ABSTRACT:
A child's ride-on vehicle including a body portion configured to carry a child rider and at least three wheels mounted to the body portion and configured to allow the body portion to travel. The vehicle also includes a drive system with an electric motor and a battery, the drive system being activatable and connected to at least one of the wheels to rotate the wheel upon activation to thereby cause the vehicle to travel. A primary motor control system is operatively connected to the drive system and configured to allow the child rider to control activation of the drive system. A primary steering system is operatively connected to at least one of the wheels and configured to allow the child rider to selectively steer the vehicle by causing at least one of the wheels to turn relative to at least one other wheel. A secondary steering system is operatively connected to at least one of the wheels and configured to allow a person positioned near but not on the vehicle to selectively steer the vehicle by causing at least one of the wheels to turn relative to at least one other wheel. The vehicle may also include a secondary motor control system operatively connected to the drive system and configured to allow a person positioned near but not on the vehicle to selectively control the activation of the drive system.
