You can't choose because almost everything is sold out.

We bought our grandson a batt powered Chevy pickup and grand daughter a batt powered VW Bug and you should see them racing! We got them helmets and I painted them so they would be like grandpa! Note the Chevy delivery vehicle!

Cool, but only 5 MPH? Booo! I bought my 4 year old an electric Razor 4-wheeler that goes 10 MPH, just a bit over $200 at Sam's Club before Christmas. Real rubber tires and a suspension in the rear. That little ***** is amazing on it. On pavement he does circles on two wheels, and loves trying to jump stuff. When it's wet or muddy he does donuts, and has learned that the rear brake allows him to lock the rear brakes and spin it around. Offroad it will go anywhere until the battery dies, real rubber tires are much better than the Power Wheels plastic ones. I always wanted one but never had one, so he gets lucky. Awesome toy.

They make it look really cool in the videos, but if they really only do 5 mph, kids are going to get bored pretty quick.

Man what a bunch of wet blankets you guys are.
![]() I like the idea of the razor, but my son's gonna be a road racer not a mud-monkey. ![]()

Gotta start small. Most of the small stuff is too baby, the ATV is the only thing he could ride and halfway have fun. When he gets bigger we'll move up to a decent go-kart. Plus, what little kid doesn't like getting muddy?

On my daugters 3rd Christmas I gave her a Honda CRF50 dirt bike, with "Wheels for Tots" training wheels on it. She loves it.
We only use it camping, at home she rides her bike. Bill |

I had a Porsche pedal car and a power wheels 4-wheeler and jeep. When I was 3 or 4 I figured out that I could drive down the asphalt driveway really fast and nail the brakes and do donuts. It explains so much about how I drive all motorized vehicles today.

Our daughter does not have one. We are liberal west coast eco snobs, and battery powered cars for kids don't fit into our world view. That is until we end up driving one ourselves......
