt any maintenance was done at all! Lol
@@ElliottAlvis fair does bud !
It's marketed as a car for old people and their grocery runs in china
Some cities had to ban these bc they were so unsafe 😂
Kevin Song lol what a terrible car for old people!
It’s got a gear change like stirring a bucket of bricks 😂 great video of a dreadful car haha
RichieT5 Thanks Richie! Yeah, it certainly was an interesting car to drive. I think I’ll be ok if I never drive another one! Lol.
Mine has outrigger wheels.....skinny tires...new bearings...cheap insurance....
Thr body it's copybof daewoo matiz
Korean car, designed by Italians
It originally had 800cc front mounted engine and 4 wheels
That's begging for an upgrade and oddly looks like a Daewoo matiz
Finnerton central model railway it’s a weird little car for sure!
Looks like Mr. Beans car 😂
It does!
I'd love to see this thing try to move with four adults inside.
How is it bad for social distancing?
For sho
Suppar❤️ India launch?
Mejor regalame ami ese carrito
Elliott: You should have spent the entire video screaming at JR for spending $1800 on this POS.
Tuk Tuk
Basically! 😂
Falta mantención un auto de mas de 10 años...
I want one with $5 gas
You would have been safer in a bumper car.. OH MY GOD...I have to process this a bit more ...! I don't think I would even feel safe, driving this rickshaw type creature in a10 mph gated community. Simply, sheer TERROR. On a happier note, I bet it really attracts the ladies!
Chocolate Doberman it wasn’t the safest thing I’ve ever driven. That’s for sure! And I’m not so sure about attracting the ladies, but it sure got attention!
@@ElliottAlvis Yeah, we were teasing you hahaha...I am sure it did attact...something LOL, happy it wasn't an ambulance...glad you survived !!
Hey cutie 😘
Jared Lumbert Agreed! 😂
Hey big boy 😘
@@mitchellbarnow1709 I second that!!
Elliott Alvis You’re awesome, Elliott and you have beautiful blue eyes 👀!
I third that!
Busa swap
you can tell it's chinese to the bone cause they didn't put the engine and the other stuff in the back to balance it out.
An improved version may be successful in Pakistan but not more than Pakistani one lack.
$20,00000
Looks like a bad drawing of a Daewoo Matiz
CarsofGlasgow haha, yeah it does 😂
@@ElliottAlvis hehe
#chinesium
Reed McGinn yes I believe that was the alloy they used for the body of this “thing” 😂
中國人太務實生活了將這項技術發展成玩樂跑車開篷前二後一就可瘋扉世界
The reason they took off a wheel and register as a motorcycle so that they don't have to comply with safety regulations which is nonexistent in this vehicle
