The Ducati iRider from Nikko represents the very latest innovation in micro controlled vehicles.

Measuring a tiny 80x40x70mm, the iRacer Ducati is an impressive sight to see in action because the rider features an articulated body.

Just like the real bike racers, the riders lean inside to take the tight turns around the track!

Features:

• The pistol grip style controller (transmitter) has a built in battery recharger with a speedy 2 mins charge time delivering a mighty 7 minutes of play. Simply attach the iRider to the controller for quick recharging and lasting power (the iRider is equipped with a high power nickel metal hydride battery.

• The controller has a steering wheel which can be tilted to the left or right to enable easy operation with either hand. The iRider has 2 forward running speeds and left/right turns.

• The rider shifts its weight to enable left/right cornering- the iRider's cornering action is the same in principle as real motorcycle action.

• This palm-sized iRider is ultra-high functioning and resembles the features and movements of a real motorcycle to the smallest details.

• The iRider operates on the 27Mhz waveband. Requires only 4x AA batteries (not included).

3 modes of operation:

The iRider comes with a set of detachable supporting wheels- just like when you were a kid learning to ride a bike! Thanks to the supporting wheels, the iRider is kept from making a sharp bank angle when cornering, so that even beginners will be able to operate the iRider.

• Beginner mode: users who have not yet acquired the operation techniques, should attach the supporting wheels. The supporting wheels will make it easier to operate with less risk of tilting over. However, when operated at high speed, the motorcycle will lean and the supporting wheels will touch the ground.

• Normal mode: if you just want to play leisurely the attach the supporting wheels for easy steering.

• Expert mode: This mode is for those who want to experience the real thrill of maneuvering the iRider. Detach the supporting wheels- this will enable the iRider to bank at a steep angle when cornering. The iRider can be made to bank to the left and right alternately for driving on consecutive S- curves, but this requires highly skillful operation techniques.

The iRider is great fun for RC beginners as well as pros- looks great on the track as well as off. Sure to become a real collectors model too.
