PlasmaCar The Original by PlaSmart (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.

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!

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

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 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!

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…
