ABSTRACT:
A child's battery-operated ride-on toy vehicle includes a frame having at least three equal diameter wheels rotatively mounted to the frame at opposite sides thereof. The wheels at the front and/or rear of the vehicle at opposite sides of the vehicle are driven by a pair of independently operated relatively small DC electric motors. The wheels at the middle of the vehicle are not driven, but idle. The vehicle includes an onboard battery which is connected to the motors by way of a joystick control so that the vehicle occupant, by manipulating the joystick, can apply a battery voltage of either polarity to the motors so that the vehicle moves forward or in reverse or revolves in either direction on the spot. Due to the presence of the idler wheels, the vehicle can maneuver on all types of surfaces including rugs and carpeting without slipping or stalling.
