Modifying a 12V Power Wheels to run on 4V, 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V. Is it possible? Let's find out. Warning: Wheelie, drifting, sliding, donuts... and lots of smoke!
Best dad ever: kid having fun with head protection. You don't hear him yelling: "Slow down! Careful! Watch out!" He doesn't need to beacuse he already took care of safety and the kid feels confident. Nice.
You’re a great dad thanks for making this video! I have ordered my nephew a power wheels for his 4th birthday and I plan to modify and upgrade it as he grows so it he can still have great fun with it for years to come. Thanks again and I like that you have your child wearing a helmet as safety is first!
You got one crystal ball right there Andy! That's exactly what I do every day salvaging one 18650 at a time. I should have enough to run the Tesla by the time he reaches 16! :D
Top notch Dad. Thanks for the video I’ve been looking to try to do that from my little boys power wheels. We have about five different power wheels models around here.
Low gear on 48v is same as second on 24 lol. All the gear box does is alter series vs parallel to the motors. Also both motors alway get power. The left motor on low get power first and what ever power is left over then goes to the right wheel. When weighted this is typically 60/40 to 50/50. Reverse works the same but reverse going to right then left. When in high gear it sends full power to both independently. In high they are both getting max voltage and drawing max current. In stock 550 motors the best power choice is 18v lithium no controller. Throw in some 775 motors and you can run 36 with 500w controller or 24b wo controller all day. The weak link then will be the gear boxes. Having a variable speed pedal or even a simple on dash potentiometer to dial up when moving or gradually flow down or better using a brake reduction controller will save the gear boxes. The Jeep isn’t really the best platform for this cause if the high center of gravity. If you really want to have some fun.. Use a best choice 12v vehicle and swap in the gear boxes from the fisher price. The best choice gears run at 8500rpm and the fisher price 7r boxs run you to 30k rpm. You can hit a best choice vehicle with power wheels gear box on factory motor with 24v and hit 20mph lol It’s actually about the best all around setup. I’m about to get my one son a gas powered atv and my 2yo is ready for a full size vehicle his own. I’m going to get him the best products Jeep throw in the gears and from his brothers dune racer I’ve already got running on 36v and see if I can’t get her to spin up to 22-25mph before I swap over the 775 motors and leave it at 24v. Idk how people are getting past 24v in factory 550’s though. I hit them with 36 and they fry instantly. Starting in first for 18v then you to speed hit second in the fly and it will stop dead every time when hit by 36. Anyone with toddler 6v vehicles you can hit them with 18v power tool lithium’s ass day and not hit them for some reason those 330 motors although less powerful disparate heat much better then the 550’s do. 36v wo controller for me has been a no go every which way I’ve tried it so far. I’m shocked you got 48v to even work for 2min tbh.. that said my kids vehicles at 18v run like this run does at 48 so I’m thinking that controller is taking a lot away from the motors. You also have to be carful when exceeding 18v cause around the 40amp mark that factory pedal can’t take the current and can weld itself wide open. I’ve not seen or heard of this happening when using a 40amp in-line fuse or a controller. But I would not suggest anyone run more then 18v wo a fuse on any ride on vehicle. And with that not last a 40amp unless you put in a kill switch. 775’s with heat sinks, cpu cooling fans, break reduction and potentiometer of some sort wether in the pedal or manually controlled and you can hit these things with 36v all day wo a controller and run 15-20mph depending on the gear box ratio. The dune racer even at 36v has more traction the the plastic tires then even most factory 12v setups. This Jeep is dumb.. can’t even turn at just 18v. I’ve yet to have reason to put traction aids on the dune racer tires (which will destroy the gears much more often) might just break down and throw in an electric scooter motor and axle to get wide of those plastic gears and see what can be done with a chain and sprocket setup. If see 40mph on 48v from others this way when you no longer have plastic gears to worry about.
You clearly have more experience, knowledge, don't put this creator down. Im in the early stages but want to replace motors, gearbox, pedal, but want a high and low gear, for going up our steep woodchip back yard. Are you aware of gearboxes where i could switch to a lower rpm and more torque? I also want to add a little metal frame to be able to mount things to, allow me (170#) to ride it. Most people doing anything close are basically building quads/go carts and putting a shell on top. Any experience with adding a frame?
