UGears Moto Compact Folding Scooter Mechanical Model Kit Tan 192 pc

The Moto Compact folding scooter from UGears is a clever, spring driven addition to our family of two wheeled DIY wooden models. For many youths, a motor scooter is their first form of motorized transport. It represents freedom, mobility, a fun way to get to school, activities, a first job. It's a ticket to explore the world beyond the neighbor hood where you grew up. Capture that feeling of youthful freedom when you build this smart little folding scooter. Motorized scooters took off in popularity when Audrey Hepburn took a ride through Rome on Gregory Peck's iconic Vespa ("wasp" in Italian) scooter in the 1952 film "Roman Holiday." Though mostly a novelty in car crazy North America, motor scooters remain an important form of transport in many parts of the world, especially Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The Moto Compact folding scooter 3D puzzle packs quite a bit of power for its size. The wooden model scooter is driven by a spring loaded engine and can travel 2 m (six feet) on a single wind up. The handlebars can be placed in one of three positions to send your Moto on a straight course or curving to the left or right. Because this is a UGears model, and because we delight in packing as much mechanical action as we can into our wooden DIY models, the Moto Compact comes loaded with great features, including front and rear suspension, and sophisticated folding capability for safe and easy transport.
