Inspired by the memorable and historic chronicles of the Tour de France, the Cyclist represents the competitive spirit and extreme effort of this great sport. Ugears' distinctive design sets this exceptional wooden puzzle apart - it's a fun DIY project, an original decor element for the home or office, and a great gift idea for cyclists.
We have no doubt that you will like the look of this champion robot, but its main distinctive feature is, unsurprisingly, the mechanism used. Ugears is known for the original approach it takes to its mechanical models and this time the design engineers have used a simple flywheel to create the magic: pull the lever on the side of the model to start the mechanism and watch as the cyclist launches himself into the race.
It is this flywheel that is the main driving element of this mechanical puzzle, storing kinetic energy according to its weight. This Ugears model is the perfect representation of how changing the weight changes the way a flywheel mechanism works. The model has a special slot to insert a coin, a nut or anything else that will fit in to increase its weight and thus change the momentum of the mechanism.
Like all Ugears models, this 3D puzzle is made of wooden materials and comes with everything you need to assemble it. By following the detailed step-by-step instructions in the multilingual manual, you'll reach the finish line without even batting an eyelid.
