Is the Hikole bumper car worth it?

If you want a spinning bumper-car toy with a parent remote for a 3-5 year old, it fits that job at $159 at Distritech as of November 3. If you want speed or off-road use, look elsewhere.

About 3 km/h, roughly walking pace. That is slow by ride-on standards but appropriate for a bumper car meant to spin and bump.

How long does the battery last and take to charge?

It uses a 12V 4Ah lead-acid battery that charges in 6-10 hours. Expect short run times per charge, so plan on overnight charging.

Hikole lists 37-96 months, so about 3 to 8 years. Younger kids should use the parent remote; older kids near the 66 lb limit will find it small.

Does it work on grass?

It is best on flat, hard surfaces like driveways, patios and indoor floors. Small wheels and a 3 km/h motor will struggle on grass or gravel.

The car, the 12V lead-acid battery and charger, and the parent remote. The remote's 2 AAA batteries are not included.

Our take on the Hikole 12V Kids Bumper Car Ride-On with Parent Remote Control

The Hikole 12V Bumper Car is a ride-on for kids roughly 3 to 8 years old, with a spinning bumper-car body, two motors, and a parent remote for steering when the child is too small to drive alone. It tops out at about 3 km/h (under 2 mph), has a slow-start function to avoid jerking, and carries up to 66 lbs. It uses a 12V 4Ah lead-acid battery with a 6-10 hour charge time, and the remote runs on 2 AAA batteries. Its latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.
