Title: Electric neighborhood cruiser
Post by: Ryan on March 22, 2012, 11:37:03 AM: My kids needs something bigger than the Powerwheels for cruising the hood. Any suggestions.

Must be electric, and able to drive on grass.
Must be able to fit 2 kids
Roll cage would be nice

SUggestions so far, buy an electric golf cart, take out the drivetrain and build a chassis for it all to go into.

I would have loved a go-kart when I was a child. They like driving around the neighborhood in the Jeep now, just need something faster, and bigger.

Last night put the fresh battery in Lukas hot wheels KX and Kasey wants to learn to ride the mini bike this weekend. I want them to have everything I had or wanted at half the age, just not sure if I am doing it right. :-\
