Ricco S2188 "Lights and Music Pink BMW Style Kids Ride on" Remote Control Car (WHITE)

My grandson loves this car. He already has an electric ride-on but this one has twin motors which make light work of the inclines and hills we have surrounding the house. The four wheel suspension is simple, but effective. The bodyshell is constructed from strong flexible material which bounces back after the inevitable collision.As others have spotted, the instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired but assembly is quite simple if you can use hand tools. MY top tip is to lightly lubricate all moving parts with a THIN film of silicone grease or Vaseline before assembly. The plastic wheels rotate on a steel stub axle so it is important to lube the axles to avoid premature wear. I shall remove the wheels annually and clean/relube. For those of us worried about general longevity it is good to notice that the motor which actuates the steering system when the parental remote is deployed is the same type as those which drive the rear wheels...'Proper' BMW stickers are freely available on what the BBC term 'a well-known electronic auction site' , and traffic lights and traffic cones are easily sourced from Amazon.I am so impressed with this car that I am going to buy a red one for my other grandsonUPdate: after leaving the car all winter on a proper battery conditioner we discovered that the main batteries were no longer holding a charge. In our car the main batteries were a pair of 3-FM-4 six volt lead acid items, wired in series to give 12v. I replaced them with a single 9Ah 12v battery mounted across the car. It fits perfectly and because it is a more powerful unit, the car performs better on hills and lasts longer between charges, even with the headlights on (pic 2)

Great little vehicle, exceeded expectationsI bought it for my 3 year old, who is disabled and has limited mobility.She absolutely loves it.Really good value for the money, easy to put togetherIt really is a well designed vehicle, comfortable for baby, with seat belt, good quality materialsDrives at a slow walk, which is fine (for now!)Very impressed with the power, it will drive up fairly steep hills, over grass and gravel terrain without problemBattery length is good, at least 45 minutes - you can take a long walk in the parkIt's probably possible to double run time with additional batteries connected in parallelIf there was anything I would improve, it would be to add a cup holder - baby get's thirsty while she's cruising! Also, the remote can be a bit uncomfortable after long use, as it's button based, rather than stick.Otherwise, really really good - enough so that i'm writing a review!

This was a present for my 13 month old son and while I was concerned it was a little too big he totally loves it.The build of the car is good where we look at the cost. It's plastic but no surprises there. It's fast enough and the motors do pull the car along well. To note there are three speeds which is plenty.The car doesn't track 100% but not the end of the world.My son loves opening and closing the door himself, which is a nice touch, and then you can play music as he drives.The battery is very good and we have used semi regularly for over three months and the batteries have held their charge.My son is in love with this and always smiles when he sees it.We travel around the estate and it goes along the pavement without any issue.Would recommend this to a friend as I can see he will be able to use to at least 2 while I am sure he will still fit at 3 or maybe 4.

First one doesn't work, I ordered a replacement and it still didn't work. Instructions are very poor. Waste of time and money don't buy

This was an amazing gift for my nephew, he was so so happy with this on his birthday. The car arrived promptly, I was so excited when it arrived I took it out the box to ensure everything was okay, unfortunately there was some damage to the rear of the car. I contacted the seller and they sent me out a new one the next day!! Amazing! The second one was perfect, the only reason I have given this a four star is, it doesn't come with the BMW stickers, luckily this was noted in another review I had read, so I ordered these separately. My younger brother (15) put it together for me and said the instructions where easy enough to follow, however more tools where needed than recommended. Overall brilliant gift, and brilliant value for money. Thank you x

I did not expect much from this car when I bought it for my kids, just a basic car to drive and play For a couple of years before they grow out.It has been almost a year and so far it has exceeded all expectations.The remote is fantastic - it’s simple, responsive and overrides the car driver which is great for an emergency stop.Also has 3 speed settings. It’s used daily and hasn’t even needed a battery change!Car can easily squeeze in 2 toddlers if needed and still has enough power to climb minor slopesThe battery lasts for a couple of hours on full charge which is enough for a day’s playIt would’ve been good if they supplied brand stickers and personalised number plate but those are easily available at very low priceThe only trouble it has caused is fights over who drives it!All in all, it has been a great buy and I have recommended to multiple friends

Quality item

Got this for my son and he can’t stop riding on it. Looks great and very good value for money. Just a couple of points for others who may wish to buy it. In terms of size I don’t think it’s big enough for a 6 year old even although it says it can fit up to an older age. Assembly was easy except for the split pin for the wheels which are very stiff and the instructions don’t show how to put them in easily. The manufacturer could put a video on YouTube. Otherwise assembly was easy. My son loves it!!
