Ugears | Automaton Cyclist

Ugears | Automaton Cyclist is inspired by classis Tour De France chronicles, The Cyclist embodies the spirit of competition, the great sport and even a greater victory. The signature Ugears design make this outstanding model a fun build and an original décor element in any home or office.

The main feature of this model is of course, the mechanism. Ugears is known for their original approach to wooden mechanical models and this time their design wizards used a simple flywheel to create their magic. Start it by pulling the lever on the side of the model and watch the cyclist launch into a race. The flywheel, the main propelling element of the model, accumulates kinetic energy due to its weight. The model is a perfect presentation of how changing weight changes the work of a flywheel mechanism. The model has a special slot where you can put a coin or a screw nut – anything that fits – to increase the weight and change the momentum of the mechanism.
