Note: It can only be remotely controlled forward and backward, but not for direction.

ZENE Bricks Power Kit for LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit #21371 - Simple but Fun

Wallace and Gromit’s motorcycle was never going to sit quietly for long. In *A Close Shave*, what starts as a window-cleaning job soon turns into the sort of adventure where having a motorbike and sidecar ready to go seems like a very good idea.

If you’ve built LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit #21371, you already know how much personality the red bike has on display. This ZENE Bricks power kit gives it one more trick: use the remote to drive it **forward or backward**. Set it on a smooth surface, press the button, and the wheels take the pair along for a short run. It’s a small change to the way you enjoy the model, but a fun one to show someone who has only seen it sitting on a shelf.

Two versions difference: one with a ladder matching the movie scene, and one without a ladder.

• Step-by-step installation instruction.
• The motor packaged in bricks and the color match, so it won’t become unsightly with an extra part.
• Specially customized motor.
  
• Remote controller.
• Compatible modification accessories.
• Exquisite packaging.

Type: Compatible with LEGO® sets
Material: Eco-friendly ABS plastic and metal.

Motor upgrade kit only. LEGO set is not included.

The drive gear sits close to the wheel, while the battery box fits into the sidecar area. From the usual display angle, the familiar red bodywork remains the focus. You can still appreciate the shape of the motorcycle, the sidecar and the little details that made you want to build the set in the first place. The conversion adds motion without turning the finished model into an exposed electronics project.

There’s a satisfying hands-on part to the upgrade, too. You get to work inside a model you thought you’d finished, then watch a hidden mechanism do its job. That feels rather at home in Wallace’s garage.

With the Ladder, or Without?

Choose the version that suits your build. The **with-ladder version** brings back a detail tied to the duo’s window-cleaning work: the ladder carried alongside Gromit’s sidecar. It gives the bike that ready-for-the-next-job look. The **without-ladder version** keeps the sidecar’s cleaner outline and lets the red motorcycle speak for itself.

Both versions have the same purpose: to bring controlled movement to the motorcycle while keeping its recognizable appearance. Pick the scene you prefer, whether that’s a trip out to clean windows or the moment just before things get a bit more complicated.

A Clear Note on Control

The remote powers **forward and reverse movement only**. It does **not** steer left or right, so the bike travels in the direction its front wheel is positioned. It’s best enjoyed as a moving display model, with room for a straight run, rather than as a fully steerable RC vehicle.

That straightforward bit of motion is enough to bring a smile, though. Give the bike a little space, send Wallace and Gromit on their way, and it’s easy to imagine another perfectly ordinary day getting wonderfully out of hand.
