Anyone got one of these and considered removing the steering servo for a tighter turning circle?? I’m considering it and would love any feedback from anyone that’s had a go. As far as child safety, the emergency stop button on the parental remote should suffice.. Maybe I will just get it done and do an update video… either way!
Its true 24v unlike every other which is stepped down from 24 to 12. It has longer charge and stronger pull. instead of 12v and it has 3 forward choosable gears. It also has 2wd and fwd foam wheels, suspension Bluetooth mp3 player switch able lights, doors that open and leather seats.
As far as I know this was the 24v… only has rear wheel drive and the parental steering gyro makes it turn like a battleship! - if you are not concerned about one with parental controls, the ATV will turn on a penny!
I have a 3 year old and 2 year old,Do you think this would be too much for them? It looks fairly safe and I know you get a parental remote but the 3 year old is daring to say the least so I'd want a bit of safety.
I think it would be a winner! - the parental remote does give you that bit of piece of mind (you only need to remember to use it) the way I see it, if they learn the basics of driving now, they are gonna take to it like a duck to water when they move up to the real thing! It’s an absolute joy to watch them driving around in it... I got the rain cover too as we live in the UK and it rains! (Get one... you won’t regret it)
@@mattralphwright cheers for that mate, I'm Midlands way and know too well how rubbish the weather can be lol. I'll show it to the missus and hopefully she'll say yes because it looks really cool
3 things to think about.. it’s rear wheel drive (not 4WD) and the turning circle is quite wide, and the steering wheel is only held on with a single fixing. If I’m being picky. But the kids absolutely love it!
@@mattralphwright working on it bud, missus is sceptical because I purchased a land rover one for my 3 year old last year and it was broke within 6 months but she said 'it looks cool' so hoping if I mention it enough it'll turn into a yes lol. This vid has definitely made me interested though and is far better than their official one as it has a lot more detail
Hey mate how do you charge it ? Do you remove the battery to charge or just charge it with battery In place. Not really feesaboe for me to get it in my house to charge it otherwise.
Hi there.. had a similar thing happen with the opposite button on the steering wheel.. the elements had gotten to it and it would not cycle the preloaded music.. had to clean the contacts with some WD40 spray.. also worth checking and cleaning the connectors that can be found under the bonnet (hood) good luck
Hey Matt.. Great video - thanks for sharing! Have you considered the Mercedes Unimog which is also 24v? In fact, the Unimog is a true 24v (I believe this Maxpow is a 2 x 12V). I'm thinking of buying the Unimog but like to know your thoughts and details on these things... like the turning circle - how big is it? And the battery life - how long does it last real life? Riiroo's website states 90 mins though. TQ!!!!
Hi there, the turning circle is similar to a double decker bus.. more so when turning right.. it’s due to the steering servo ( we rarely use the parental remote for anything other than the emergency stop) thinking of modifying it and removing the servo.. then the turning circle will be more on point.. I can’t be sure regarding the battery but I thought it was a true 24v! - we use it regularly still even after all this time, and I only seem to charge it every few weeks.. the kids are yet to take it beyond the confines of our little compound, so it’s yet to have its legs properly stretched.. speed wise it’s great.. the pre loaded music is terrible.. but the kids love it.. imagine a bar on the costa del sol - filled with Japanese karaoke fans in the 90’s! However the Bluetooth feature and the radio make up for that. The only other model I would have gone with had money been no object - the Polaris RZR (the green one) it’s £900ish and hence was the reason I went for the one I did... saving up though.. it’s too wide to fit through a standard doorway, so don’t build it indoors unless you have a decent patio door situation... I have a 2 yo and an almost 6 yo and they still both fit side by side in there.. I think the older one will soon be needing the Polaris though.. I’m using that as an excuse! - I vote the MaxPow..purely from how well it has performed since we got it.
@@mattralphwright Btw, does it have a battery indicator? Wouldn't want to run out of batt with this heavy thing at the park! Come to think of it, is it heavy to lug it home if really need to? And do we need some sort of permission or license to use it outside the house compound?
It slowly dies and as the performance starts to fade you soon see it needs charging… on our outside socket it usually takes 4-6 hours.. but on the plus side it seems to last for ages
@mattralphwright i bought 1 recently, but suddenly doesn't move forward or reverse. Make a clicking noise when thr peddle it down and just blinks red. I am not sure what it wrong with it
@wakkimode8688 that doesn’t sound great! - try some wd-40 on the electric contacts or if you haven’t had it long your warranty should cover any repairs 👍 - had mine ages now so I have replaced a few bits as the kids drive it like a destruction derby car!!
It has the turning circle of a battleship! It’s because of the steering servo for the parental remote… I’m going to have that removed by someone with skills I do not (yet) posses! With that removed.. the remote will still function as an emergency stop, and forward/reverse.. Then it will be doing doughnuts! that is going to be an issue with all these toys that have the steering servo… That was very long winded… our garden is quite big, and it will only just do a circle. I can’t remember which, but one of the locks is slightly better, so it really does need the servo removed and for the steering to be directly connected… On the plus side.. our 6yo has now learnt to do three point turns and parallel parking manurers! We have had it for roughly as long as this video has been up, and although it now looks like it was used in the Paris - Dakar Rally, they still love it and it hasn’t missed a beat.. The shower cover doesn’t fit so well, so it has a parking space in the log store… It’s quite a lump of a thing (But their little faces… it’s worth it)
It is only rear wheel drive... I feel I should mention this, as the video on the vendors site (RiiRoo) eludes to it being 4WD... but the kids haven’t noticed, so let’s keep it between us
Hi there.. still going strong.. they both love it. The depths of winter was the only time it was out of action. One thing I will say though is that the shower cover is not good as the main way of storing the car (found that out the hard way) so as long as there is somewhere dry to store it.. I can’t recommend it enough. The turning circle isn’t great - bit of a boat.. so you do need a bit of space to get the most out of it
Makita make 40v batteries now for their tools(toys) - wondering to myself… as the warranty has expired.. is now the time to make some mods.. I think it might be
Plan to... just as soon as the warranty runs out! - looks simple enough, but I will get my sparky mate to do it as I don’t fancy making a mistake and melting the kids!
If the title seemed misleading- it’s because that’s the product name from the vendor.. I got it from www.riiroo.com - they were good to buy from.. did you get one yet?

