Gemir came up with the idea to make his daughter a speeder bike when her first birthday came around, wanting to handcraft something for her as he had for his son in the past. He designed the ambitious and complicated project entirely himself, using the original concept drawing from the movie as inspiration and guidance.
Breaking the rocker down into three main parts, he made sure not to outfit the structure with any small or breakable parts, while also beefing up the durability — in case his five year-old son wanted a turn at riding the Speeder Bike. The materials needed range from basic: sustainable plywood, PVC, nuts and bolts, to modern technology: 3D printing for curved and detailed parts.
