What to look for when buying kids electric supercars

There are many exciting toy supercars to choose between, from iconic red Ferraris to sporty BMWs. Before you jump into buying a ride on car, there are a few things to think about. 

1 – Age range

Make sure you choose the right ride on car for the age of your little one. Each is designed slightly differently depending on the ages it’s for, which can affect the recommended weight capacity. At Electric Ride On Cars, we offer cars for various ages, including 2 to 3-year-olds, 4 to 6-year-olds, 7 to 8-year-olds, and 9 to 10-year-olds.

2 – Weight capacity

Every ride on car has a different weight capacity, so you need to consider whether you’re choosing the right one for your child. Rider weights depend on several factors like age and height. Look in the product description to find the max load capacity for each toy car.

3 – Power 

There are different levels of voltage to choose from, so you need to think about power capacity and which is suitable for the rider. We stock various 6v ride on cars, 12v ride on cars, 24v ride on cars and 36v ride on cars.

4 – Colour 

This might seem like an obvious one, but you need to think about the colour of the toy supercars. There are endless colours to choose from, making it easy to pick one that perfectly matches your little one’s personality. 

5 – 2 seater

Your little one might love to drive around by themselves, but they may also want an extra seat for their friends to join in. 2 seater electric ride on cars offer more space for a passenger like a sibling, friend or cuddly toy.

6 – Remote control

If you want a bit more control over the car as your child uses it, a parental remote control might be for you. Children’s electric cars with remote controls allow you to help them steer and control the vehicle, which is excellent for new or younger drivers and gives you peace of mind to their safety. Read our guide on the best remote control ride on cars to help you choose the best option.

7 – Seat

Another thing to consider when buying toy supercars is the seat. You should look at what it’s made from, the shape of the seat and how comfortable it’ll be for your kids. Leather seats are some of the most comfortable, but they can also be made from plastic. 

8 – Type of wheels

Something you might not think about is the type of wheels on a ride on car. Typically the wheels will be either EVA or plastic, depending on the car model. EVA wheels are slightly different to plastic wheels as they have a rubber style coating, creating a much smoother ride. They also look more realistic, so if your children want their car to look just like their parents, these are the tyres to go for. 

9 – MP3/MP4 player

Many toy supercars come with integrated MP3 or MP4 features, which are an exciting addition for kids who love their music! They can play their own songs as they play games outdoors with their friends, making playtime even more fun. 

Which ride on supercars can I buy?

There are many different electric ride on sports cars and supercars that you can buy, offering endless choices for any car-loving child. Most mini real-life cars give kids a way of having something as close to the real thing as possible. They could match their parent’s cars or drive around bigger versions of their favourite toy cars.
