After all, parents are primarily concerned about the safety of their child, which is why it is important to know how these or those models differ and for what age they are suitable. This will protect the baby and parents from possible injuries. So, electric cars are divided into suitable for age categories from 1 to 4 years, and from 4 years and older. Let us consider in more detail the models by age categories.
Electric cars for 1-4 years
For this age, models of children's cars on a battery with a control panel are suitable. Entrusting such a young driver with the opportunity to drive a car is fraught with the fact that the child will drive without being oriented in space. For this, a control panel is used that allows parents to control the car from a distance. Moreover, some manufacturers offer a remote control for a children's car on a battery, which has large dimensions - to prevent injuries in a collision. In such devices, seat belts are provided, which guarantees additional protection for the baby. The maximum load allowed for such models varies in the range of 20-25 kg.
Electric cars for children from 4 years
For older children, manufacturers offer models - analogues of the most popular cars. Often both parents and children seek to find children's cars on Mercedes, BMW, or Audi batteries. A child sitting in such an electric car experiences not only driving pleasure, but also feels his involvement in parents who may ride such vehicles. The most popular are models such as the Mercedes Benz AMG G55. In addition, such battery-powered children’s cars have not only an excellent stylish look, but also good safety features. Thanks to the dimensions and seat belts, you don’t have to worry about protecting the child if an obstacle suddenly occurs . The maximum load of such models reaches 40 kg. In addition, the range of electric vehicles for this age is equipped with many additional functions, such as sound signals and the ability to turn on headlights. And on some there is a trunk where a child can put things or toys he needs.

Particular attention should be paid to the latter type, since it allows two children to ride in a typewriter at once, it can be either friends of the owner of this car, or a brother or sister. In a family with two children, this is the best option. Two-seater models and electric jeeps in Russia are represented by the well-established Jetem company. What are the customer reviews talking about. As for Tjago, this company offers various models of ATVs and motorcycles on batteries.
This is a great option for children 2-4 years old. Parents in reviews are advised to look at manufacturers such as NeoTrike, Henes, Kids Cars.
Electric cars on the control panel
As mentioned above, this is a great option for children under 4 years old. In addition, it will bring joy not only to the child, but also to the father, who will be able to control maneuvers and remotely control the car in which the child is located. South Korean manufacturer Henes recommends excellent baby cars on a battery with a remote control. In addition, the same company offers many models for older children, both simple equipment and premium. The latter are equipped with a special on-board computer, leather seats and a dashboard with backlight.
As for the Russian manufacturer Kids Cars, which has established itself in the domestic market, you can find a wide range of models for children from one year up to 10 years old. Among the models there are electric jeeps, analogues of popular brands, ATVs and motorcycles. Another popular NeoTrike brand is a joint Russian-Chinese production.

It is this attitude that makes it possible to ensure the reliability and safety of products. In addition, all products of this brand are certified. And the reviews of parents about her are positive.
What to look for when choosing
In order to understand what characteristics should be guided when choosing an electric car, it is important to understand at least the average performance of most of the proposed models in the Russian market.
Average technical specifications:
vehicle movement options - in all directions (back, forward, right, left);
electric vehicle speed - up to 3 km / h;
supply voltage - about 6 volts;
the mass of the child is 25-30 kg;
average duration of work is 2-2.5 hours;
built-in battery capacity - 7 A / hour;
additional functions - beeps, light bulbs, calls, music devices and more.
Above are the main characteristics of most models sold in specialized stores. First of all, when choosing a children's car on a battery, you need to look at engine power. It is important to remember that it needs to be recharged. In addition, the battery does not like long downtime and requires periodic charging, even when the electric car is not used. Pay special attention to safety, the case must be durable and protect the child in case of accidental collision with an obstacle. Care must be taken to ensure that there are no extraneous parts that could cause a baby to accidentally injure himself when hit. Children's cars with batteries with rubber wheels are considered softer and more stable when driving on rough terrain.
Reviews about children's electric cars
Of course, reviews are always based on the practicality of the model. The most common complaint is about a small battery capacity. When the claimed characteristic indicates the work for 2 hours, and in fact the electric vehicle works for no more than half an hour. But enterprising parents found a solution to this problem in the form of additional removable batteries.
Another no less important point is the strength of plastic. Because the child finds it funny to bump into all kinds of obstacles. Many parents prefer models made in China and Europe for durability. Plastic cases manufacturers from these countries withstand numerous collisions.
In addition, already experienced parents recommend that when choosing a model pay attention to clearance - this is the distance from the bottom of the car to the asphalt. This issue will be especially relevant for those who use an electric car in the country or in nature, where the surface on which the baby rides is uneven and has many small elevations.
Motorcycles and ATVs are best taken for older children, as it can be difficult for crumbs to sit and hold onto them.
Remember, when choosing children's cars on batteries, it is important that they are safe and reliable. What kind of electric car the baby will have, parents determine on their own: it will be a car - a copy of a popular model, such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc., or a motorcycle or ATV. The main thing is not to forget that this toy should first of all bring joy to the child, and then to his parents.
