• We hope you’ve missed unusual and peculiar mechanical models, because here comes the Monowheel rolling in to join your Ugears collection
• Transmission employed in all the prototypes starting in the 1860s: a moving outer element with a stationary mechanism inside
• Our peaceful minds striving for creation and curiosity took the best of those two prototypes and today we proudly present the all-wooden mechanical Monowheel!
• Despite its airy delicate appearance, your new model is quite sturdy – you can take it outside and give it a good roll around on the pavement and other hard and semi-hard surfaces
• Two working modes guarantee even more fun, Mode one with the feet locked will give you uninterrupted rolling straight ahead for about 1.5 – 2 meters (5.7-7.6 ft) until the rubber-band motor’s resource is completely released
• The second mode with the feet in the unlocked position your Monowheel will roll ahead while the rubber-band motor is working. After that it turns around, its feet hide inside and the model keeps rolling until it runs into an obstacle. In this mode, the model can cover up to 5 meters
• The single wheel is built in skeleton steampunk style, which means you can see and enjoy the beauty of moving gears
• Embodying a skeletal style all around, the Monowheel looks sleek yet super sturdy as it is able to rumble through most terrains.
• A unique method of transportation, this hand-cranked Monowheel puts the fun back into wheels!
• UGears has remade this model in a skeletal version, without the armor-like outer shell, so there is easy access to the rubber bands should they be replaced
• Based on early designs that were either unmanned or that accommodated single driver-passengers, this all-wood model reflects the intricate working designs of the originals
• The exposed interior lets you easily control the rubber band motor and replace the bands and other parts as needed
