The ideal way to begin to learn about renewable energy, this solar car kit is both informative & lots of fun. Build the car, attach the solar panel, & watch it go for a run in the sun. As well as the knowledge the person building it will gain, they will also have the satisfaction of constructing something from scratch, including assembling the motor & chassis, affixing the wheels, making up the gearbox, & attaching the solar panel. But if the sun is reluctant to come out then thats no problem, because the car can also run on battery power, simply flip a switch on the cars chassis & the battery will take up the strain. The car is 21cm long & 8cm wide, has an impressive top speed of over 3 meters a second & can go up hills of 30 degrees or less. It is also remarkably easy to assemble & operate. >> Solar powered car which actually moves >> Build-it-yourself model >> dual action solar & battery powered >> Sleek aerodynamic design >> Length: 21cm.
Width: 8cm >> When not running on solar power requires 1 AA battery (not included) >> Top speed of over 3 meters a second >> Easy to assemble >> Can ascend slopes of up to 30 degrees
