The grille is nickel-plated and the wheels, 69 mm in diameter, are tin and equipped with rubber tires of the Michelin Superconfort brand (the rear tires are new). The front wheels are steerable thanks to a detent/ratchet system. Finally, it is equipped with a mechanical wind-up engine operated by a key.
