Author: The Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX is ultimate in realistic ATV riding fun that any preschooler could want to experience. Just like a real “adult” ATV it has petty good traction and will perform on wet grass (so long as it is not too wet), mud, gravel as well as in ruff terrain and rutted areas.
It comes with two speeds the slower reaching around 2.5 mph by pressing down on the foot pedal, whilst the faster speed – which is available by using the twist grip throttle and the gas pedal and will have the little terrors zooming round at around 5 mph! There is also reverse.
This is all powered by a rechargeable 12 volt battery. At this point it is worth pointing out that having a back up battery is a great idea so that your little adventurer isn’t made to waste time waiting for his/her Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX to recharge, whilst these are not cheap it is worth while. Investing in the 12 volt fast charger I found was also money well spent.
For younger kids and those just learning, the Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX has a high speed lock out facility keeping the vehicle at the slower speed and therefore adding additional safety and building confidence before stepping up a gear.
Having said all that probably the most important thing to any child is the fact that it looks realistic with its sporty look. Its ability to be ridden almost anywhere will be sure to give hours of fun and adventure for children of all ages. However, with all the rough and tumble which is often involved in such active play a safety helmet may be worth consideration. Whilst this is not strictly essential wearing a cycle helmet will give good protection should there be any falls – you could of course, push the boat out and buy your little monster a motorcycle helmet!
Some product Info.

As you will see from the dimensions the Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX is really suited for use indoors, it is very much an outdoor toy and this is worth considering before you buy – storage should also be considered, although I know of one which has been left outside in pouring rain and it still works perfectly, although it is probably not a good idea for this to happen on a regular basis!
One small issue would be the noise generated by the hard plastic wheels on concrete or other hard surfaces, the up side is that it is possible to buy rubber bands or tyres which will fit over the wheels. Not only will these cut down the noise but they also help improve the already fairly good traction.
Your Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX will have to be assembled when it arrives but this really is not difficult even for those of us who are not particularly good at such tasks, and you do get everything you require in the box.
Over all this is a great fun toy to have around, it appears to be very durable and the charge on the battery lasts for a decent amount of time. Little ones appear to find it straight forward to ride and operate, but some adult supervision especially for younger children is advisable.
