Are 24V Ride-On Cars Really Faster Than 12V Ones?

Are 24V Ride-On Cars Really Faster Than 12V Ones?

When comparing 12V and 24V ride-on cars, it’s crucial to understand the technical fundamentals behind the difference in voltage and how it impacts performance. The short answer is yes, 24V ride-on cars are generally faster, but there are several reasons why this is the case.

What Makes a 24V Ride-On Car Faster?

It all comes down to power. A 24-volt ride-on car has more power than a 12-volt model, thanks to its higher voltage battery. This extra power can make the car go faster or help it move more easily over bumpy ground, like grass or dirt.

Think of it like this: the more power the car has, the better it performs. A 24V ride-on car can use that power for either speed or strength (torque). So, while all 24V cars are generally faster than 12V, some focus on giving a smooth, fast ride, and others use their power to handle rougher terrain.

Speed vs. Tough Terrain

  • Faster Rides: Some 24V cars, like the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, are built for speed. They zoom across flat surfaces and can even drift, giving kids an exciting ride.

  • Tougher Terrain: Other 24V cars, such as the 6 Wheel UTV 24V, are designed to handle bumps, hills, and different surfaces. With more power, these cars can carry an adult and keep moving through rougher areas that a 12V car might struggle with.

Longer Playtime

One of the best things about 24V ride-on cars is that they’re more efficient. This means they can run longer on a single charge, giving your kids more time to play without needing to stop and recharge.

Better Performance with Extra Motors

Some 24V ride-on cars also come with extra motors. This boosts the car’s power even more and gives it four-wheel drive (like a real off-road car), making it easier to handle rough surfaces like gravel or sand.

What About the Price?

While 24V ride-on cars are faster and more powerful, they also tend to be more expensive than 12V models. However, the added performance, longer playtime, and ability to handle rough terrain often make the extra cost worth it for families looking for durability and a better experience.

Why Choose a 24V Ride-On Car?

In short, if you want a car that’s faster, stronger, and lasts longer, a 24V ride-on car is a better choice than a 12V model. Whether your child wants to race or take on outdoor adventures, we offer a variety of 24V ride-on cars, but if you feel it can be too much power for your child, start with our 12V ride on-cars collection.
