Children's electric cars are conventionally divided into three subspecies:
- ATVs that spin like tanks off-road;
- motorcycles designed for only one child;
- and cars (jeeps, trucks, racing, cars) - it is most comfortable and safe to ride in them, because the salon is equipped like a real car, and seat belts are provided. You won't find them on ATVs and motorcycles.
If you have not one, but two or three babies, it is not necessary to buy each one a car. Take a closer look at comfortable two-seater cars. The main thing is that children do not have skirmishes from the category of "who is driving", but otherwise, such electric cars are very much even nothing. Roomy.
To clarify for yourself the question: "How to choose an electric car?", Look at the details.
- Suspension: affects the ride on bumps and bumps
There are two options - coaxial or independent suspension. In the first, the wheels are "connected" to each other, and in the second, one of them can move relative to the body and does not affect the position of the other wheel. So if you are planning to buy an electric car for the countryside, take one with independent suspension. For smooth sidewalks, a coaxial one will do.
- Wheels: the larger and softer, the more comfortable the ride
Diameter (size) is important. The larger it is, the higher the clearance, which means the car will overcome more obstacles. Protectors are also not for beauty: the more aggressive they are, the more chances you have to go off-road.
Wheels can be plastic, rubber, rubber or combined. Plastic is a bad option. These wheels are noisy and wear out quickly. Suitable for driving only on a soft lawn.
- Engine power: the higher it is, the more massive the car
The higher this indicator, the longer the child will be able to ride on one charge.
- Maximum payload based on total passenger weight
Manufacturers advise against exceeding the carrying capacity, it is better to buy an electric car with a margin. For growth. Be guided by the “recommended age” prompt, where the characteristics of the product indicate, for example, from 1 year, from 3 years or from 5 years.
- Seat belts - to securely fasten the baby in the chair
They differ in the attachment points - two-, three- or five-point. Three- and five-point are the least traumatic. They do not pinch the baby's body. The child will feel comfortable, but you will feel comfortable.
- Start mode - button or key
There is a stick at both ends: on the one hand, the key is convenient - you pulled it out, put it in your pocket, no one will start the transport; on the other hand, the button will certainly not be lost and you will not forget it at home.
The electric car is easy to operate. Many models emit sound effects, others have a multifunction steering wheel, and still others are equipped with an on-board computer that displays useful information on the display. The child does not need to be smart, just step on the pedal and turn the steering wheel.
Most electric vehicles are equipped with a remote control, which comes in handy when the child is too young to operate the car. Or fell asleep.
And everything would be fine, but there is a huge minus of all these miracle machines. It's weight! 20 kg or more is no joke, so when choosing a children's electric car, pay attention to the handle at the front of the case. Like in a suitcase. You don't have to bend under the weight, dragging the car to its destination. I took it and drove it. It remains only to decide which electric car is better for a child: a white BMW, an orange Land Rover, a red Porsche or a black Mercedes-Benz.
How to choose an electric car engine
Most manufacturers' batteries are similar in voltage, capacity, size and performance. They are interchangeable in some cases.The benefits are obvious: increase the capacity of the battery used, → increase the mileage of the electric vehicle on a full charge. It is important to make sure that the more capacious battery fits in the battery compartment of the electric vehicle and can be charged by the standard charger. Let's figure out which battery is better for a children's electric car.
| Optimal "price-quality" | Brand name |
| Cheaper |
|
| More expensive |
|
You should not buy the cheapest batteries with a short shelf life (1-3 years). Practice shows: these will last less than the stated time. Take those where the expiration date is 3-5 years, 6-9 years and 10-12 years.
If you are looking for an analogue for the same dimensions, take the models that are most often used in children's electric vehicles. Two characteristics are important - voltage (measured in V (Volts) and capacitance (in ampere hours (Ah)).
| Voltage | Capacity |
| 6V |
|
| 12V |
|
You can, of course, not philosophize, but decide on the size of the battery - in length, width and height. Some children's car manufacturers pack the battery in a plastic casing or braid. Then take it out before measuring, up to three identical batteries are installed in such a casing. One is measured.
Electric car: reviews
vadbess, Bambi Porsche White (M 3272 EBLR-1): "The car is worth the money: it starts with a key, there is an mp3 player, a leather seat. The only thing is, I have no idea how to put a seven-year-old child into it. The four-year-old son is sitting down perfectly so far, but the six-year-old daughter is already having difficulty».
Lena Pavlovna, Bambi Mercedes-Benz M 2772EBLR-2: "We bought such a car for my son, I'm happy to this day (it's been rolling for the second year). When driving, the headlights shine in it, there is a built-in tablet and music. It doesn't go very fast, but I think it's good, otherwise if he flew on it, I would not keep track. The set includes a radio control, if your kid is small and does not know how to control it, you will do it for him. Grabs a car for about 40 minutes, then it drives worse».
Inna I. Lapchinskaya, Caretero Aero white: "Beautiful, sonorous, easy to control, suitable for off-road driving (we use it in a country house where there is no asphalt). Holds charge for a long time».
Nataliya, Baby Tilly T-7610 White: "The car has 2 motors with a power of 50 watts. The speed develops up to 5 km / h. The battery charges overnight. You can drive continuously for 2.5 hours on a single charge. When recharging is needed, the car informs about it».
