About us

UGEARS is the creator and manufacturer of unique self-propelled mechanical model kits designed for self-assembly without glue and made of sustainably sourced high-grade wooden material.

Some of our designs are inspired by real-life prototypes while others represent an original re-imagining of historical mechanisms with excellent levels of engineering and a quality production process. Each model kit has everything you will need for assembly. The quality of the parts is very high – a laser method is used for cutting items from a plywood board that provides precise hairline cuts. All steps of the assembly are described in detailed step-by-step illustrated color instructions in 11 languages (English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and Korean). Our models are the original all occasions gifts, fun and smart hobby for kids and grown-ups of all ages. All Ugears models are made of sustainably sourced wood and require neither glue nor special tools to be fully assembled into functional working models. Also, there is no need for batteries or any external power source as they are powered by rubber bands, gears, cranks and gravity. In addition, while looking for a way to make the assembly experience smooth and enjoyable for our customers, we invented and patented our very own plywood joint design. All UGEARS models are manufactured at our own production facilities. We guarantee high quality of our products, effective and helpful customer service and fast replacement of spare parts to complete your models worldwide.

UGEARS is a startup established in 2014 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Today UGEARS offers 47 unique mechanical models of intelligent design. And there are more than 200 ideas for future mechanisms that we plan to realize. Several new models are in development and will be presented by September 2019. The hobbyists are assembling UGEARS models in 80 countries across 5 continents, and we care deeply about the great support,
priceless feedback, and kind advice we have received from each of them.

In our age of electronics people still want to be creative with their hands and mind, seeking that rewarding feeling of constructing something with their own hands, inviting their kids and grandkids into the awesome (and, admittedly, old-school but yet-so-cool!) world of mechanics. UGEARS’ mission is to give an unforgettable time of working together on things that are popular for all ages. We want family members and friends have fun bonding while creating. And as a result — to get revived mechanical marvels.

Join us in bringing these unforgettable moments to DIYers of all ages!

Truly yours,

UGEARS Team
