What makes a slingshot?

These sleek three-wheeled vehicles feature a unique design with two wheels in the front and one wheel at the rear, offering an open-air driving experience reminiscent of a motorcycle. The slingshot boasts impressive performance and agility, with powerful engines, lightweight construction, and aerodynamic design. While lacking an enclosed cabin, it incorporates safety features like seat belts and roll bars. Its distinct configuration and thrilling driving dynamics make it an exhilarating choice for those seeking a unique and fun automotive experience.

Blue Ridge Slingshot Rentals is proud to carry the exclusive R Series model slingshot, boasting all the bells and whistles.

About Us

We are a local, family owned and operated business. My husband is a retired veteran, and I grew up right here in the mountains. While we moved around a bit, we knew that raising our family here was the best decision.

We rented a slingshot in the fall of 2021 and fell in love with the thrill of the ride combined with the breathtaking colors. This was a ride we had taken on several occasions, but nothing compared to the panoramic views, thrilling ride and excitement that the self-tour in a slingshot offers! It has been our dream to share this joy with others and we finally decided it was time to sell our investment property and take the leap into a fun and exciting new venture.

  1. My sister and I went up to Looking glass falls and had the best time. What a beautiful ride. The owners are so nice. Looking forward to going again to see the leaves change.

  2. What an amazing day we had driving the Orange slingshot up to Looking Glass Falls. The views were incredible. It was like experiencing the ride on a motorcycle with the open air. I would definitely recommend renting the slingshot and just enjoying the ride with the beautiful views. You won’t regret it! The owners were super nice and easy to deal with. Highly recommended, it’s a blast!

Regarding Hurricane Helene

First and foremost, our hearts and prayers are with WNC and surrounding areas, as well as Florida. Hurricane Helene was devastating to so many and the effects are felt by us all. This is our home and we are so proud to be a part of Appalachia, where people have really shown up for each other. Our prayers have been, and will continue to be, with everyone.

We wanted to extend our gratitude to the people who have reached out to check on us. We have met some amazing people doing this and have been so touched by the calls, texts and emails concerning our well being.

Though the parkway is closed in NC for an undetermined amount of time, our location was fortunately undamaged and we are still in business. We have a lot of appointment openings do to mass cancellations for October and Early November (the remainder of our short season). We welcome visitors to take the scenic drives that still remain in our beautiful mountains and ask that you refrain from the areas that are still trying to recover. Waynesville and Maggie Valley are open. The drive toward Bryson City is beautiful and access to those waterfalls is still within reach. Fall foliage can still be admired.

If you are local, come take a drive. Give your mind a break, a small respite, from the heaviness we have endured. Our small business and all of the small businesses count heavily on your support.

 

Sincerely,

Gabby
