(More customer reviews)I recently started to look into some powered riding toys for my kids.I looked at several units before I finally gave them a try.The first one I bought was a star wars atv purchased from Wal-Mart.The box cover didn't mention specifically, but the vehicle was directed power to only one rear drive.On our hard wood floors it would just spin in place.This toy was in the $100 price range.
So I decided to ramp up the budget.
The second unit was a chevy silverado unit that looked very nice on Costco's website.It also seemed to be powered by only one wheel, even though the manual said otherwise.The toy truck's electrical horn didn't work, so I may have just got a bad unit.This electric toy was just under $200.It was very nice looking and had the right dimensions for my daughter, so I was greatly disappointed when it didn't work out.
So it seemed the choices between the sub $200 price range and the very expensive $500 electric vehicles were few and far between.
This vehicle was just a little over $200, and after some careful research I decided to get this ATV.
So this riding toy has considerably more power.And it was purchased for my daughter that just turned three.The size and speed of the toy seems to be a bit much for her as she seems afraid to ride it, so take that into consideration if you are purchasing for a little one.The toy says for ages 3 and up.The vehicle has two speeds, and the extra speed burst can be activated by twisting the right handle bar grip.The extra speed throttle setting can be disconnected though, so it can run at the slower speed for smaller kids.The lower speed is still fairly fast compared to the other electric toys.
My other daughter who is 5 loves this toy, and had no problem jumping on and figuring out the controls.
In it's current state, it is perfect for riding on the lawn.However if you transition to pavement, the plastic wheels make a racket.I discovered that you can find places online that will sell you rubber covers that will provide more traction.You can also modify these toys to use real rubber wheels.
The only other negative aspect is this toy is considerably larger than some of the other electric vehicles I looked at.The smaller toys can be ridden inside the house, while this one is really meant to be played with outdoors because of the size and speed.
The build quality of this toy is superior to the ones I've tried and I believe it will provide years of fun for my kids.I highly recommend it.
