Carousel
Round and round and back to where it's all begun… Take a trip to your childhood memories with Ugears beautiful nostalgic model, the Carousel. This outstanding model is a Ugears look at the classic merry-go-round implemented in top-quality wood, the familiar and beloved fairground ride is presented with highly detailed design. Here you will find two types of carousel horses that rock up and down as the model spins. The core of the model is a center pole that rotates in a direction opposite to the main platform making it look as if the carousel spins faster than it really does and creates the fascinating dynamics of the whole construction. The pole rises over the roof making it visually more delicate and at the same time giving it more volume. Add little birds soaring over the roof of the carousel along with decorative flying lanterns and you may just sense the aroma of hot dogs and cotton candy!
As for the technical aspects, the Ugears Carousel is based on the same principle as most Ugears self-propelled models: all parts of the puzzle are joined without glue or additional tools and the motion energy is provided by a rubber band motor. The Carousel has a wind-up key under its base that provides tension to the rubber bands attached to the main axle. The pendulum gears down the axle and makes the movement of the modules and details smoother. The main axle is connected to the central pole via the planetary gear that ensures that it rotates in the direction opposite to the main platform. The roof is also attached to the main axle and crankshafts that make the horses go up and down while spinning around the central pole.

Great
This was my first set. I have owned it for a few years before finally getting to put it together. I only broke 1 piece but luckily there was an extra. I was able to put most of it together without an external tool however the tiny decoration along the top I did need something to help push them together. I absolutely love it and can't wait to bring it to work.
This was my first set and it was amazing! When I broke some pieces and didn't have extras they sent me what I needed for free. This is an amazing company with amazing projects! I cannot wait to buy more.
Bought this for my little niece and we had so much fun building it. She wanted to paint each piece individually which made it even more fun. I would highly recommend this as a gift or a special treat for yourself. It is so mesmerising when completed!
Realmente fascinante y divertido tanto el montaje como su funcionamiento.
Amazing! Works perfectly and relatively easy to build
Just finished, it’s my second model and thoroughly enjoyed it. So pleased to see the extra pieces when I snapped one....a lot of thought have gone into making these models and the finished product shows this. Thank you.
This was my first UGEAR to build and it was so much fun and turned out great! The string length in my instruction book was too long but with a few adjustments to scale to the associated pictures it works magnificently! I’m actually looking for a newer and more difficult one to do now. What a fun project! Any advice on a new UGEARS to tackle?
I have made a lot of UGEARS models. Not only is this one elegant to watch, the clockwork is mesmerizing. It was really fun to build, too!
As a new product, I watched the video of the merry go round. I asked how long the model design took to complete. I exclaimed that it was a smart design. It could make the merry go round and fly without electricity. I found it was really fun and it was worth a gift to the little girl
