Absolure brilliant, just height to ay with. Cannot fall off at that price. What cost to buy parts on own. Super bargain. Well done Amazom 100/10 forgot this. Also almost converted to mains power, be adding a s.all led for the inside Review: Works well - This is a fun kit to make an electric cable car. My 6 and 4 year old made it with their dad. It really works, it has been up in our lounge for 6 months now and occasionally gets turned on and played with. It goes backwards and forwards without stopping so it's a bit repetitive. You need a can, and my only negative would be that you can't transport toys etc. because it's just a drinks can. We could fashion a clean, safe can with windows cut out but that just feels a bit too much effort! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Warning:Only for domestic use - Warning:Toy inside.

Unfortunately I can't help as this was given as a present, though I don't actually remember seeing anything before I wrapped it that indicated it wasn't in English. Sorry not to be more help. **Q: how long do the batteries last?** A: You have to supply the batteries and we found that the batteries did not last long. This was for a 7 yr old who was fascinated by putting it together (we helped) and playing. Though the battery life was short, the enjoyment of the toy outweighed the disappointment. **Q: Does it have a motor? And if it does how powerful is it?** A: Powerful enough to drive an empty drinks can - presumably painted by you to look like a cable car compartment - to the end and back automatically until you or the child get sick of it. **Q: Same questions - is this in Japanese? Or English?** A: Unsure. Instructions were in English but we no longer have the box to check whether Japanese or English. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just wow *by B***N on 2 June 2022* Needed a birdhouse to top off the stump, why not make it a gnomey one. 2 stumps each side, made own car,.
