What to look for when choosing

In order to understand what characteristics you should focus on when choosing an electric car, it is important to understand at least the average indicators of mostmodels offered on the Russian market.

Average specifications:

• car movement options - in all directions (back, forward, right, left);
• electric vehicle speed - up to 3 km/h;
• supply voltage - about 6 volts;
• child weight - 25-30 kg;
• duration of work on average - 2-2, 5 hours;

The above are the main features of most models sold in specialized stores. First of all, when choosing a children's car on a battery, you need to look at the engine power. It is important to remember that it needs to be recharged. In addition, the battery does not like to be idle for a long time and requires periodic charging, even when the electric vehicle is not in use. Pay special attention to safety, the body must be durable and protect the child in case of an accidental collision with an obstacle.

Reviews on children's electric cars

Of course, reviews are always based on the practicality of the model. The most popular complaint is about the small capacitybattery. When the declared characteristic indicates work for 2 hours, and in fact the electric car works no more than half an hour. But enterprising parents have found a solution to this problem in the form of additional removable batteries.

Another no less important point is the strength of the plastic. Because the child finds it fun to crash into all sorts of obstacles on purpose. For durability, many parents prefer models made in China and Europe. The plastic cases of manufacturers from these countries withstand numerous impacts.

In addition, already experienced parents recommend paying attention to the clearance when choosing a model - this is the distance from the bottom of the car to the asph alt. This issue will be especially relevant for those who use an electric car in the country or in nature, where the surface on which the baby rides is uneven and has many small hills.

Motorcycles and ATVs are best for older kids as it can be difficult for little ones to sit and hold on.

Remember, when choosing battery-operated children's cars, it is important that they are safe and reliable. What kind of electric car the baby will have, parents determine on their own: it will be a car - a copy of a popular model, such as BMW, Mersedes, Audi, etc., or a motorcycle or an ATV. The main thing is not to forget that this toy should first of all bring joy to the child, and then to his parents.
