Rollplay White 12 V Nighthawk Powered Ride-On

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment this showed up on our doorstep from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, my kids have been totally wild about this thing. When we unboxed it, it was already fully assembled, and we just needed to plug it in overnight (the waiting was notttt easy; if you're gifting this, I'd recommend charging it in advance). My 10yo mastered it almost immediately and can zip all over the place; my 7yo was eager to use it, but she had a bit more trouble getting balanced. The turning radius is really sharp, and the kids have felt like they have a lot of control with the pedals. It's lightweight and easy to pick up, so my kids have been able to bring it back inside to plug it in to recharge. My only issue is that the flag on the back of it isn't tall enough; I worry that because the ride-on is so low to the ground, that drivers might not always be able to see it. (We set up one of the little "watch for children" signs in our cul de sac when our kids are outside playing with it, but I'd love if it had a much, much taller flag that was unmissable.)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can they make an adult Nighthawk please?! Right out of the box this ride on looked super cool. It was fully assembled, packaged well and ready to go. My five year old couldn't wait to get on! It took about a day of getting used to the "lean to turn" style of riding. This thing is considerably faster than other ride-ons making this fun to watch as well as ride. The battery provides hours of cruising and the motor has a surprising amount of torque. When you push the pedal it gets to full speed instantly and even has enough power to go up hill. The wheels under the wings provide smooth banking turns while the single drive wheel in the rear grips the driveway very well even while banking, like a motorcycle tire. The power and brake pedals are well placed and function well. The only issues with the nighthawk are storage and water that collects under the feet in the foot well. Leaves, water and dirt build up leaving the white paint dirty looking. The nighthawk doesn't stand in any way to save space, but it does slide under the SUV in the garage... just don't forget it's there! We received this product to review from Stellar Testing Panel.
