HORSE-MECHANOID

Before the industrial era of large steam engines, distance travel was possible only thanks to the speed and robustness of horsepower. Ugears–Models offers you a high–tech distraction and a return to the love of horseback riding with the “Mechanoid Horse“ model, which unites nature and mechanics. Replicating motion over four limbs was one of the most difficult tasks when creating an equine mechanoid. Mechanical models designed by many engineers often have more limbs or an extra limb was put in place to provide a minimum of stability.

Ugears engineers have managed to avoid this problem. The unique mechanism of the model specially developed by Ugears–Models allows your mount to be truly a quadruped.

The designers paid special attention to the anatomical details of the structure of the horse‘s limbs, replicating all the joints and animating them with a clamshell mechanism. Your horse‘s bionic heart is a pendulum mounted in the chest of a mechanoid. The oscillations of the pendulum slow down the transmission of energy from the rubber band motor to the moving parts, extending the operating time of the mechanism. The Mechanoid Horse will not traverse large green expanses – the distance it can travel in a single turn is quite limited. Moreover, the interest is to observe the work of the unique mechanism and to enjoy the beauty of the model‘s mechanics. The horse‘s mane and tail, intended to float in the wind, are made of elastics. As it moves, the mechanoid shakes its head while swinging its mane.

The Mechanoid Horse is a tribute to the first automatons, to the attempts to create a machine like the ancient Greeks, the inventors of Japan and China or even Leonardo da Vinci himself. Take your time and don‘t succumb to the characteristic rhythm of modern times. Take a break from the race for a while for a special moment of relaxation – but no less exciting! – Take a ride with Ugears‘ Mechanoid Horse!

The Mechanoid Horse kit is made of high–quality, sustainably sourced wood and has everything you could need for assembly. The quality of the parts is excellent: a laser method is used to cut the pieces from a plywood board that provides precise cuts. The pieces must be removed from the boards and assembled to create the complete model. Like all other Ugears models, the Mechanoid Horse comes with step–by–step, full–colored, really easy–to–follow instructions (in 11 languages: Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Chinese, and Korean) and requires no glue or special tools to be fully assembled.
