Features
This assembly kit creates the Rubber Band Powered Trike which is propelled by a rubber band. Push in the push rod to tauten rubber band and release it to propel the trike forward by power supplied via the one-way clutch. Change front wheel directions to make the model turn right and left, and move shift lever to choose from two types of gears - "power" for a faster run and "stamina" for a longer run.
- Push in the push rod to tauten rubber band and release it to propel the trike forward by power supplied via the one-way clutch. (Push rod has markings to show how much you are pushing in it.)
- Change front wheel directions to make the model turn right and left.
- Move shift lever to choose from two types of gears - power type for a faster run (gear ratio 9:1) or stamina type for a longer run (gear ratio 27:1).
- Gear Ratio 9:1 (Running Distance = 3 meters) (Traction in grams = 190)
- Gear Ratio 27:1 (Running Distance = 6 meters) (Traction in grams = 45)
- Change the number of rubber bands used (between 1 or 3 is recommended), to adjust power.
- This kit contains five No.14 rubber bands, but general use No.16 bands are also compatible.
- Includes all components needed for easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly. (Tools are separately required.)
This image shows how the rubber band(s) power the model.
The one-way clutch transmits power from the shrinking rubber band to the wheels.

Switch between "power" (1) and "stamina" (2) setups as you desire.
