This is a project I built for my Grandson and he outgrew. Starting life as a Barbie Jeep (originally pink) everything but the body was discarded. The frame is 1" fabricated square tubing fully mig welded and very sturdy. Tires are pneumatic with steel rims and HD tubes. I purchased a new Pride scooter and used the electronics and drive axle assembly along with the front axle. A lot of hours building this but it was well worth it as he got a lot of use out of it. Unlike the junk made by "power wheels" from Wal Mart this is very off driveway friendly. I have a 9 acre yard and he rode it all over. Average run time on a charge is 8 hours. It will go up hills and has quite a bit of power that is adjustable. The electrical system is 24V and takes 2 12-18 AH batteries which are new. Has forward and reverse which are both controlled by one foot pedal. Bright LED lights front and rear. Has LED battery charge gauge along with speed control switch and horn. Rear axle has a neutral lever so it can be pushed if needed. This little Jeep has a tab hitch and will pull a small trailer. I just dis assembled it completely and installed new inner tubes and replaced the throttle pot and speed pot. I also have extra now ones that come with it but doubt you will ever need them. Drive axle assembly is rated at 350 lbs so a little kid will never wear it out. Paint is new. This a very cool toy for a little boy or girl that will last forever. Batteries are cheap and readily available. Comes with charger and manual that I put together for simple use and maintenance. I am a certified Pride Technician for the VA. Located in South Central Illinois. $1000 buys it. Photos too large to post here. Link below. https://imgur.com/a/HVMhXSW

Any idea of approximate weight? And what zip code are you in so I can look into shipping? I know you said 1/4 size but can you give numbers on H, W, L?
Internet analysis: 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact Fools & fanatics are always so certain and wise people are always so questioning ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/lyarIYom.jpg)

I prefer classic.

I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
