Hello!
Here is my entry to Rebrick Technic contest.
What happens if you combine these two great Porsche products:
Porsche ZERO
My model is probably the slowest of all entries as you have to use pedals to make it move! And is probably the only case, when the friend you are giving a lift could make you go faster - there are pedals for him as well With 2-gear gearbox (high/low) you have chance going up some hills too. And to make fast cornering possible front suspension geometry features positive caster and Ackermann steering. Handbrake will make sure your precious model is not going to ride without you.
Model features:
1. Two pairs of pedals for propulsion
2. 2-Speed gearbox (high/low gears)
3. Handbrake/driving mode
4. Steering wheel/HOG
5. Front suspension with positive caster and Ackermann geometry
6. Opening doors, hood and engine cover
7. Porsche body frame (to keep weight to minimum)
Model turned out to be quite large due to used tyres, but it is still under contest size limits.
Green lever switches between two gears. Yellow lever engages driving model as normally handbrake is ON. This is to reduce stress on parts due to model being displayed more than actually riding. Handbrake is made by pushing angled liftarm against small tyre. Making some space between them engages driving mode.
