PlasmaCar Lime

The cars were up on Amazon's deal of the day and I could not resist with 2 grandchildren ages 3 1/2 and 2. The description was that it can move with or without the use of pedals, just by moving the steering wheel, with little new technology, the little car moves very easily, and can take up to 200 pounds. Well, my 15 year old, 180 pound son put the car together with a hammer, and got on it. Surprisingly, it worked! You can turn on a dime with this thing, so light and so responsive. I bought 2 more that day! The cars were $34 each and I saved them for Christmas. Grandkids, teenagers, and adults were quickly racing around the house! Great ride for everyone! The more you ride it, the faster it gets, for some reason. Now my little grandson can zoom around, using his feet to push, while my granddaughter can do both with or without feet. Do not expect anything high tech. The cars are plastic with metal bolts. They can be inside or outside. I have tiled floors and the cars are great on tile. Do not use them if you are over 40 pounds on hard wood. You will make grooves that won't recover. Kids can bump into each other in a regular speed without getting injured. the engineering for possible collisions is excellent. If your child likes to crash into things around the house, not so great. You may need to put bumpers on the cars. But all in all, well worth the little money and can last for years and everyone can ride them.

Today I jazzed this Lime green Original PlasmaCar with lime striped ribbons and a trio of helium balloons and presented it to our Grandson for his 3rd Birthday. He was all smiles and dancing around as he hopped on , trying to get the hang of driving. "Here let me show you ",said his Dad as he climbed aboard and took off around the family room. "No, Andy, I'll show him said his Mom, confiscating it. "You've almost got it" said Grandpa, there's a little trick to it" he said as he stepped in front of Mom's ride and took over. "Cut it out, give the poor boy his present will you, he can do this !" I said to Grandpa. I knew this because I had tried it before putting it in the car to head for the party. " Wiggle the wheel back and forth, there, you've got it " I said to our Birthday Boy. Off he went . "I can doood it !" he said. He doood it. You can doood it too. This lime green PlasmaCar is strong, a lot of fun and kind of reminds me of some kind of carrier from the Starship Enterprise. Highly recommended.

This is my Go-To gift for a child 2-4 years of age. It is more approachable than a trike because it has a wider seat and sits lower to the ground. Very young recipients may initially use it as a walking support and grow more comfortable pushing with their feet while sitting on it before they finally get the hang of the motion to drive it forward. It's lightweight enough for most toddlers to pull or push. It's sturdy enough for a small adult or teen to ride. I have given 6 of these to different families over the years, and a 7th to the same family again so the kids could "race". It is always the toy they rave about for years. I have not heard of one failing yet. The price point is an excellent value for the quality. Assembly requires a literate adult, and possibly the use of a mallet if that adult is not particularly strong. It all comes packed ready to assemble and in 3 steps you're ready to ride!

These little vehicles were excellent gifts for Christmas. Our grandchildren had a ball. But we do have a large barn with concrete floors…made for them. I’m not sure how good they’d be on other surfaces…

This is a good quality ride, fun for the kids. But you need the area for your kids to ride. That’s my only downfall—other than that great toy!

We decided to purchase this for a 3-year-old nephew, based on the longevity of the one we've had for about six years. My son got it when he was four, he just turned ten and will still go out in the garage or driveway and ride around. It can take kids a few minutes to get the hang of it, you make small forward and back movements (maybe about 15 degrees) with the steering wheel in order to start moving. If you turn it all the way around like a steering wheel, you'll spin but you won't move forward. I don't think anyone it going to travel long distances on it, but it's been in our driveway, garage and short distances down the street regularly since we got it. We did use it indoors for a while, not good on carpeting, and it didn't seem to damage our wood floors, although they recommend you not use it on wood floors for that reason. As soon as it went outside it became a permanent outdoor toy since the wheels got a little chewed up on the driveway and road and I'm sure it would scratch up the floors now. It's very durable, has been ridden by people of all sizes, even over 200lbs, and hasn't been a problem. My son is now over 5 feet tall so he has to bend his knees up a bit, but it's worth it to keep driving. A good purchase for us, years of fun.

Well built, easy assembly and super FUN for all ages!!!

I got this for my nephew who's just turned 4 years old he loves this thing now that he finally gets out a use it me myself I am actually 220 pounds and I got on this thing and it did work inside on a hardwood floor with the polyurethane wheels the set the plastic crapy wheels that were sent with definitely need to get the polyurethane wheels if you're going to buy this I don't know why it's not originally made that way but that's probly how they get the extra 30 to $40 from yeah but all in all it's a great product the original plasma car at least don't like that it's made in China but that's pretty much everything in our life these days other than that it was a great toy and a great buy and would deftly get again for another niece or nephew. Its does turn easy out on the road in our Coaldsack or go fast unless ur going down hill. Lucky my nanas property has the perfect slight hill and works perfect

Ya tenía uno rojo y ahora compré el verde , súper divertido para grandes y chicos. A este le voy a comprar las ruedas de poliuretano porq tienen mejor tracción q estas ruedas de plástico .

My son is now 8 and has had his plasma car since he was two! It is still in mint condition and let me tell you he plays hard lol. I think this is one of the things I would recommend for any kid at any age under 12. Absolutely worth the money.

The product had to be reordered but eventually it got here and it's nice

My sons loves this thing!!!! So does his parents hahaha. Its actually so fun. We literally just rip it around the kitchen and living room for no joke 30 mins at a time. This thing can fly. Strong enough to hold me and my son (I'm about 190lbs and he's like 20lbs). Simple to build too. It comes with the tools you need. It says to use a rubber mallet, but you can just hit it, or use a regular hammer. That's what i did and no damage was done.

Quality is fine, grandson finds it too much work for the amount of fun
