Among various types of gift, thinking about one ideal present for your sisters or children would be a hard thing when it is coming to their birthday party or Christmas occasions. When wandering through online websites and recommendations of relatives, you can pick one from those products such as a quad, an adorable barbie or some electric power wheel. Mentioning about Power Wheels, they are considered as the small car operates by electricity that small children often ride along the sidewalk.

Unfortunately, it would be better if parents purchase the power wheels from a small sale because children tend to quit their riding process after a short period of time. For some parents, they will sell it to others or one next garage sale. In contrast, some tend to find the way for speeding it up. And if you are seeking for those useful methods, keep reading !

In fact, 6 volt DC battery is the common source of electricity produced for most wheels run on power. And it is obvious that when individuals increase the amount of voltage, car or wheels are more likely to operate faster and faster. So, to boost the productivity, all you have to do is provide more volts to this electric motor.

With a variety of ways suggested on the internet, there are two basic methods which are simple and easy to do including:

1. Switch the 6 volt battery and replace it for another appears with 12 volt.
2. As in this article, just keep all the battery and add one more 6 volt into your wheel system (obviously it would give you more power compared to the method mentioned above).

Let’s follow all the steps below:

As you can see from the electric car above, when taking off the seat, it would have one system of wire and controller for you to make changes. Here includes the electric motor, the connectors, the huge seat of battery and wire pair follows throughout the whole product.

Since this way is to add more battery with the 6-volt capacity. (It is necessary to purchase two matching of battery if your old one has been used for a long period of time. As we all knew, combine between a new and an old one is less likely to bring along the productive result of your process).

Find a good location for your additional battery. To replace a new one, then it is important to snip off the connectors which connect to your battery and the one that provides power to your motor. Remember to cut one wire then another in respectively to prevent being smashed by the electricity.

Since the connection between wires is different in term of size and construction, you can consider strip the wire ends to make them fit together.

If this is your wheel, then its great because you all know how to do with your cars. But if this is your daughter’s, letting her participate in the changing process also helps individuals know more about the operations of their vehicles.

One of the important things is to purchase the right insulated connectors. According to some researches, parents do not pay much attention when buying which can lead to the dead short for small individuals.

In terms of wire dimension, purchase the appropriate size such as the 12-10 AWG. We use this size for the car in this instruction.

For the new connectors, remember to crimp on and connect your battery to the right polarity. It is important to stick with the similar gender and keep one among those polarities insulated from others.

After this, this is the time to change the polarity for providing electricity into your motor. For those who still have not learn how to match the correct polarity between connectors, you can use the DC voltmeter instead.

Also, we offer a diagram for you to find it easier when organizing the wire system. Check the picture below!

Things you need to remember:

• Retire the tires. For individuals who have not known. Electric vehicles designed with plastic wheel, which means the traction is too large to offer great speed when driving. After a long period time using, changing your tires is also a great idea.

• Similar to when you have purchased the new smartphone, new batteries require fully-charged for the first time after you have installed.

• Use the zip ties and one small foam pad to secure and maintain the protection for your children when riding.

• When driving with the electric vehicles, it is better if you choose the hard and flat surface for learning all the skills. Commonly, small children often choose grass, and they do not know grass is one type of terrains that can make your tire wear out significantly.

Driving an electric car or bicycle is now very common to individuals since parents always want their children to spend time outdoors and learn various social skills. But when the child is getting bored with slow pace of operation, then this is the time for parents to add new batteries inside the vehicle. From this article, hopefully, you now have a general knowledge for changing the battery and boost up the speed of your child’s car.
