Ugears Harry Potter Knight Bus

The Knight Bus TM from the Harry Potter series is here to save young wizards and surprise all Potterheads and Ugears fans around the world. This DIY wooden mechanical model bus is an exciting addition to the Ugears Harry Potter collection and indeed a very clever piece of engineering. To create this triple-ended bus, with its unique features from the wizarding universe, our Ugears designers and engineers set themselves an ambitious goal: to create a bus that can shrink, expand, and change speed, just like in the movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

The speedy Knight Bus TM can roar through the streets of Muggle London (or your living room) thanks to its powerful spring-driven motor that is wound up with a secret key stored on top of the bus. Pull up the magic manipulator button, also on the roof of the bus, to lock the drive gears and prevent the bus from driving away before all the wizards and witches are on board. If the canister is stationary, you can now remove the secret winding key, insert it into the ratchet mechanism on the side of the canister and give it a few turns.

To set the bus in motion, press the magic manipulator button while holding the bus and then release it! The standout feature of this DIY wooden model is its ability to transform by reducing or expanding its width with a turn of the magic manipulator. Turn the knob on top of the bus counterclockwise then the bus narrows to squeeze between traffic. Turn the knob clockwise to expand the bus to its full size. But here’s the amazing thing: as the width of the bus changes, so does the speed! In its normal (uncompressed) state, the bus travels amazingly fast. Compress the bus and an internal mechanism makes the bus travel in slow motion.
