Banbao LEGO: motorcycle


Completion date: April 14, 2020
My banbao LEGO is here! My first project is building motorcycle from manual.

My reflection on this build
- three gears linear cluster turns the gears in a way that the 1st and 3rd gears are in the same direction. 
- the 3-gear cluster’s function is to displace the turning motion to happen in another place. In this case, the back wheels can’t be directly connected to the motor, that’s why the 3-gear cluster would help. 
- there are two types of connectors that look similar but provide a bit different functions. They act as pivot. One is smooth-pivot, the other is a stuck-pivot (need more force to turn)

My first encounter with Banbao: really happy. 
- It is not as good as LEGO in the fitting
- It is really cheap, I imagine this would cost around HK$1000 with LEGO. Now around 1/3 of the price
- It seems there are more variety of parts than LEGO

- LEGO has actual size illustration on page for axles. Banbao could provide ruler sticker as a quick fix.
