Radio Flyer Ultimate 24V Electric Go-Kart for Kids Ages 3-8 | 2-Seater Ride-On Toy Car | Red Battery-Powered Vehicle | Perfect for Backyard Fun, Birthday Gifts & Outdoor Play

We got this for my toddler for Christmas last year (he had just turned 3yo Nov 30th for reference) he absolutely loves this thing he’s able to drive it very well even at the highest speed setting which goes pretty fast you will not be able to catch it even if running they most likely won’t be able to hear you either if to far ahead so it’s important your child knows road safety/rules or lock the speed to where max speed (3) can’t be reached. My child knows to stop at any stop sign or road crossing to wait for me to cross, he knows to be alert an if a car is coming move to the side & get as close to the grass then stop for the car to pass & me to catch up, he knows to always ask before going to speed 3 (highest speed) since he rides mainly in the large parking area in front of our apartment so when he asks to put it on 3 we can go to one of the 3 parking areas that have a few or no parked cars since 3 speed setting has the most drifting capabilities an the go kart is a little harder to control at top speed (you can absolutely drift on 2-medium speed setting just not as intense as 3) as soon as he sits in the go kart he is to put the seatbelt on(he’ll mimic me when I was teaching him & say “Safety First” when buckling) even if he is on 1- slowest speed setting, the only rule he needs to be reminded of at almost every ride is when he is in 1st,2nd, an especially 3rd “gear” to always watch where he’s going “keep his eyes on the road” (when he’s racing his friends that are on bikes he likes to look behind him while driving to see how far behind they are which can be dangerous especially when going max speed) and when he shifts his gear to R(reverse) to back up that he is to look behind him so he can see where he’s going of course the rest of the safety rules are pretty much second nature to him as he’s done them all since he first drove it an I only had to tell/show him the other rules once so he caught on to them pretty quickly & the rule of watching where he’s driving he’s catching on (I know it’s just a kids natural curiosity to observe their surroundings)I also made sure to explain the dangers that could happen to him if he didn’t follow “our safety rules” in a way he could understand & that is age appropriate! I also don’t let any of the neighborhood kids drive it unless I know the child/child’s parents & their parent/s say yes an are outside to watch their kid drive, My 3yo says they can(since it’s his I/kid always ask his permission if they can drive it first then we proceed with their parents,etc), an it depends on the child (which is why I prefer to know the child) if they’re capable of understanding the safety rules & following the directions I give, we also do a safety check before the first ride of the day making sure bolts are tightened properly, the pedal is free of debris or any object,etc. something I noticed that gave me peace of mind when he’s driving is having something where I can catch up to him quickly even when he’s going max speed a few months ago I purchased an electric scooter that can go faster than his max speed so if I need to catch up to him quickly it’s totally not necessary as long as the child knows & follows the rules you’ve laid out for their safety it just lowers my anxiety knowing I can get to him quickly no matter what speed he’s going! the reason for me explaining all this is because I wish someone had done it for me when I first purchased it so I knew exactly everything to expect (for example I read the details/description of the go kart an I knew it was capable of going fast but I wasn’t prepared for exactly how fast it would go at max speed until I visually saw it in 3rd “gear”) my 3yo is rough little boy & so far the go karts held up amazingly the quality is awesome it’s very sturdy so much so I have even drove it a couple of times (I’m 5’1 100lbs for reference ) it works on regular roads, sidewalks, grass(although this surface drains battery faster as well as it doesn’t go as fast as it would on a hard flat surface) those are all the surfaces we’ve tried currently. I says it’s absolutely worth the price an I highly recommend for all those adventure seeking, thrill loving toddler/kids! Imo the battery life is awesome it’s never completely drained the battery to where it wouldn’t go anymore since we got it just remember when outside if your child gets off to do something else always turn it off (there’s a power switch location on the back of go kart) until their ready ride again an when done riding for the day turn it off & put it on the charger until fully charged all an all it’s an awesome electric go kart my toddler had other electric “power wheels” standard vehicles 6v,12v but he’d get bored with them quickly as most he/I could walk faster than they’d go he also has older siblings that have hoverboards, electric scooters,etc an none of his 6v or 12v vehicles could keep up with them but at 24v, 3speed settings, this go kart definitely does it all keeps his attention & allows him to keep up with his older siblings it’s been 5months and this is still his go to over all his other powered vehicles and non powered vehicles like his bike or kick scooter the only con I have is I wish the wheels weren’t made of plastic and/or they had other wheel options you could buy to replace the plastic ones if you wanted to other than that I have no complaints nor does my 3yo! We’re Definitely satisfied and happy with our purchase thus far
