    I got my kids battery vehicles for Christmas this year. My son who is 7 wanted a dirt bike so we found a 24v bike that is super quick, but since out daughter is only 4 and honestly didnt even ask for one, we didnt look as closely into the power and ended up getting a 6v three wheeler that topped out at 1.75 mph. Needless to say, after the initial excitement was gone, she quickly realized it was slow as tar! So I hopped online and found this gem of a video that was just wat the dr ordered. I ordered a 12v battery and after minimal surgery to the chassis, her three wheeler is now up to par. THANK YOU!!!

    We picked up a 12V 9Ah AGM battery from Batteries Plus and the wires and fuse at O'Reilly Auto.

    I converted a 6v 7.5Ah BMW i8 to a 12v 1Ah and it dies out after a couple minutes (assuming due to the breaker). How do I fix this

    • @willpulera7303
      @willpulera7303 3 года назад +1

      I'm positive it is because the 12v battery is only 1AH which is the amount of amp per hour it's rated and if you're using it in a power wheel which consumes way more than that then it is why it burns out quickly. If you get a larger 12v battery with a higher AH rating like 7 or more it should work great.

      www.amazon.co.uk/Licensed-Lamborghini-Aventador-Parental-BML52820/dp/B00HALU7GO that's the link if this helps what model it is I'm not sure how old the battery is because I brought this second hand and they didn't mention ,well my son got in it and I controlled it threw the remote controller because he can't reach the push pedal at the moment and when I go it doesn't seem fast it seems slow and I fully charged it for at least 10-12 hours , do you think getting a new battery for the ride on is worth getting or can I get a 12v motor and 12v battery and sticking it in will make it fast or you think the 6v battery is old damaged that's why it's not going fast

    • @HTMR
      @HTMR  9 лет назад +2

      Aaron Whitlock It should go 3mph which is walking pace. The 6V models are not powerful at all. Might be a good idea to have battery load tested to determine if that is the problem. Or boost it to 12v :)

    • @DadHacks

      It won’t effect the motor immediately, but it will cause it to burn out soon than if you ran it just on a 6v battery. It could also melt the gears in the gearbox. Swapping out gearboxes and motors is easy, see this video if you have questions: ruclips.net/video/5KcoaRCp0y0/видео.html

    Are the wiring not to thin for 12v?

    • @XxTWMLxX
      @XxTWMLxX 2 года назад

      higher the voltage less amps are drawn. so technically. higher voltage thinner wire you can use. if it was built for 6v the wire is least of worries on 12v. most worry is the motor windings coating burning off over time from heat. dc motors are forgiving though. 6v motor can run on up to 24v without much issue.
