The Hape Crank Train is a sustainable toy that will never run out of power. When the train starts to slow down and needs recharging, simply use the hand-crank to restart it. No batteries are required; it harnesses kinetic energy instead.
The train engine is operated by buttons – choose to go forward, backward, or stop. This clever engine stores enough energy to race along the tracks and is equipped with a battery level indicator, allowing you to check when it needs recharging at any time.
Our products: Hape toys are designed to inspire children's potential at various stages of development and help cultivate and develop their natural abilities. All Hape products sold in North America meet or exceed all applicable safety standards.
Product Features
Hand-crank train engine: built-in battery charged by kinetic energy – rotate the crank at a constant speed as much as possible. Repeat this motion at a rate of two turns per second, and after 10 seconds, the engine can travel one meter on a flat surface. To extend battery life, please recharge at least once a month (with at least one minute of cranking each time).
Button control: use the button on top to drive the engine forward and turn on the lights. Rotate the crank on top of this clever, compact engine to generate and store enough power to drive the engine along the tracks. Use the button on top to choose forward, backward, or stop.
Compatible with our railway sets: suitable for independent play or compatible with most wooden railway sets.
Safe play: made with non-toxic finishes and child-safe materials. All Hape toys meet high safety standards, ensuring that all children can play safely for years. We recommend this toy for children aged 3 and above.
