The HOMCOM Electric Audi TT Ride On Car is my top recommendation for the best electric ride on car. This fully licensed Audi TT is safe, easy to drive and effortlessly cool. 

It can be controlled either manually or remotely. Kids can use the steering wheel to direct the car, and there’s two speed settings for them to choose from. It reaches up to 3 km/h. 

Adults can override the drive with the remote control, which can be used to control the car from a distance. Not only does this mean parents can join in on the fun (as there’s 3 speed settings using the remote), it also means younger kids can still use the car safely, as the adults maintain control.

It’s equipped with safety features including a seat belt, and there’s 4 wide tyres that offer a balanced and smooth ride across most terrains. The opening doors allow for easy access. 

Features include a USB music port which is MP3 compatible, working tail lights, a horn and pedals. 

It has a decent battery life, although it does require charging for up to 12 hours. Assembly is fairly straightforward, but the instructions could be clearer. 

It’s been designed for children aged between 3 and 8, with a maximum weight capacity of 25 kg.

If your child is more of the off-road type, the HOMCOM Electric Ride On Truck is a great option. This super cool design allows kids to cruise across a range of terrains (well, within the garden!). 

This little truck has working lights, a dashboard and illuminated headlights. The realistic steering wheel gives kids some real-world driving experience, while it goes a little faster than others I’ve tested, with a maximum speed of 5 km / h. 

Parents will be relieved to know it’s also safe. The tyres offer good suspension for a smooth ride across different surfaces, while the seat belt keeps kids safe and strapped in. It’s good quality, made from metal and PP, plus it has a reasonable maximum weight capacity of 30 kg. 

It has a battery life of 45 minutes, and the charge time is 12 hours. This could be better, and you may prefer to buy another battery. It’s easy to assemble in around 30 minutes. 

A slight downside is that while it comes with a parental remote control, the driver can fairly easily override this with the steering wheel.

If your child fancies cruising around town in a Bentley, the HOMCOM Electric Bentley GT Ride On Car is the electric car for them. This ultra-smooth electric car has a sleek black finish and a range of stylish features. 

Working features include LED lights, an MP3 player and a horn on the steering wheel. Pedals allow the driver to move forwards and backwards, while there’s a stop button for safety. The included remote control allows the parent to take control if needed, and touching the remote will override the driver’s controls. 

It has a good seat belt that fits over the drivers shoulders and middle. It has a maximum weight capacity of 30 kg, and can be used by kids aged 3 to 5. 

Battery life is about average at 45 minutes, and it takes a long time to charge. Some users have commented that the battery does deteriorate fairly quickly, so you may want to consider another. 

The assembly instructions aren’t particularly easy to follow, and some of the drill holes don’t line up. The stickers for the interior are a little cheap, although the rest of the car appears good quality.

Complete with a detachable trailer for snacks and other toys, this GYMAX Kids Electric Tractor with Detachable Trailer is for kids who have dreams of running their own farm one day! Forget sports cars, this tractor should be top of your list. 

The working steering wheel and pedals allow kids to develop their driving skills, but parents can take over at any point. 

It comes with a range of engaging features including bright lights, USB and Bluetooth function. The slow start prevents dangerous and uncomfortable acceleration, while there’s non-slip wheels which run smoothly over different terrains. 

There’s 2 speed options to choose from too, with a very good maximum speed of 8 km / h.

It has a reasonable battery life and a charge time of 8 to 12 hours.

A bright green Mercedes should be on any style-conscious child’s wish list, and the HOMCOM Electric Mercedes AMG Ride On Car is an affordable and safe model. 

It’s easy to assemble, with a number of YouTube videos that can be followed. The design is awesome; incredibly realistic and fully licensed. It looks just like the real deal, albeit not quite as fast!

Like most of the cars I’ve tested, this model can either be controlled by the driver or using the parental remote control. Children can operate the car up to a maximum speed of 5 km / h (with a slower speed of 3 km / h). Parents can take over when taking kids out and about, using the included remote to control the speed and direction. 

Extra features will keep kids engaged for hours, including a dashboard with built in music, a radio and the ability to plug in a phone for USB.

Safety is clearly a priority. The openable doors allow for safe entrance and exit, while the seat belt will keep kids secure at those top speeds. The tyres are large enough to ensure a smooth drive across a range of terrains. 

The maximum weight is 25 kg, so you may find it’s too small for children over the age of 5. 

It has a 45 minute run time and a 10 hour charge time, which is about average.

Law-breakers, watch out! The HOMCOM Electric Ride on Police Car is for children wanting to protect the public (or maybe just family members!). It has an engaging and realistic police car design that aspiring law enforcement officers will adore!

