KristenR Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Looking to get my three daughters (ages 4,6,8) some sort of battery operated vehicle for our homestead (one vehicle to share). I'd like something for them to be able to ride around on our property. It definitely wouldn't be used expressly on cement or driveway but actual terrain. We live on 5 acres of varying terrain. Overall very level but some small mounds/hills. Some dirt/mud and gravel areas. I've been looking into power wheels but wonder if I might be better off with something a bit more powerful. I dislike the thought of the plastic tires on them and would prefer rubber tires. However, I also don't think we're at a level where we want anything gas powered. I'd like to keep it battery operated. Do they make ATV go-carts? What works for your family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 They seem awfully young for a real ATV, or to be riding on uneven terrain, particularly your 4 and 6 year-olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah, ATVs are looking too powerful the more I research them- even their smallest ones with speed locks.I'm not really worried about the uneven terrain. Our land is mostly flat. The "hills" being slight raised areas where ponds were built and the dirt was flattened out over a small sections. I'm eyeing this Power Wheels jeep right now. However, it's on the pricier side and the shipping is another $100. I'm so spoiled by Amazon Prime that shipping of any amount irks me.

Catwoman Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That Jeep is really nice! One of the little kids in our neighborhood has this cool John Deere Power Wheels thing that is open in the back so he can tote stuff around in it. He loves that thing! He gives his toys rides in it, and he also fills it up with leaves and branches. I'm on my phone so I can't search for it right now, but they probably bought it at Toys R Us, Walmart, or Target. If you would like to see it but can't find it, let me know and I'll try to find a picture of it when I get on my regular computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminded me of three boys I saw a few months ago, they were all driving one of those in a little row, trailing their dad. They were adorable! I think they are called Gators. If you want a power wheels to be a bit more powerful, my BIL hooked two batteries up to a Barbie Jeep. It went a lot faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We got this for dd's fourth birthday. http://www.kartquest.com/kicker-electric-atv-utility.html She had absolutely no issues learning how to drive it. It has two speeds, 5 and 10 mph, and she stays at the slower speed for now, because she's in the neighborhood. Once we move she can drive it on the faster speed on our property. My big girls age 6 and 9 also ride and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