Awesome video and fun. Good job dad! When I was about the age of this kid (1958) my dad gave me metal hoop and a stick and said go have fun just like I did when I was a kid.
Been running 18 volts on a 6 volt motor. They are actually rated to handle 18 volts no more from research. Motor said 6-18 volts to. So just put in a cheap 18 volt drill motor from harbor freight that has the power cable thar connects directly to the battery to charge it.

@@scorpioslab yep been using them for over a year.
Other races make our English language seem fun to learn!! Us original English speakers make it irritating 😂 Nice Video! Can't wait to upgrade my power wheels 🙏
My sons jeep doesn't want to work on high speed only low and reverse it shuts down after a second or 2 under load. Any ideas why? I'm using a 18v ryobi. The only thing I can think of is a thermal fuse but not sure
Awesome video, I was gonna do the 48 volt to my granddaughters 12 volt Polaris quad. Do you think I should just do 24volt and not do 48volt because it's too much power for the motors? Do you think 24volts is good
I’m not the guy who made the video but I’ve just added one 18v 4.0ah Milwaukee battery to my nephews car and it is plenty fast enough! You want to make it have useable power or else it will wheelie/flip over with the kid in it and that’s very dangerous. Even at 18v the car wheel spins and wheelies a lot which is wasting the power and isn’t very safe. Great fun though on grass.
Do you have the wiring schematic for the controller and the pedal? I am using ECS kit for my kids power wheels but your video is also worth a try. When you use your 24v lithium battery for this, did you measure how long the car can run before running out of battery? I assume you have either 4AH or 6AH for this experiment right? And also, how hot the the motors after the ride is over? I assume this is at low speed and not high speed then for the ride?
I don't have the wiring schematics for this. But it's basically quite simple. The pedal has 3 pins (red, black, yellow) and it goes to the 3 pins on the controller. Power from the battery goes to the red and black cable on the controller. There's a yellow and blue cable on the controller and that goes to the motor. The pedal on the power wheel has to be pushed down and I used a zip tie to tie it down. And that's pretty much it.
Buy some small bicycle tires to stretch over the plastic wheels and put a couple screws in them to hold them on. The rubber will give you amazing grip over the plastic.
The motor will burn out as it’s not rated for 36v, it’s for 12v. You can replace the motor with a 24v kit, as power wheels do come in 24v; so use that as a replacement part and step down the 36v to 24v with DC to DC step down converter. This will prevent the motor burning 🔥! Or use a 24v with a 24v power well kit, and don’t need controller or dc to dc converter; cheaper mod setup too!
I would like to point out that every dead power wheels battery can be harvested for its connection. Peel off the top carefully with a flat head screw driver and cit as much wire off as you can and voila! A new detachable connection for the new battery...
This has to be what my dad did to mine. Mine was always so fast and I never realized that they were typically slow till I got older. I'll have to ask him how he made mine so fast.
I have about the same car it’s a jeep wrangler and upgrade to 24v, the tires keep spinning hard to get a grip on the road. Planing on to get bike tires and install onto the car tires for the grip. That’s the thing I hate about power wheels, it’s all plastic tires. That 24v at 5:49 battery is the one I have installed. The keep wrangler I have is a 2 seater. But bigger and heavier. Still seen it do wheelie on it with the 24v
Wait you should have a lower speed and faster speed and reverse if you unscrew the screw blocking the fast gear it looks like you took it out. Why don't you put a 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker in by the batteries
He won't get pissed at his son for getting the ticket. He'll get pissed at the car for not getting his son out fast enough, then upgrade said car with new batteries and stuff. :D
I bought a car for my son who uses a 6V motor. I just want to increase the strength of the car a little bit, since he is 3 years old and runs extremely slowly. what I need to do?
That motor will burn out, more slowly for a brushless. it should be going faster than that with 48v so either it's being limited or the motor can't handle more.
I made one of these with 2 hub motors on the back and 2 mini quad wheels on the front run 60v 35ah lg battery on the back its a little beast clocked at 36mph kids don't use it but this big kid right here does 😂😂😂😂😂😂
When in 48v to get it to go faster install rubber band around the two rear wheels to enable it to have full grip and to then reduce the wheel spins which loose the speed
I modified my sons tractor today (peg perego) to run on 20v lithium battery. I also have a 40v lithium battery. The input wire has a fuse on the negative side, I know nothing about electronics, but I've read the fuse helps. Anyway, will the 40V blow the motor you think? zazookids.com/products/peg-perego-john-deere-ground-force-tractor-with-trailer?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5Y-Ksumu6QIVNQnnCh14sAZLEAQYASABEgJxX_D_BwE
In drag racing, excessive wheelie-ing is cured with more weight at the front of the vehicle. The old school guys would fill their front bumper with lead!
