How can we derive more pleasure from driving? Generally, driving pleasure is a complex concept in engineering. As designers, when considering how to design a vehicle to enhance driving pleasure, it largely relies on our personal experiences, such as the sensation of acceleration or the feeling of centrifugal force when cornering.

"Swing Dancer" is a vehicle that enables the driver to sway while in motion. It combines swinging and the vehicle. By integrating swinging vehicular mechanics, this innovation harnesses centrifugal force to offer drivers a unique sense of liberation and exhilaration. Swinging emerges as a straightforward yet potent method to deliver an authentic and invigorating experience of centrifugal force. With each turn of the wheel, the body synchronizes its movements with the vehicle’s, resulting in a rush of enjoyment.
