Comparison Peg Perego Polaris Ranger RZR 900 vs Peg Perego Polaris Ranger RZR

The maximum speed that the car can develop under normal conditions is on a flat road with good coverage.

This indicator is directly related to the age category: the older the child, the more speed he needs. So, models for babies under 3 years old usually go no faster than 4 – 5 km/h — this ensures safety and allows the parent to keep up with the machine without any problems; and some teenage ATVs(age category from 7 to 8 years old) are capable of accelerating to 30 km/h or even more.

There are cars with speed limiters to make driving safer; see "Options" for details.

— Remote control. Possibility of remote control of the car from a separate remote control. This function is usually found in models for the smallest and caring parents will surely appreciate it: the remote control allows dad or mom to play the role of an instructor, monitor the movement of the baby and intervene in time to protect him from unpleasant collisions. Or, if the child does not want to drive the car himself, you can take control and let him enjoy the ride.

— Smooth start of the engine. A function that allows the machine to smoothly pick up and slow down. Without such a function, the engine of the machine works in jerks, which is not very convenient; soft start minimizes these jerks, providing not only convenience, but also additional safety.

— Speed limiter. The ability to set a maximum speed limit for an electric vehicle. This function is found in models of the younger age category and is mainly designed for situations where the baby is just learning to drive: the limiter does not allow it to accelerate to a dangerous speed either intentionally or accidentally, and the parent can easily keep up with the typewriter. The blocker is usually controlled in such a way that the child cannot turn it off on his own.

— Seat belts. The electric vehicle has seat belts. Their design may be differe...nt: in some models, a belt is used over the shoulder and through the waist, as in real cars, in others two vertical belts can be used to hold the child by the shoulders, etc. However, anyway, such belts, in full accordance with the name, provide additional safety for the small driver — not only in the event of a collision, but simply preventing him from falling out of the car during careless movement.

— Headlights (light effects). The presence of lighting devices in the electric vehicle. In models of the younger age category, these are the simplest lights, which play mainly an entertaining role; in more advanced models, there are also full-fledged headlights that can illuminate the road in the dark. However, it is worth noting that even the simplest lighting effects have a practical function: they make the car more visible on the road.

— Klaxon (signal). The electric vehicle has a special sound signal (klaxon). This feature is mainly intended to warn others about the movement of the car — for example, if a pedestrian walking in the yard looks the other way. Often the horn produces a characteristic "beep", but there are other variants of the sound.

— Sound effects. The presence of a speaker in the typewriter through which various sounds can be played. This can be the sound of a motor, a siren, melodies recorded in the memory, and in some models even music from a memory card or a player connected via a mini-Jack (see below). The purpose of such sounds is mainly entertaining. Note that the horn described above in this case does not apply to sound effects, it is indicated separately in the characteristics.

— Radio. Own tuner that allows you to receive radio broadcasts — usually in the FM band. The sound is played through the vehicle's own speakers.

— Mini-Jack 3.5 mm. A standard 3.5 mm mini-Jack connector in electric vehicles is usually used as an audio input to connect an external player — MP3 player, mobile phone, etc. By connecting a signal source to such a connector, you can play music or other sound accompaniment through the speakers of an electric car (for example, the sound of a powerful motor).

— USB input. Classic USB. It can have different purposes: in some models, you can connect a USB flash drive with music to this input, others allow you to charge various gadgets from the battery of an electric car via the USB port. Specific applications for each model should be clarified separately.

— Slot for memory cards. A slot for reading memory cards, usually SD (however, even this standard has several varieties, so specific supported formats should be specified separately). Usually, this slot is used as a built-in player to play music (or other audio) from a memory card through the speakers of an electric car.

The capacity of a regular electric vehicle battery.

Theoretically, the larger the battery, the more the car can travel on a single charge. However, in fact, the battery life will also depend on the power consumption of the device, and it is primarily affected by the engine power. In addition, the actual battery capacity is determined not only by the number of ampere-hours, but also by the operating voltage. Therefore, only cars with similar characteristics and the same battery voltage can be compared with each other in terms of capacity; and when evaluating battery life, it is worth looking not so much at the characteristics of the battery, but at the range and continuous driving time directly indicated by the manufacturer.

The nominal voltage of the battery installed in the machine.

When selected, this parameter is of secondary importance: it can be useful when comparing several models in terms of battery capacity (see above), but it practically does not affect the performance of the machine. In addition, battery voltage data may be needed to find a spare battery or non-original charger.

The power of the electric motor installed in the electric vehicle; if there are several engines, their total power is usually indicated.

The more powerful the engine, the faster and/or passable the machine will be, the steeper climbs it will be able to take and the easier it will be to cope with more weight, all other things being equal. At the same time, a powerful motor has a high power consumption and requires more capacious and powerful batteries, and this parameter significantly affects the cost. In general, we can say that for an ordinary user, power is rather a secondary parameter: when choosing an electric car, it is more convenient to look at the directly claimed speed, carrying capacity and other practical characteristics.

The longest distance an electric vehicle can travel on a single battery charge without recharging. This indicator is most often perfect, because. indicated for optimal conditions (constant speed, good road surface, no up/down, etc.). The actual driving range on a charge, usually, is less (sometimes noticeable), so it makes sense to choose a model according to this parameter with a certain margin. At the same time, different electric vehicles can be compared with each other in terms of range.

A pointer indicating the state of the battery. The specific device and capabilities of such an indicator can be different — ranging from a simple light bulb that changes colour or starts flashing when the charge is critically low, and ending with data on the display, which can display the charge level as a percentage. Anyway, the presence of such an indicator makes it easier to monitor the state of the battery and reduces the risk of being left with a dead battery at the wrong time.

The longest time during which an electric vehicle is able to drive continuously without recharging the battery. Similar to the driving range, it is a conditional indicator and in fact it is less than the claimed one, however, different models can be compared with each other in terms of continuous driving time. For more information on these points, see "Running Range".

The time required to charge a completely discharged battery to 100% capacity (of course, we are talking about a regular battery supplied with the machine). This indicator will allow you to estimate how much time it will take to “refuel” an electric car. It will also come in handy in the absence of a charge indicator (see above) — by keeping a good battery on charge for the specified time, you are guaranteed to receive a 100% “full” battery.