Yep. It used to have a lead acid battery on the front. Now the lead is gone, time for some wheelies! It's more fun driving around in 2 hind wheels, though! :D
Can use pedal bike tyres over the original plastic ones so it grips better but will transfer the stress to the plastic gears so they should be upgraded to metal gears
when 1 motor burns out you will have no low or reverse make low and reverse the motors are run in series that's how they cut the voltage and make it low speed highest parallel circuit
ha...………...only joking......you do say sometimes on your vids, 'no smoke,thats good'....so surely you have to say your not entirely sure whats going to happen when you plug a project together for the first time?....anyway its great to watch.looking forward to next vid.....can you do one on robotics. id like a robotic cat.
those motors are rated from 5 volts to 24 volts anything else will burn them up ...so your 48 volt works but in low gear which is 24 volts maxed out on the motors thats why they burn up going over the voltage....but you will get a longer run time that way just dont put it on 48 volt gear.
You can run 5s 50 C li po or 6s 18650 li on 30C.....without burning out the stock motor or plastic gears ( you will go through wheels)..You can use floor trim vinyl ( $2.50)...glue N screw to black wheels...it's just so the kids can do power slide and donuts...You dont really want the rear wheels to grip....grip... that's what prevent the plastic gears from striping.... I live in a collar sack too....it's like a little bumper car arena for the kids. You dont really want them going over 10 mph...They're just kids. It;s cheap and easy...and safe. The cars has more than enough power with 5s lipo ( 550 motors are cheap $10...or you can get them out of old portable vacumm at yard sales, thrift stores...ect for $2...ect. If they crap out ( you could get another use power wheels for $50) or purchase metal gears for $50 -ea...$80 total. OR....get a 1000 WATT 36v-48V brushed more for $75 ( esc and pedal included) Or look for used TREAD Mills for $25...There's a BIG DC BRUSHED Motor in them..500watt at 36 v will be more than plenty for the kiddies.lol 36v-48v controller is only $15.... If you're a cheap bastard like me...You can find used electric wheel chairs for FREE or $25...there's 2-ea 200WATT- 350watt dc motors in them.. It'll take 36V.... You can get 10" wheels at harbor frieght for $5 will fit it. You could mess with the gear box...use sprockets from $5 thrift stores kiddies bike to gear it back up...( wheel chair are gear to do only 5-6 mph) 350watt at 24V-36V will more than plenty or 5-7 year old. Mount the crank sprocket to gearbox out put shaft... then mount rear sprocket to a shaft or rear wheel hub. It'll bring it back up to 10-12 mph. Wheel chair motor has auto Brakes..They just need to be activate through a 12-24 power source Or you can get 350 watt brushed scooter....get rear sprocket and chain...for razor e-100- 300...ect For the older kids 15-18 mph.....They Need BRAKES and helmets. You want to keep it under 20 mph....it'll go over 20mph..depending how you gear it. The kids are light..... So nieghbours wont freak out. The kids wont really hurt themsevles...they''ll know how to drive better than most adults...The helmets are mostly for SHOW so other adults wont freak out...when the kids are driving around the block.. ect..You'll need a bike or electric scooter to keep up with the kids. You have to go supervise them...mostly so other adults dont freak out.lmao The 1000 watts brushed will pull them easy Not great for power slide due to real go kart tires).. but great for driving to park....in grass, up hill....ect I did it to a 2 seater Porches..36V-40V is plenty for them on a 1000Watt motor. use the WHEEL HUBS from wheel chairs.....so you can do LIVE axil. 4-ea....hubs....1 for sprocket...1 for dis brakes ( or you can just purchase go kart live axil kits) You can use 13" wheels fro harbor freight...remove center bearings drill bolt pattern to fit wheel HUB..for the 13" wheels. You can also wack wheels...use it as FLANGE beaings ( for the axil) to mount to the power wheels body....or you can get pillow block bearings....from industrial bearings supply. Or....you can WACK a black and decker LAWN EDGER.. There's METAL GEARS in it...already.lol
(Brasil) - acompanho seu canal e não sei falar english. Fiz minha bateria com sua ajuda (Brazil) - I'm following your channel. and I do not know how to speak english I made my battery with your help.