And after all this time… it’s still going… albeit with broken front suspension
@@mattralphwright Still in perfect condition, and she uses it almost ever day.
Is this the 2 x 12v version with 2 x 100w motors? I know they now do the 24v version too.

Hey mate how do you charge it ? Do you remove the battery to charge or just charge it with battery In place. Not really feesaboe for me to get it in my house to charge it otherwise.
Plug goes in the car just under the seat.. so we have an outside socket we use.. not taken the battery out yet.. not until it dies for good
Just a thought.. do you have an outside socket? We charge ours using that as the car won’t fit through the door! (We need bigger doors!)
The horn on our utv stopped working. Do you know how we could possible fix that?

@@mattralphwright thanks, man! Wow £900?!! Too much for me mate 😂😂
I know.. it’s more than my car is worth! - actually that’s a good point.. maybe I need to get myself a Polaris! 😂
@@mattralphwright Hahahaha.. now that's thinking out of the box! 👍😂
@@mattralphwright Btw, does it have a battery indicator? Wouldn't want to run out of batt with this heavy thing at the park! Come to think of it, is it heavy to lug it home if really need to? And do we need some sort of permission or license to use it outside the house compound?
Quick question hiw do you know when the charge is gone or going also how long is a full charge take
It slowly dies and as the performance starts to fade you soon see it needs charging… on our outside socket it usually takes 4-6 hours.. but on the plus side it seems to last for ages
@mattralphwright i bought 1 recently, but suddenly doesn't move forward or reverse. Make a clicking noise when thr peddle it down and just blinks red. I am not sure what it wrong with it

Hi mate, great video!
Do you know the width of the turning circle, trying to work out if our garden is big enough to full lock turn?
It has the turning circle of a battleship!
It’s because of the steering servo for the parental remote…
I’m going to have that removed by someone with skills I do not (yet) posses!
With that removed.. the remote will still function as an emergency stop, and forward/reverse..
Then it will be doing doughnuts!
that is going to be an issue with all these toys that have the steering servo…
That was very long winded… our garden is quite big, and it will only just do a circle.
I can’t remember which, but one of the locks is slightly better, so it really does need the servo removed and for the steering to be directly connected…
On the plus side.. our 6yo has now learnt to do three point turns and parallel parking manurers!

@@mattralphwright thank you so much for your fast response
No drama.. let me know if you get one
Did you get one in the end? - a quick update.. it’s still going strong and the kids are still mad for it!

Yes it does - it’s loud, but the kids will always be louder!! 😝

Next is big kids toys…
