I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for this. We bought the ride on toy for my daughter's second birthday in a couple of months but would like to find a conversion unit to make it Bluetooth/remote controlled before we give it to her.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or experiences!
My homemade soft start for 18-20v conversion. my understanding is that 18-20V Lithium batteries destroy motors and switches mainly because of the 0 rpm current surge. lithium can send a much bigger surge than lead acid even at the same voltage, so when you increase the voltage and change to lithium batteries its really hard on stock hardware. My homemade solution is to run the power through a 1 ohm resistor for less than half a second to get the wheels spinning, then bypass the resistor for full power. on a 20v system this will limit the initial current surge to 20 amps. I've been running it on a pet perego 4 wheeler for a few months without problems. fingers crossed it holds up long term.
We are walking in a 'pets and power wheels' style parade tomorrow. My son will be driving his already highly customized Peg Perego Gator. After some serious soul-searching, we have decided to deck this thing out in any ridiculous "upgrade" we can manage before then. I have a 3d printer and already printed gold Dayton Spoke Spinner rims and a gold bigfoot hood ornament. I haven't come up with anything else so I'm hoping ya'll can point me in the right direction. Parade is during the day so underglow probably wouldn't be visible. Hit me with your worst suggestions.
Hey guys.
I'm looking for a Nascar Power Wheel. My kid races them and we need another one. Can someone point me in the right direction? Bonus points if in Oklahoma.
Thank you in advance!
Hello everyone,
I've got this drifting go kart for my son and it's been great but 6 months later I feel that he wants an upgrade with more speed. I'm not very good with electronics so I trying to work an upgrade schematic with AI - it recommended to get these two PWM controllers, one for each motor.
I've connected the controllers between each motor and the original stock controller but nothing happened, I get no power. I'm sure the schematic generated by the AI is either incomplete or wrong.
Does anyone have any experience with this and can guide me with a proper mod schematic or any tips?
Thanks you!
4 12v 550 motors, electric scooter motor controller, 13” EVA wheels.
It turns on and the remote can turn the tires left and right, but forward or backward just makes a whirring sound. Turning it off and on will get the tires to spin for a second but then it stops and it seems to lock where it won't turn again unless I turn it off and on again. First time owner, did I just buy a lemon ? What's the move here?
Had a little hit and run in the back yard so needed a little law enforcement 😂
As the title says, looking for a ride on that our almost 5 year old could use, perhaps with his little 2 year old sister. We have a long gravel driveway and our yard is fairly hilly. A parent remote would be ideal for safety. I've seen alot of recommendations for power wheels Dune Racer, but Mattel doesn't seem to be making them anymore.
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to improve the driving behavior of my daughter’s 24V ride-on buggy (white-label model BJFL5588) and I’m hoping someone here has reverse-engineered this controller before.
The problem
The car has a nice soft-start, but the stopping behavior is extremely aggressive.
When the accelerator pedal is released:
the controller performs a PWM ramp-down for about 0.5–1 second;
then it suddenly applies electronic braking by shorting the motor terminals;
the final stop is so abrupt that my daughter has already hit the steering wheel with her teeth.
I’d like the car to coast naturally for a short distance instead of instantly locking the motors.
What I’ve already measured
Controller:
CSR-24TW-11B
PCB: CSG4 RX V4.10 (2024/08/06B)
24V
Max current: 25A
The buggy has:
24V battery (7Ah)
4 × 35W brushed
I also got up with the folks that donated it.
I’ve tried a trickle charger to no avail.
I’m hoping someone can tell me why the wheels are not aligned because I can’t figure out how to fix it. The bar doesn’t seem to be bent anywhere and the wheels don’t seem bent either.
I'm seeing 6V 7AH on the battery. Can I just cut the leads and run my Makita batteries in it and will that super charge it? Lol
I found this Jeep for sale for $60. The seller says:
" needs a battery, and possibly some wiring work.. tried using a different battery on it and the power was very slow, it turned on but couldn't get it to drive its normal speed"
Blue one is on marketplace local for 100 and red is on Amazon for 300.00. Blue one said she has a mod for drill batteries.
Hi all,
I'm new to the world of power wheels and I'm honestly not too sure what I'm looking at here. My wife picked this unit up from a free marketplace listing. The previous owner stated it needed a battery.
I tried jumping the old battery and confirmed that the unit had power to the wheels. I took this as a good sign that maybe the old battery was just dead.
A replacement battery was installed today and there's still zero power. No radio/motor, etc.
The wiring looks like its been altered sometime in its life.
If anyone wouldn't mind taking a look at this and providing a recommendation on where to start, I (and my toddler) would really appreciate it.
Shortly after purchasing this power wheel for my 2 y/o son, I was diagnosed with cancer.
It functioned for just a couple of months before becoming completely immobile (much like me).
Fast forward 2.5 years, I am cancer-free and embarked on a project with my sons to repair it.
I planted for them some simple fixes and disconnected connectors so they’ll feel the satisfaction of identifying the malfunction and fixing it themselves.
I took on the opportunity to increase the battery to 24V 14A, replaced the motor controller, and when it actually drove the boys couldn’t contain their happiness.
Nowadays, I’m on the lookout to collect or purchase malfunctioning power wheels to fix and donate to children battling with cancer.
We bought a modded Peg P Gator about a year ago. At the beginning of this spring, we started to notice issues first it was a grinding sound, which I replaced the gearbox’s. Then it started moving without pressing the pedal, and that was remedied with a new pedal. Then the wiring was faulty, and one of the terminals ripped out, and I replaced the full wiring harness. So 3 new parts internally and there is still trouble.
It currently runs on Ryobi lithium batteries with an adapter. Plugs into the blue Peg plug that comes standard.
I have probably bought three of these battery adapters in the last two months and the thing just stops running even with a charged battery. The latest one came today worked fine as the kids drove it down into the backyard and stopped working within three minutes. I am at my wits end with this thing and they are so upset it has barely worked this summer.