Plastic tire no good .... cut strips of bicycle tires out and screw it to the tires. Making a strip of rubber on each tire.. better traction for back tires and better steering for front tires. A two in strip of rubber makes big difference
@@savagesock3598 no.. you only put three or four screws in it.. to hold it on.. trust me..just try it and you will see how much it helps it get traction.

How many volt stock motor can handle?

Wouldn't this burn up the motor? Running 48v to a 12v motor?
Those are not stock motors are they?
No need for a Dremel to remove the wheels! Put a wrench on both axle nuts, hold one end in place, turn the other end.
You should hook up two 48 volt electric chainsaw motors. If it doesn't break the body out would be fun
He's making donuts 😂🙌
When he gets older he will be wearing out tyres lol
I tried hooking up a 20v 4ah drill battery to a 6v power wheel and the positive wire started to smoke when I'd give it gas. Tires wouldn't move either
You can guess why.... Right?
My kid has a speed controller and it run on 12v ... what does it need to modify it to 24 or 36 .. BTW it's 4 WD
using a power tool battery is pretty cool. if u can find them cheap.

When in 48v to get it to go faster install rubber band around the two rear wheels to enable it to have full grip and to then reduce the wheel spins which loose the speed
KickBack&Crack PC And it will break the gears.
I modified my sons tractor today (peg perego) to run on 20v lithium battery. I also have a 40v lithium battery. The input wire has a fuse on the negative side, I know nothing about electronics, but I've read the fuse helps. Anyway, will the 40V blow the motor you think? zazookids.com/products/peg-perego-john-deere-ground-force-tractor-with-trailer?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5Y-Ksumu6QIVNQnnCh14sAZLEAQYASABEgJxX_D_BwE
@@Louse76 if you haven't installed metal gearing then yes.
is this chen young that used to work for Pied Piper
In drag racing, excessive wheelie-ing is cured with more weight at the front of the vehicle. The old school guys would fill their front bumper with lead!
Yep. It used to have a lead acid battery on the front. Now the lead is gone, time for some wheelies! It's more fun driving around in 2 hind wheels, though! :D
@@vuaeco I bet it is! It's nice to see you have a sort of second childhood as a dad. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely. I grew up without any of these stuffs. So this is kind of making up for it! :D
@@vuaeco Same, brother. Enjoy it. You deserve it.
Needs 2x 8turn or 10turn motors
what motor for 48v
same motor on toy
mdxsport acura 775 motors
Is it safe to run 48v on stock power wheels?
You just saw the motor brushes arc and break apart, so maybe
Somebody is going to need some new tires, SOON!
An opportunity to upgrade to wood! LOL
Needs a roll cage too
@@martinvu8395 PVC or ABS? :-)
Can use pedal bike tyres over the original plastic ones so it grips better but will transfer the stress to the plastic gears so they should be upgraded to metal gears
when 1 motor burns out you will have no low or reverse make low and reverse the motors are run in series that's how they cut the voltage and make it low speed highest parallel circuit
One back wheel spinning in wrong direction ...making donuts way easier... one of my late freinds did it when rewiring power wheel...
ha...………...only joking......you do say sometimes on your vids, 'no smoke,thats good'....so surely you have to say your not entirely sure whats going to happen when you plug a project together for the first time?....anyway its great to watch.looking forward to next vid.....can you do one on robotics. id like a robotic cat.
RPM?....
List the parts :)
those motors are rated from 5 volts to 24 volts anything else will burn them up ...so your 48 volt works but in low gear which is 24 volts maxed out on the motors thats why they burn up going over the voltage....but you will get a longer run time that way just dont put it on 48 volt gear.
"So much Torque, it twisted the entire chassis". Isn't that what that bald dude said in fast and the furious?
Vapletrichs Gne yes don did to Brian Lol
How old was ur kid ?
