Modified power wheels are a new, somewhat lesser known trend for parents who enjoy the challenge of transforming a standard battery operated ride on toy into something completely customizable. Once you receive your power wheels, it’s absolutely up to you what you can do with it. Whether you are a car lover who wants a new, unique challenge or a bargain hunter who wants to rehab and transform a garage sale heap into something beautiful, modified power wheels are a fun idea for transforming your motorized toys.
Why Buy Power Wheels To Modify Them?
It may seem somewhat strange to purchase a motorized ride on toy and then transform it from the inside out, but not if you’re interested in having a vehicle that reflects your child’s unique personality or your sense of design. Not everyone loves the idea of owning a Barbie pink power wheels, so being able to completely customize your vehicle can be very attractive to some. Some people who purchase a power wheels also don’t love being limited by the standard speed or standard set of features; with a bit of elbow grease and some vision, you might be able to see how that power wheels or Peg Perego can become almost an entirely different vehicle. For bargain hunters, who may want a top-of-the-line vehicle but don’t want to pay for it, modified power wheels are the way to get the vehicle you want while controlling your budget.
What Can You Do To Create Modified Power Wheels?
Pretty much everything is up for change when you create modified power wheels. One of the first things that many people look for is the opportunity to add power and speed to their standard ride on vehicle. Perhaps the change begins with just needing to replace a dead battery with a new one, but that can easily turn into customization that can create speed. Transforming, for example, the types of batteries that the power wheels uses from 6 volt to 12 or by adding a 12 volt to making the power source 18 volts total will certainly add power and speed.
Some people interested in modified power wheels are looking to customize the color and features. Some people are interested in changing the color, so they need some guidance on how to best and most effectively transform the color of a plastic shell. It’s not as easy as it may seem. Other common changes to modified power wheels are the addition of lights and a horn, some fun accessories that can make the adventure much more real for the tiny drivers.
Another one of the popular changes that occur to transform these vehicles into modified power wheels is related to traction. The traction belts that come standard on these vehicles make them excellent on concrete and pavement but don’t offer much leverage in grass, on rocks, or in sand. Customizing these modified power wheels in this way allows them to be safer in the off-roading opportunities that many kids take advantage of—or just on the backyard lawn.
