Offroad ride on for 3 year old

Hello - I am looking for a ride on for a 3 year old that can handle driving on grass and dirt, but I don't need it to necessarily move fast. Ideally, these are the features I would like:

  1. Ability to drive on grass/dirt (must have)
  2. Two seats (important, but not an absolute dealbreaker)
  3. Seatbelts (is this uncommon? I'd like to have it but not sure if many of these type of toys have them)
  4. Remote (would be nice, but not a dealbreaker)
  5. Good build quality/customer support
  6. No modding required (I just don't have the time right now)
  7. I do NOT care about extras like Bluetooth speakers or anything like that. Seems like unnecessary fluff to me that will just break or not work correctly
  8. Ideally, my budget would be under about $750

In my brief research thus far, it seems that many people like Peg Perego, and Best Choice Products also gets some fairly good reviews. So I've found the following 2 choices that stand out so far. Can you all let me know what you think?

Peg Perego 12V 900 RZR

  • I was leaning toward this one, but then noticed it doesn't have seatbelts (like the Pro version does), and it also doesn't have doors. So I'm concerned that my child could just fall out. Is that common for new drivers on these things?
  • I was also a little concerned about this one only being 12V and not being able to handle grass/dirt because of that. Do y'all think it could handle offroading fairly well?
  • I also know that this one doesn't come with a remote

24V 2-Seater Electric Ride-On Car Truck

  • This one seems pretty good overall, but my main concern is the brand. Is BCP known for being a pretty good brand? Seems like Peg Perego is more widely recommended for build quality and spare parts
  • This one comes with a remote, but curious if others have had good experience with that feature

Steering shaft removal

Im trying to remove the steering motor but I cant seem to remove the steering pole. Anyone mod this one? Ive already removed the steering wheel and I cant remove the shaft. Ive tried to remove the motor but it cant find whats holding it down. I cant remove anything else until I remove the shaft.

Edit...figured it out, removed the dash and the body did not go all the way down, saw a cotton pin and removed it.

Need help with curbside find

Got this John Deere Gator (Peg perego huv) off the curb but noticed the wires inside are clipped where the battery should go. Can I fix this easily? Or not worth it

Need help with a curbside find please

Found this really cool Powerwheel on the curb. Appears to be an authentic Porsche licensed toy. It looks to be in great condition. It did not come with a battery or charger. I’d like to be able to use it with my drill batteries. I currently have the Milwaukee 12v stuff. The kids aren’t into driving these things much yet so I think I’ll be good without 18v for now. Please, teach me your ways. What all do I need to revive this thing? thank you much.

Noob help

I got a power wheels brute force Kawasaki for my foster kid at a garage sale for $5

I knew there was some issues with it, knowing the connections do not stay on the battery well, and previous owner had taped it.

However, the fuse is completely destroyed, I am curious as to what fuse is needed to get this up and going again?

Also, is the battery pictured sufficient (if it works, I haven’t tested it yet)? And yes, I know this is a mod group, I’m not currently interested in upgrading battery (at least not at this point currently) unless necessary.

Help with 6V car

Car starts, light etc works but when pressing gas wheel spin very slow and then slowly speeds up. When on ground there is no power to move it.

I have changed battery, motors and "control unit" (from aliexpress). Motors work fine when getting power directly from battery. Any ideas? Also i have bypassed chargin port and gas pedal, but still same issue.

Any help? Should i just replace everything with 12v setup or 18v (i have ryobi batteries) Thanks!

The next step

So I'm sure everyone here has had this thought... My daughter has outgrown her 24v RZR (the older two seater with the full roll cage) I've replaced the motors, swapped to lithium batteries... She's just bored of it. She has found its limitations, and although she can whip it around a ragdoll, she wants to be able to explore the woods and property more and charge less.

My question for everyone here is, what's next? I'll keep the RZR for her little brother since he's on an m18 swapped gator for now. Do I get her a small bore ATV? A go kart? I'm not looking to drop $2k right away but it kind of feels like that's where this is heading.

For reference, she is 5 years 4 months old and 40ish pounds.

Super modded xxl Powerwheel

I retuned these for launch control. See how the boys car slowly goes then full power sends after a few seconds. Without this tune, the cars does wheelies. Fine tuning with FarDriver controller is the way to go.

Battery holder for peg perego tractor 20Ah lifepo4

I wanted my son's tractor to drive longer, so I designed the 20ah Lifepo4 battery mounting to the Peg Perego tractor. Maybe my modification will inspire someone

Recommendations

any suggestions on a ride on for my boys?

thank you in advance for any advice. just a mom trying to make sure we get something good and not a waste of money 😅

2 boys- ages 4 and 1. I’d like a 2-seatet to fit them both.

parental remote a plus- while he learns to drive

will be used in some grass and pavement.

budget under $300- under $250 would be even better

Won’t hold a charge

Does anyone know what I need to do for a quick fix so my daughter can start enjoying this again? It’s one of those rechargeable battery power wheels but it has pretty much lost all of its juice. I can provide more pictures if needed. Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Zoinks Halo Warthog 24v Parts

I picked up a Zoinks 24v Halo Warthog yesterday and am looking for some parts if anyone has any available? I need the following:
- 1 hub cap
- Both left and ride side step rails
- Laser tag vest
- Laser tag plasma pistol
I found that KidsWheels in Texas has a website that claims to sell them but they have HORRIBLE Yelp reviews so curious if anyone has ordered from them before? I reached out to them but haven't heard back yet. I am located in the US also. If anyone has any spare parts, knows where to get some, or the ability to 3D print them for me please reach out! Thank you!

775 to 7R Install

What does it take to replace the stock 550 to 775 in a 7R? Do I need the ML mounting plate? Just a larger pinion size? Any modification to the box otherwise?

Can I do an 80 volt conversion mod similar to the 40 volt conversion mod?

Looking at a few power wheels dune racers on facebook marketplace. I want something that my kiddo can enjoy for multiple years.

I have seen multiple setups of a 40 volt conversion on these, can this be done with an 80 volt battery and the appropriate converter? I already have a bunch of 80s on hand for my yard tools.

Just looking for something that when all said and done that will have plenty of power and go like 10 mph max when he is ready for that.

Upgrades that I am sure I'll need

Gearboxes (assuming the aftermarket premades will work)

Remote kill switch

Low voltage shut off

Variable speed pedal?

Brake mod (the one that goes under the pedal)

What am I missing?

Maybe some bells and whistles lighting etc... but not worried about that now.

Gifted this rollplay 12-volt chevrolet silverado... Am I on the right track?

I was just gifted this rollplay 12-volt chevrolet silverado ride on truck. The battery needs to be replaced. I was considering converting to use my Milwaukee batteries, as I always have a couple charges. Am I on the right track with these purchases? Anything you would recommend instead? Anything I need in addition to these to help with setup? (Like additional wire, tools, etc)

Dune Racer Blowing 30a Fuse on High Power

I got a simple converter kit just the one that includes an in-line fuse and the lines connect straight to the black/red that the battery connector ended up connecting with.

I use my milwaukee battery, is it normal that it trips on the 30a fuse or should i actually use one of the boards that can tune the speed with a dial? If the dial is the recommended approach just curious which one most people have success with!
