About our cars
We source cars from around the world to ensure that you get the best quality at the best price. It also depends on the make and model.
A fully charged battery should last between 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes depending on the surface the car is riding on, the weight the child and the frequency of it being driven. The flatter and smoother the surface, the longer the battery will last. After 100 recharges you will start to notice that you won’t be getting the same run time between charges, please get in contact with us for spare parts and we can quote you on the replacement and delivery of a new battery.
Please ensure that you DO NOT charge the battery for any longer than 8 hours. If the battery is charged for longer it will unfortunately cause permanent damage and you will need to replace it. You need to also ensure that you charge the battery at least once a month when not in use.
All our cars can be operated by your young one. And depending on the vehicle will depend on if it has a parental remote control. To know which cars can also be controlled by remote control we have a “Remote Control” icon in the features section as well as the “What’s included” section. To switch from self/driver control to the remote is easy – it’s just a flick of a switch.
If your ride on car won’t start the first thing to check is that you have removed the plastic seal from the battery connector plug. When you get your ride on car, the battery cable is protected with a plastic seal. Remove the plastic seal before you connect it with the battery so that a proper connection is made.
