The Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX is ultimate in true to life ATV riding fun that any kid could want to experience. Just like a real "adult" ATV it has amazing traction and will perform on wet grass (so long as it is not too wet), mud, gravel as well as in ruff terrain and rutted areas.

It has two speeds the slower reaching around 2.5 mph by pressing down on the foot pedal, whilst the faster speed - which is reached by using the twist grip throttle and the gas pedal and will have the little terrors zapping round at around 5 mph! Reverse is also available.

This is all powered by a rechargeable 12 volt battery. At this point it is worth mentioning that having a back up battery is a great idea so that your little racer isn't made to hang around waiting for his/her Power Wheels Kawasaki to recharge, whilst these are far from cheap it is worth while. Purchasing the 12 volt fast charger I found was also money well spent.

For younger kids and those just beginning, the Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX has a high speed lock out facility keeping the vehicle at the slower speed and therefore ensuring safety and building confidence before revving up.

All that said probably the most important thing to any child is the fact that it looks realistic with its sporty look. Its ability to be ridden almost anywhere will be sure to give hours of fun and adventure for kids of all ages. However, with all the rough and tumble which can be involved in such active play a safety helmet may be worth consideration. Whilst this is not strictly essential wearing a bicycle helmet will give good protection should there be any mishaps - you could of course, push the boat out and buy your little monster a motorcycle helmet!

As you can see from the dimensions the Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX is really suited for use indoors, it is very much an outdoor toy and this is worth thinking about before you buy - storage should also be considered, although I know of one which has been left outside in pouring rain and it still works perfectly, although it is probably not a good idea for this to happen on a regular basis!

One small moan would be the noise made by the hard plastic wheels on concrete or other hard surfaces, the good thing is that it is possible to source rubber bands or tyres which will fit over the wheels. Not only will these get rid of the noise but they also help improve the already fairly good traction.

Your Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX does need assembly when it arrives but this really is fairly easy even for those of us who are not particularly good at such tasks, and you do receive everything you need in the box.

In all this is a wonderful fun toy to have around, it appears to be very durable and the charge on the battery lasts for a decent amount of time. Little ones seem to find it simple to ride and operate, but some adult supervision especially for younger children is advisable.
