Powerwheels and all things about them

[RyanbabZ71]

Thought I would start this since many of us have kids/grandkids and talk a lot about these

 

Just found this today in target ad

Ahhhh powerwheels. That was the only thing I ever wanted when I was a kid. Never got it though because my mom told me it would be too slow for my liking. She was right and her theory stands true to me to this day. I like going fast lol

[RyanbabZ71]

They are pretty quick nowadays

 

 

Start Em young

lol that second photo reminds me of the setup driver's ed used to teach parallel parking.

 

 

Hot-rodding these is also a thing too. Several years ago I was at a truck show in Vermont and they had a power wheels race for the kids- stock and "modified". When I heard that I had to know more so I tracked down a dad who had one for his kid that looked like a science fiction movie inside. GIANT motor, digital power control and a functional (as in it needed it) wheelie bar.

I had the original Bigfoot. My mom told me I would part it partly on a curb and get under it pretending that I'm working on it. I also used to tie my Red Flyer wagon to the back of it and drive around like it's a trailer. She also told me even after being told I won't get another one so I better not mess it up that I would go towards a tree or something with my eyes closed and then at the last second open my eyes and swerve so I didn't hit it lol. What's ironic about all of this is that I love working on things, I have a class A CDL and I sometimes (used to mostly) take chances while driving.

My dad made a trailer for my BigFoot out of the bucket from a front through lawnmower. They taught me to tow at 2 years old. I dont know if that scarred me or not

6 volt? 25 years ago they were dogs. My son had a 12 volt Suzuki quad that had 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse. They had a 6 volt Batmobile by another company that was slow.

 

What is the voltage in the Silverado and Camaro?

Lol saw this at Target. I almost bought it but my son's only 10 months.

[RyanbabZ71]

$160 is a good price for one

The 6v are one seaters only I think. They do okay with my boys, last year they got a set of Lightning McQueen 6v models from inlaws

[RyanbabZ71]

Do they play bumper cars?

[C25A1guy]

Only 6v? My son can go faster than a 6v car on his little push trike. Need to find a 12v version for x-man.