Make sure you do your connection correct so nothing go wong
Get sum rubber wheels for more traction u gain a little speed
Grip tape on the wheels for traction
Also the motor has a funny smell 🤔🤔🤔
Put some bricks in the front trunk or move to motors to fwd
We were thinking of doing AN AWD build for my nephew :)
775 MOTORS ARE EASY TO GET AND REPLACE, THAT IS A PAIR OF 775 12V MOTORS, JUST SAYING OLD FRIEND, OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T RETIRED NAVY
Understear joined the chat
the spelling in this video is seriously funny hahahahahahahah
"spelling". Not sure who's funnier.
Don’t go pass 20v after 20v it will melt the board or the motors if u want longer life and it’s still fast for the kidz
We're gonna show you just dont try it lol, Tokyo drift power wheel edition
Can you do a tutorial. Please?
You can run 5s 50 C li po or 6s 18650 li on 30C.....without burning out the stock motor or plastic gears ( you will go through wheels)..You can use floor trim vinyl ( $2.50)...glue N screw to black wheels...it's just so the kids can do power slide
and donuts...You dont really want the rear wheels to grip....grip...
that's what prevent the plastic gears from striping....
I live in a collar sack too....it's like a little bumper car arena for the kids.
You dont really want them going over 10 mph...They're just kids.
It;s cheap and easy...and safe. The cars has more than enough power
with 5s lipo ( 550 motors are cheap $10...or you can get them out of old
portable vacumm at yard sales, thrift stores...ect for $2...ect.
If they crap out ( you could get another use power wheels for $50)
or purchase metal gears for $50 -ea...$80 total.
OR....get a 1000 WATT 36v-48V brushed more for $75 ( esc and pedal included)
Or look for used TREAD Mills for $25...There's a BIG DC BRUSHED Motor in them..500watt at 36 v will be more than plenty for the kiddies.lol
36v-48v controller is only $15....
If you're a cheap bastard like me...You can find used electric wheel chairs
for FREE or $25...there's 2-ea 200WATT- 350watt dc motors in them..
It'll take 36V....
You can get 10" wheels at harbor frieght for $5 will fit it.
You could mess with the gear box...use sprockets from $5 thrift stores
kiddies bike to gear it back up...( wheel chair are gear to do only 5-6 mph)
350watt at 24V-36V will more than plenty or 5-7 year old.
Mount the crank sprocket to gearbox out put shaft...
then mount rear sprocket to a shaft or rear wheel hub.
It'll bring it back up to 10-12 mph.
Wheel chair motor has auto Brakes..They just need to be activate
through a 12-24 power source
Or you can get 350 watt brushed scooter....get rear sprocket and
chain...for razor e-100- 300...ect
For the older kids 15-18 mph.....They Need BRAKES and helmets.
You want to keep it under 20 mph....it'll go over 20mph..depending how
you gear it. The kids are light.....
So nieghbours wont freak out. The kids wont really hurt themsevles...they''ll know how to drive better than most adults...The helmets are mostly for SHOW
so other adults wont freak out...when the kids are driving around the block..
ect..You'll need a bike or electric scooter to keep up with the kids.
You have to go supervise them...mostly so other adults dont freak out.lmao
The 1000 watts brushed will pull them easy
Not great for power slide due to real go kart tires)..
but great for driving to park....in grass, up hill....ect
I did it to a 2 seater Porches..36V-40V is plenty for them on a 1000Watt motor.
use the WHEEL HUBS from wheel chairs.....so you can do LIVE axil.
4-ea....hubs....1 for sprocket...1 for dis brakes ( or you can just purchase go kart
live axil kits)
You can use 13" wheels fro harbor freight...remove center bearings
drill bolt pattern to fit wheel HUB..for the 13" wheels.
You can also wack wheels...use it as FLANGE beaings ( for the axil)
to mount to the power wheels body....or you can get pillow block
bearings....from industrial bearings supply.
Or....you can WACK a black and decker LAWN EDGER..
There's METAL GEARS in it...already.lol
@@oneeyemonster3262 bold of you to assume we "need" brakes. We are a send it kind of family.

Plastic tire no good .... cut strips of bicycle tires out and screw it to the tires. Making a strip of rubber on each tire.. better traction for back tires and better steering for front tires. A two in strip of rubber makes big difference
Wouldn't the screws make it slide on pavement?
@@savagesock3598 no.. you only put three or four screws in it.. to hold it on.. trust me..just try it and you will see how much it helps it get traction.
