Interactive STEM Build: Tamiya 70095 Mini Bike Kit

The Tamiya 70095 Mini Bike Kit provides a practical, hands-on way to study fundamental mechanics and introductory electronics. The finished model is a working mini motorcycle that demonstrates how rotational power moves through a simple drive system.

Design Notes and Mechanical Setup

The kit contains pre-cut wooden pieces for the frame, fuel tank and fender with pre-drilled screw holes to speed up assembly. A rubber band connects the supplied Type 130 motor to the rear wheel pulley, offering a clear example of power transfer and drivetrain behaviour.

Ease of Assembly and Performance

With snap-on motor mounts and easy wiring, the build is approachable for newcomers and younger builders with supervision. Wide synthetic rubber tyres give predictable handling on smooth surfaces so the model runs reliably after assembly.

Specifications

  • Length: 153mm
  • Width: 48mm
  • Height: 100mm
  • Type 130 Motor Included
  • Requires 1 R6/AA/UM3 Alkaline Battery (not included)

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies with experience but expect a few hours for a focused build session, longer if used as a group or classroom activity.

Can I change the motor for more speed?

The kit includes a Type 130 motor sized for the design. Swapping to a different motor is possible but check mounting, voltage and gearing to avoid damage.

What maintenance does the model need?

Keep moving parts clean and check the rubber band for wear. Tighten screws as needed and replace the battery when output drops.

Are the wooden parts paintable?

Yes, the wooden components can be painted or decorated, but use light coats and allow drying time to avoid affecting fit and function.
