Maker Studio HATCHedu ThinkFun "Sidecar Motorcycle"
Create your own Sidecar Motorcycle from the MakerStudio Gears Set!
Gather the Materials
You will need:
MakerStudio Gears Set
Pen and Marker
Scissors
Razor Blade
16oz Aluminum Can
Cardboard
Paper
Spray Paint
Design the Motorcycle
Using the motorcycle template, trace onto cardboard and cut with a razor. Use spray paint to give it your personal style. You can use paper and a razor blade to create a stencil for painting (Ask a parent to help you with the razor blade).
Build the Motorcycle
Assemble your motorcycle according to the Maker Studio directions. Use the 5.5" rods instead of the 1.5" rods, and place additional wheels on the rear axle (see image).
Build the Sidecar
Using a 16oz aluminum can, make holes for the axle and cut an opening for the passenger compartment. Once you've finished cutting the can, customize with paint. (Ask a parent to help you with the razor blade)
Final Assembly
Place the sidecar onto the axles and add your passengers. You're ready to ride!
