 very happy 4 year old Jun 11, 2010
Machine was truck and trailer delivered on time.
I read the instruction one time through and matched up the parts and concepts, assembly was simple.
For me, putting all the stickers on took longer than assembly.
My 4 year old really enjoys this 4 Wheeler and the battery life for his 44lbs (give or take) lasts most of the day,
over hilly grass and the paved driveway. This unit has two peddle speed selections. For my son, driving anything was a new experience and I would recommend that you keep the peddle set on low speed.
After 2 months we moved to high speed and that really impressed him.
Much faster than I envisioned. Parents will definitely want to keep other kids away as this machine flies in top speed.
My policy is helmet must be worn in high speed, yes it is that fast. The machine can easily support two people.
Looks like a good product that will last. If you have the space I recommend this toy. But, your lawn is going to have a worn track around the house in about 4 weeks!

Great but not as durable as I would like May 18, 2010
We have owned Peg Perego and Fisher Price - all 12 volt batteries. This was our first 24-volt purchase. We purchased this one in April and received it at the end of April. It did take some time for shipping (2 weeks if I remember correctly), so if you are ordering for a specific date, keep that in mind. My intention in buying this product was to give my 5 yo son a vehicle to drive since his 8 yo brother can drive our real quad. I also wanted to encourage his independence since he has slight cerebral palsy - doing things for himself is invaluable. He has really taken to driving it and is very good about manuevering around everything. Reverse and the foot pedal have easy for him to use.
PROS:
First I'll start out by saying that my 5 year old is the primary one who rides this quad. He is a lightweight (about 4 lbs#, so the battery runs all day. His bigger #about 80 lbs# brother can ride it too with shorter battery life. I've ridden it too and I weigh about 130. I don't think the battery would work long, but it handled me just fine. AW, my 5 yo son loves, loves it. The happiness on his face is worth a lot. The extra speed #7 mph) is much more fun than the typical 5 mph, and my 5 yo can maneuver just fine. We won't go back to a 12 volt now.
CONS:
That being said, I do have some complaints. Building it wasn't the easiest experience mainly because the directions did not indicate which screw to use where. That led me to removing a few and replacing them with a different one...until I needed it somewhere else. Everything else was fairly easy to follow.
Another thing is the durability. The first day of riding, the flag broke, which made my 5 yo cry until I told him he had a flag to play with. Within the first week, a tab on the front grill broke, the red seat fastener came off and a tab on the front cover at the hand grips broke, making it hard for the cover to stay on as well. Now we do have two boys, and I'm sure that had something to do with it. However, it would be nice if the frills on these toys were built to handle some roughness because it is an outdoor, fun toy that is to be thoroughly played with. It still looks good, but I have had to rig things to stay on or just take it off completely. I just hope the rest of it stays together so that my little one can get a few years of fun and I can get the money's worth from it!
CONCLUSION:
Knowing what I know, if I had the choice, I'd buy it again, but definitely not at full price! I think I'd be sick if I had paid over $600 for it. If we do need to have it worked on, then we will have to travel to a city

twinmom Feb 16, 2010
My son outgrew the smaller trucks, so we found this one. He and his younger brother love it. Sometimes I even ride it. It's a lot of fun.

 ridden twice and its broken Feb 13, 2010
My boys used it twice before it broke(will only go in slow speed). The closest repair shop is 2 1/2 hours away.Also it will not carry a 3 and 6 year old(well under the weight limit) keeps cutting off. I bought them a peg perego gator 3 years ago and it has been great. I am very dissapointed.

DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON-NO WARRANTY Feb 04, 2010
This toy was great for the first 5 rides. Although it is a typical cheaply made battery operated toy, I felt it was safer than a gas powered childs size 50cc ATV. Long story short, it broke, wont run, even though battery says fully charged. Mind you I have had it less than a month! My child is less than 50 pounds, and never "pounded" on it at ALL!
Called the company Peg Perego, and they just informed me since I bought through Amazon.com there is NO WARRANTY! I am furious. Amazon never disclosed this! I assumed(shame on me) it would have a year warranty as the manufacturer states. So now I am stuck with a brand new, non-operational made in China piece of $500- crap. Way to ruin Christmas Amazon
