UGEARS Bike DIY Kit – Wooden Mechanical Motorcycle Project – Bike VM-02 Rubber Band Engine – For Vehicle Passionate and Bikers – Plywood Model with Wide Back Wheel – Refined Gift Idea

It's frustrating and fiddly at times, so be prepared to have your nerves rattled a little!The components are accurately cut and well fitting - sometimes a little too well fitting, but nothing that a quick waft with the included sandpaper couldn't fix.The instructions are pretty good too, although one or two of the illustrations had me scratching my head for a couple of minutes until I figured it out.If you're patient and study the illustrations before assembling anything, the end result looks great!I wouldn't say that this is a model to have racing around your kitchen, but the mechanics side is very cool indeed.All-in-all this is a great model. I thoroughly enjoyed making it and lost quite a few hours engrossed in my endeavours. In fact I was so impressed with the quality, ingenuity and downright fun of it, I've just ordered the roadster!If you buy it, you'll enjoy it .... good luck!

The media could not be loaded. ***** Love it.I recently finish my second model from Ugears – and I am very excited about it. Very impressive and good looking motorcycle. Made of plywood, all parts are laser cut and assembled without glue using toothpicks and joints. Parts are simply squeezed out, but it is better to cut the gaps on which they keep from falling out of the board, with a knife or scalpel. For beginner model may seem difficult I think, but the result is impressive. This bike looks very cool, and rides itself from the wound rubber bands. I recommend to pay special attention to the assembly of the gas tank, it is quite difficult to assemble, also the front ‘suspension’, it fits tight to the frame. And most important, the small details of the gears under a black rubber band were another challenge, at least for me :) In general, an interesting and beautiful model, and most importantly not static, but mechanically working, even improvised pistons are moving in cylinders.Highly recommend, the product is worth all its money.

Absolutely love this purchase!!! Laser precision cut wood with great step by step instructions.Make sure you follow the instructions exactly and you can't go wrong. There is a step when putting in the elastic bands where I only put 2 bands instead of 3 but checking the instructions clearly shows 3.Great family fun but children will need the support/supervision of an adult.Highly recommend as it is the cheapest in the range and is still an amazing interactive sculpture. I have bought more models since.Took just over one evening to complete.

So where do I start. This is a fantastic model set which will not only provide great satisfaction once completed but also great frustration whilst building 😀. The model it self looks amazing but is really challenging at times. Now I have completed this one I have learnt my ways to make the build slightly easier for future models. The model is held together with toothpicks and interlocking each piece. The holes for the toothpicks are very tight and even with using the wax you feel that you could snap the toothpick if you push a little hard. Towards the end of the build I started sanding down the toothpicks slightly which helped. I have marked it down to a four start due to the frustration factor but it's great value for money and I highly recommend buying on.

I bought this as an 80th birthday present for a motorbike enthusiast, and I am delighted with the look of it and I’m sure it will give a lot of pleasure to the recipient … Many thanks

I brought it as a Christmas present for my Mum's boyfriend and he is looking forward to building this. I have done similar kits to this and enjoyed them. Although this potentially could be a bit hard to do if it's your first kit.

I have completed cheaper kits in the past and been frustrated by poorly cut parts that don't fit together properly. None of that here. The parts are cut very accurately and fit together very precisely. Because of that I found making this kit very satisfying.The finished item makes a nice display piece. I did make it up with the elastic bands to operate as a wind up model but I am not convinced that it works too well or that the system will last beyond a few uses, more down to my assembly skills as to anything to do with the design or components.Worth the price compared to cheaper kits from other manufacturers.

Easy to assemble but definitely not for beginners-removing the parts from the panel must be done carefully, brilliantly engineered and laser cut. Well thought out and a few spares of the easily broken parts included. Loved every minute of making this model. 100% recommended.
