An electric toy car is a perfect gift for children’s fun and education. When children learn to drive at an early age, they improve some skills such as concentration, since they must be attentive to their surroundings, and coordination of movements, especially between the hands and feet when operating the steering wheel and the pedal. In addition, they are made to be more attentive to their surroundings, so their curiosity about what surrounds them increases and they are more awake.

Regarding the technical specifications of electric toy cars, they are usually vehicles with one or two electric motors, powered by 6, 12 or 24 volt batteries, rechargeable from the mains, with a vehicle weight of around 30 kg, suitable for for a maximum load of about 25-40 kg and generally single-seaters. Some models have 2 seats, so the child can even walk his friends or siblings. They usually reach a maximum speed of 4 to 8 km/h, usually having 2 forward gears and a reverse gear. The autonomy of the battery differs greatly between the different models, but usually allows up to 1-3 hours of continuous use, with a recharge time of 6-8 hours.

Many electric toy cars have a remote control function, which makes it easy for young children to learn to drive the vehicle. For children up to 5 years of age, who usually do not reach the accelerator pedal with their foot, an adult controls the RC controller, while when the child grows up and reaches the accelerator pedal, he can drive the vehicle by himself without need for remote control.

Many models include realistic features such as key start, start chime, steering wheel with sounds when turning left or right, headlights that light up when the vehicle is moving, reversing lights, doors with opening mechanism and closing, left and right turn signals, horn or music.
