It can be ridden and maneuvered and it consists of one seat. The Real-Life Gundam Robot is 3.4 meters high and weighs 1 tonne and can walk backward and forward or sideways at a 1.5 km per hour by operating 4 pedals.

It was developed by Maasaki Nagumo of Sakakibara Kikai Co. based in the village of Shinto in Gunma Prefecture.
