These ride-on vehicles have adequately powered batteries and speeds that are appropriate for the age mentioned. Over time however, the speed of the ride-on could decrease, or in may even stop working after the battery has run its course. The good thing is that it is easy to replace the battery (and the motor) with a new one, allowing your child to continue to keep enjoying these ride-ons.
