Roadster VM-01
Ugears introduces an exquisitely elegant and impressively fast Roadster VM-01 sports car. The unique charisma of the model comes from both its outstanding technical characteristics and detailed, realistic retro design. The clever combination of plywood elements of different thicknesses—4 and 2 mm—ensures the motorcar’s body looks streamlined and refined. Open the hood to see the powerful V8 engine and watch the moving valves.
Your sports car offers three driving modes: Forward, Reverse, and Idle. The direction can be adjusted using the functional steering wheel. Front-wheel suspension enhances the model’s realism. Powered by a rubber band motor, the car covers up to four meters on a single winding. The winding key is styled as a spare wheel at the rear. This wooden sports car has plenty to ignite your imagination—we invite you to discover its features yourself.

Warning! Small parts.
Too many toothpicks; Too many rubber bands. All my ugears puzzles except this one didn't rely on rubber bands and toothpicks. Too much. I had trouble with engine/instructions and removing parts. Not typical Ugears puzzle that I really like. Disappointment. Does not work. But looks really nice on a shelf
It is very difficult, nu very fun!!
It's just as advertised and the recipient is very happy.
De 10 impresionante.
Mooi
Great!
This is a wonderful model. I'm two-thirds of the way in and broke the rear axle. Now I'm waiting to see if the vaunted replacement service is as good as they say.
I enjoyed building this kit, quite a few pieces well planned out. Take your time and follow the instructions and don't miss a step. U-Gears has always brought out good products. Congrats.
I am continually impressed with your models. I had great fun in putting this model together. I had many challenges. First the spring mechanism was very difficult. The instructions did not provide a detailed picture on how it should be completed. However after a few attempts, i finally got a design that would work. Also U Gears did respond to my question about this. It looks fantastic it runs even better. Please keep up the good work. I think will try the Mars Rover for my next one. These models are fantastic
Absolutely perfect!!! Great fun to build. I love the details. The cars runs perfectly and watching the working pistons is so cool. I now have serval of my friends and work colleagues buying Ugears models. Please keep up the great work.

This was my first ugears model: in fact, my first wooden scale model period. It took me about 3 months to complete as I opted to finish all the parts. I thoroughly enjoyed my time.
I would rate the quality of materials at 5/5, and the design at 4/5. Thus, I wish I could give the product a 4.5 rating. For my personal preference, I would rather have skipped the whole winding mechanism and gone for more esthetic details instead. In the end my car does run, but I think it's more a display piece than a toy.
Model reviewed: VM-01 manufactured 2025-01-25.
Extras as shown in pictures: stains, paints, varnish, Kristal Klear glue (headlights and dashboard dials), chrome marker, HVAC tape (engine cover stripe), mirror vinyl (side mirrors).
Ça aura été mon premier modèle ugears : voir, mon premier modèle en bois. Il m’aura fallu 3 mois pour le compléter, comme j’ai choisi de donner une finition à tous les morceaux. J’ai passé bien du bon temps.
J’évaluerais la qualité des matériaux à 5/5, et le design à 4/5. Ainsi, j’aimerais pouvoir accorder au produit un note de 4.5. À mon goût à moi, j’aurais laissé tomber le mécanisme de propulsion en échange de détails esthétiques supplémentaires. En fin de compte, ma voiture fonctionne, mais c’est davantage une décoration qu’un jouet.

Extras tels que dans les photos : teintures, peintures, vernis, colle Kristal Klear (phares et cadrans du tableau de bord), marqueur chrome, ruban de conduit d’aération (bande centrale du capot), vinyle à effet miroir (rétroviseurs).
Muy chulo y montaje difícil con lo que me ha gustado mucho
Piezas muy frágiles y se rompen con facilidf
Eigentlich ein schönes Modell, aber ich habe eines erhalten bei dem die Holzqualität schlecht ist. War nicht möglich das Modell vernünftig zu bauen. Schade
