We hope you missed the unusual mechanical outlooks, because Ugears will have something to surprise even sophisticated mechanical lovers. Our novelty - the original Monocoleso - will take a worthy place in your Ugears model collection.


Leafing through old photo albums (on the Internet), we came across an image of a bizarre vehicle invented by our guesses at the beginning of the 20th century. The photo that interested us depicted a wheel inside which the passenger driver was sitting. At the same time, the owner of this bizarre device looked so satisfied and happy that we ourselves wanted to develop a similar model for our collection. Having delved into the study of the subject, we found other models of monowheels - this time they were military vehicles shackled in armor.


But the real inspiration for us was the unifying element of all the prototypes we found. Since the 1860s, mono wheels have the same transmission principle that we embodied in our model: movement is carried out due to the external element, the wheel, while the working unit generating energy is inside, remaining stationary relative to the rotation of the wheel


We took the best of these two prototypes, and today we introduce the wooden mechanical Monocoleso Ugears!


Our Monocoleso is an example of a stimpank style, the scleleton-case of which opens its internal device. This design allows you to observe the movement of parts during the operation of the mechanism. One of the central mechanisms of the wheel is a unit simulating a steam engine. The absence of an external housing allows access to rubbers, which, if necessary, can be replaced without disassembling the model.


Despite the elegant appearance, the new model has a fairly solid safety margin. Take it for a walk and ride on asphalt and other hard and not very surfaces.


Multiply pleasure by two: because your new model has two modes of operation. In the first mode, with fixed legs, the model rolls forward until the rubber motor spins. Having traveled 1.5-2 meters, she beautifully turns over and stops.


In the second mode, the legs of the model are not fixed. As in the first case, Monocoleso rolls in a straight line while the rubber motor resource is being generated. Then the model turns over, the legs hide, and the wheel continues to move until it stumbles upon an obstacle. In this mode, the model passes up to 5 meters. This prompted us to use Monocoleso to play mechanical bowling, using it as a ball. We highly recommend this game to all our friends!


The mono wheel consists of 300 parts, including 19 spare parts. Its dimensions are 180x155x85 mm. Like all other Ugears models, Monocoleso is made of high-quality plywood, tested by European laboratories, which is also used in the production of European children's furniture. The model is fully equipped with everything necessary for assembly. The quality of the parts is very high - the laser method is used to cut the elements from the plywood board. The incisions are made by a CNC laser machine, the lines are approximately from human hair. Inside the package you will find plywood boards, from which you only need to squeeze out the finished parts and transform them into a self-propelled mono-wheel. You will not need glue or special tools to assemble. The model is assembled on a step-by-step illustrated instruction with explanations in 11 languages ​ ​ (Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and Korean).