It wouldn’t be a police car without realistic features. This has a wailing siren, a horn on the steering wheel and flashing lights. Music can be played through the USB, AUX or Bluetooth, so your child can enjoy listening to their favourite music while they cruise round the garden fighting crime!

There’s two speed options to choose from, 3 and 5 km / h. There’s also a seat belt included so kids can strap themselves in, with wide tyres and suspension for a smooth ride across different surfaces. The remote control means adults can take over at any time. 

At 16 kg, this car can be a struggle to lift. Luckily there’s a handle so you can easily drag it in and out of storage.

If your child has a taste for sports cars, the La Ferrari Electric Ride on Car should be on their Christmas list. This little car is a touch pricier than others I’ve recommended, but the luxurious features and awesome design more than make up for it.

It’s equipped with realistic engine sounds and a luxurious leather seat that’ll keep your child comfortable while they cruise. For added realism, there’s a key start, while kids can also enjoy the LED headlights, rear lights and MP3 input. 

It has a weight capacity similar to others I’ve mentioned, 25 kg. As a result, it may not accommodate older or taller children, although for kids up to 5 years old it should be perfect. 

There’s two speeds to choose from (2 – 4 km/h), with both forward and reverse gears. There’s a seat belt fitted to keep your child safe, while there’s also a parental remote control which can be used for younger children. 

The only thing that lets this car down is the battery charge time. While others need charging for 8 – 12 hours, this battery needs 24 hours of charging, which is excessive. This charge time offers just one hour of play, which doesn’t feel enough after such a long wait!

If you’ve got more to spend and you’re after an awesome off-road truck, the GYMAX Pink Electric Ride on G Wagon is worth considering. It’s a great gift for kids aged 3 and above, while the parental remote control ensures even younger kids can enjoy it.

It has a realistic off-road truck build, and it comes with a wide range of great features. These include built-in music, a horn, USB port, TF slot and LED headlights. The two doors open, while safety locks will keep your child safe inside. 

On the subject of safety features, there’s also a seat belt. The slow start function will keep kids comfortable if they accelerate too quickly, while the wear-resistant PP wheels have a spring suspension system which ensures kids will be comfortable across bumpier surfaces. 

One of the best things about this truck is that there’s a back storage area. This provides ample storage space for your child’s toys and snacks.

It has a maximum weight limit of 30 kg, so should be suitable for most kids up to around 8 years old. 

It doesn’t reach quite the speeds of others, with a top speed of 5.5 km/h. 

Like others I’ve mentioned, there’s a parental remote control included. This ensures that parents have full control of the car at any stage – ideal for when younger kids are using it out and about.

The BTM Large Electric Ride on Truck is a fun and exciting toy for children, promising hours of entertainment (with the odd battery charge in between!)

One of the major pros is its realistic design. The car features a sleek and stylish exterior which closely resembles a real truck. 

It comes with a built-in Bluetooth system, so children can enjoy listening to their favourite tunes while they drive. Other features include LED lights, a realistic horn, FM radio and USB / AUX input. 

There’s three speed options, with an impressive maximum speed of 8 km / h. There’s also both forward and reverse functions. 

One of the best things about this truck is the battery. The charge time is 8 – 12 hours, but you’ve got a solid hour of run time (up to 2 hours depending on the speed mode). The battery is reliable and long lasting, which is a huge benefit!

It also has a decent motor, with enough power to get up gentle slopes in the garden. 

Parents will be relieved to know that it’s easy to assemble, while the remote control will override the pedals and gears, so you can instantly take control of the car if needed.

For kids after something a little different, the GYMAX Kids Electric Quad Bike is a great choice. This quad bike is easy to assemble, with an engaging and interactive design.

There’s both high and low speeds to choose from, with forward and backward gears. The lights can be operated from the control panel, and there’s also Bluetooth, FM and USB interfaces. The sky’s the limit when it comes to music options! Engine sounds will also make the driving more interesting. 

It’s made from durable materials, which is a huge bonus. The tyres are wear-resistant, while the grip means that it’s secure on beaches, concrete floors, wooden floors and rubber tracks. It’s more stable than other ride on toys thanks to the large tyres. 

The slow start feature is also worth mentioning. This avoids the danger of a sudden acceleration, and ensures that any acceleration is smooth. 

There’s a couple of downsides to mention. The first is that, unlike a lot of other ride on toys, there’s no parental remote that can override the controls. While the seat is wide and ergonomic, there’s not a seat belt. 

Having said that, the quad is stable, so you shouldn’t have any problems.
