The brand of a real car or motorcycle from which a children's electric car is copied.
Many toy electric cars are made in the form of copies of real-life technology — this makes them more attractive to children. Most often, such devices copy the most expensive and prestigious models. When choosing, note that different types of transport can be produced within the same brand: for example,

-
Remote control. Possibility of remote control of the car from a separate remote control. This function is usually found in models for the little ones and will certainly be appreciated by caring parents: the remote control allows dad or mom to play the role of an instructor, monitor the baby’s movement and intervene in time to protect him from unpleasant collisions. Or, if your child doesn't want to drive the car himself, you can take over the controls and let him enjoy the ride.
—
Smooth engine start. A function that allows the machine to smoothly increase and decrease speed. Without this function, the machine’s engine runs jerkily, which is not very convenient; Smooth start reduces these jerks to a minimum, providing not only convenience, but also additional safety.
-
Speed limiter. Possibility to set a maximum speed limit for the electric vehicle. This function is found in models of the younger age category and is designed mainly for situations when the child is just learning to drive: the limiter does not allow acceleration to a dangerous speed, either intentionally or accidentally, and the parent can keep up with the car without any problems. The blocker is usually controlled in such a way that the child cannot turn it off independently.
-
Seat belts. The electric vehicle has seat belts. Their design
...may be different: some models use a belt over the shoulder and through the waist, like in real cars, others may use two vertical belts holding the child by the shoulders, etc. However, in any case, such belts, in full accordance with the name, provide additional safety for the little driver - not only in case of a collision, but also simply preventing him from falling out of the car during careless movement.
— Rocking function. This feature of a children's electric car is very similar to dancing cars (lowriders). Thanks to a special suspension, it is possible to change the position of the body. Thus, the electric car makes rocking movements, which can either simply amuse the child or rock him to sleep.
— Headlights (light effects). The presence of lighting devices in an electric vehicle. In models of the younger age category, these are the simplest lights that mainly play an entertaining role; In more advanced models, there are also full-fledged headlights that can illuminate the road at night. However, it is worth noting that even the simplest lighting effects have a practical function: they make the car more visible on the road.
— Klaxon (signal). The electric vehicle has a special sound signal (horn). This function is intended primarily to alert others that the vehicle is moving—for example, if a pedestrian walking in the yard is looking in the other direction. Often the horn makes a characteristic “beeping” sound, but there are other sound options.
- Sound effects. The presence of a speaker in the machine through which various sounds can be played. This could be the sound of an engine, a siren, melodies recorded in memory, and in some models even music from a memory card or a player connected via a mini-Jack (see below). The purpose of such sounds is mainly entertainment. Note that the horn described above in this case does not apply to sound effects; it is indicated separately in the characteristics.
- Radio. Own tuner that allows you to receive radio broadcasts - usually in the FM range. The sound is reproduced through the electric vehicle's own speakers.
— Mini-Jack 3.5 mm. The standard 3.5 mm mini-Jack connector in electric vehicles is usually used as an audio input for connecting an external player - MP3 player, mobile phone, etc. By connecting a signal source to this connector, you can play music or other sound (for example, the sound of a powerful engine) through the speakers of an electric car.
- USB input. Classic USB connector. It can have different purposes: in some models you can connect a flash drive with music to this input, others allow you to charge various gadgets from an electric car battery via a USB port. Specific application options for each model should be clarified separately.
— Slot for memory cards. A slot for reading memory cards, usually of the SD standard (however, even this standard has several varieties, so the specific supported formats should be clarified separately). As a rule, this slot is used as a built-in player to play music (or other audio) from a memory card through the speakers of an electric vehicle.
— Bluetooth. Typically, the Bluetooth module is used to wirelessly connect a smartphone and play music from it through the built-in speakers on board a children's electric car. Less commonly, such a connection is used to remotely control the machine.The ability
to open the doors of an electric car. This feature provides an additional resemblance to real cars, and also somewhat simplifies boarding and disembarking: climbing into the car through an open door is easier than climbing over the side.
