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. Take your friends and family on a nostalgic ride and enjoy the fun with the Ugears Roadster VM-01!

    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.

    Great quality model, cleverly designed. Completed today and it's fully functional (propels itself with forward and reverse gears, and pistons, prop shaft and steering rack all operate). Super impressive.

    It was a present, and I enjoyed building it. My mates were a bit jealous of it too! Can fully recommend - only thing I would say is that the components fit together quite tightly, and take a bit of force to press together.

    Just choosing my next model . . . . :))

    Leider eine Enttäuschung... sieht zwar wirklich gut aus. Aber einige Teile sind z viel zu filigran, zerbrechen sehr schnell beim Zusammenbau. Extrem fummelig und häufig musste ich improvisieren, weil die Anleitung an einigen Stellen nicht hilfreich war. Ausserdem funktioniert der Antriebmechanismus nicht wirklich, weil die Passgenauigkeit nicht hoch genug und die komplexe Zahnradkonstruktion viel zu schwergängig ist. Da besteht eindeutig Verbesserungsbedarf.

    First and foremost, I would like to thank you for your outstanding service, in the process of building the Roadster VM-01, I broke a certain part, I contacted you by email, you sent me the part which unfortunately got lost on the way, I contacted you once more, and you sent me the part again (today it is arrived ..
    Building the model was a very enjoyable process, the quality of the material and the explanatory booklet are amazingly accurate, I have already purchased several models from you (some of them have not yet been assembled) I will continue to purchase and certainly highly recommend
    Thanks again !!!

    Es el tercer coche que ensamblo. Me parece una obra de arte. Esteticamente creo que lo he hecho bien en los tres casos, pero lamentablemente la movilidad es nula. He tratado de seguir las instrucciones con cuidado, pero obviamente no lo he logrado. Para mi la dificultad ha sido alta. Comprare otros donde la movilidad no sea importante.

    This model has perfect quality and i was happy to assemble it. However some mechanically loaded parts are not strong enough. Axles, gears and levers better to do with steel or somehow improve wood. Will be great if Ugears team can improve it. Thank you for the great work!
