Grave Digger Power Wheels – Kids 12v Ride On Monster Truck
Today we are talking about monster trucks. Monster trucks are modified pickup trucks with larger suspension and large tires. Primarily they are used for sport and recreation.
There are multiple different types of monster trucks UTV, ATV AND SUV. UTV stands for “utility task vehicle” and they are usually two-seaters with cargo boxes and no doors. ATV is an “all-terrain vehicle” which can perform well on different terrains and have one seat along with no doors. SUV are sport themed trucks especially made for competitions.
The most popular and iconic monster truck is definitely known as “Gravedigger” which is featured in a series called “Field entertainment monster jam”.
Some models of monster truck power wheels have two motors powering rear wheels which mean that each is powered by one. It means that the battery is going to drain sooner but they can drive on uneven terrain easier than toys with only one motor.
Some Grave Digger power wheels have a single battery while others have multiple batteries. More Volts means that the toy will have an easier time driving on different terrains along with achieving higher speeds.
The most powerful model we have chosen has a 36V battery and an impressive speed of 15.5 mph compared to the 6V models which are able to reach the speed of up to 2.5mph. But the more powerful model is better for older children while 12V and 6V models are definitely more suitable for toddlers.
The less powerful monster truck power wheels might struggle on some terrains while the 36V toys will have no problem with overcoming challenges. These toys are ideal if you are looking for toys that are easy to drive outside. All of them will give your child a realistic feel while driving since they are operated by steering wheel and pedals.
Some even have fun features like water bazookas for playing in the summer heat or shovel for playing in the sand. We have chosen five different models of monster truck power wheels with different features to fit everyone’s taste.
