TOP—7. The best electric cars for children. Rating 2021!

*Review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

Modern children have a unique opportunity to feel like real drivers of their own car, ATV or bike. Of course, for children, and only within a safe area.

The stores offer electric cars for children's rides of different capabilities, power and weight. It is important to determine the scope of choice in advance so as not to be led by the child or sellers interested in selling an expensive toy, because the responsibility for the purchase and safe operation lies solely on the shoulders of the parents.

What to look for when choosing an electric car

You can get confused by the variety of offers when looking at exhibition stands with electric cars. Before getting acquainted with the rating of the best electric car models for children to ride, we suggest determining what the car should be like:

1. The motor
   is the first thing you need to pay attention to. For driving on smooth asphalt, an electric car with one engine is suitable, for off-road use - with two and a powerful battery.
2. Weight
   determines the number and power of the engine. Light electric cars with one engine are more suitable for urban areas, heavy ones behave better off a smooth road on potholes; they usually have 2 motors. It is also necessary to take into account the method of transportation to the storage location: it is convenient to store heavy machines on the ground floor of a private house or in an apartment building with a good elevator.
3. The battery capacity
   partly determines the weight of the electric vehicle and the duration of its operation - the larger, the heavier the vehicle and the longer it takes the child to ride. Some electric vehicles are equipped with several batteries: replaceable to save charging time or double to increase resource.
4. control
   is carried out from the control panel via a radio signal. Electric cars for children under 3 years old must be equipped with such a function for parents to control the trajectory of movement; this is a safety measure for the child and others.
5. The speed
   of movement should be chosen in proportion to age: the younger the child, the slower the electric car travels, the easier it is to catch up with her.
6. The material of the wheels
   determines the ease of movement: the thicker the rubber coating, the better the unevenness of the road surface is leveled out and the longer the wheels last.

We will not advise any specific manufacturer - there are worthy representatives in every country, the models of some of them are presented in the EXPERTOLOGY rating of electric vehicles. When choosing models, experts took into account the safety, functionality, popularity and cost of electric vehicles for children.

Selection criteria: basic information about electrical machines

Electric machines can be classified into several categories, but the main types of models are with and without a remote control.

The first option is good for adults: parents of small children can control the ride from a distance, and in the case of an age group of 5 years and older, insure it. For children from 8 years old (when the child grows up), the vehicle will serve as a toy with a remote control.

Electric machines without a control panel are less common, but some of them have a handle for adults if the children are small, but for older ones there is no need for it.

Electric machine with handle for adults

How to choose the right model of electric machine? There is a list of criteria that will make making a purchase much easier. Recommendations for selection:

• Consider the child's age. Most cars are good for 5-6 years. If the age is critical, for example 7-8 years, then it is better to think about whether it is worth purchasing a toy - advice for families with one child.
• Possibility of control. The remote option is unrivaled. Therefore, the question arises of what to look for when buying this type of electric vehicle. The main thing in this matter is the range of the remote control.
• Availability of seats. What types of interiors are there in electric cars? There are single and multi-seat ones. The second option is suitable for a family with more than one child, with a slight difference in age.
• Functional. For young children, the minimum set is sufficient; for older children, the more opportunities, the better.
• Which company is better? Everyone has their own preferences. All cars of this type are made as mini copies of a real vehicle. But this does not mean that a branded manufacturer (for example, BMW) produces a toy version in imitation of its realistic car. Most electric vehicles come from China.
• As for the material. Absolutely all models are made of plastic, which is durable. Wheels – rubber or plastic, a combined option is possible. The interior - artificial leather or plastic - depends on the model.

In general terms, the recommendations given are the main things that buyers pay attention to. The type of vehicle is also important: police, ambulance, etc.; a set of design elements such as a retractable handle, luggage compartment, radio and much more.

Another point to consider is budget. Sometimes models with the same capabilities have a large difference in price. In such cases, it is worth accurately comparing the technical indicators with each other and drawing a conclusion. Product reviews from customers who have been using a certain type of electric-powered vehicle for a long time will be an excellent help.
