6 Volt vs 12 Volt Electric Ride on Cars

We get asked this all the time, what is the difference between 6V ride on cars and 12 volt ride on cars. Or ride on toys for that matter. Its actually quite straight forward.

12V toys will have a more powerful motor and will therefore be faster and may be able to run longer on a single charge. The 12 V electric cars will also be able to climb steeper slopes on driveways etc, and also may be able to drive better on looser surfaces such as peddles etc. Although it has to be said, these cars do not perform at their best on these sorts of surfaces and it should always be kept in mind when purchasing that you are going to have a large flat hard surface for your child to drive on.

The 6V ride on cars are better cars for younger children as they are more suited to a lighter weight distribution and slower speeds. The last thing you want is your child driving too fast and constantly crasing into things, these cars and jeeps are very well built but they are still not indestructible.

All in alls it is pretty much common sense, the bigger the motor the faster and more load bearing a ride on car can be. But if you have any more specific questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
