Comparison Bambi M3402 vs Bambi M3180

A type of technology, the design of which imitates an electric car. Also, some features of its design may depend on this.

— Automobile. Design, reminiscent of ordinary cars. Such electric vehicles have 4 wheels, and the driver is provided with a seat similar to a car seat. The look of a car is the most popular today, a wide variety of options are produced in this design — from small bright electric cars for the smallest to older models designed for real brands of "adult" cars (Lamborghini, BMW, Porsche, etc. .), police cars, etc.

— SUV. Design for an SUV — with large wheels, a characteristic body shape, additional headlights, “kenguryatniks”, etc. The difference between such cars and models that copy passenger cars is often only external, but there are exceptions: some “SUVs” really more passable, able to cope with uneven roads, climbs, etc.

— Motorcycle. Electric vehicles that mimic classic two-wheeled motorcycles, with the appropriate design and riding position. At the same time, most models provide the ability to ride "in an adult way", on two wheels; however, since this requires some skill in maintaining balance, detachable safety wheels are usually included in the package for learning to ride. Electric cars in this design are well suited as a first vehicle for young motorsport enthusiasts. And the most advanced models are capable of reaching speeds of more than 15 km/h....

— Tricycle. Design for three-wheeled motorcycles, with one wheel in front and two in the back. Such electric vehicles are a kind of compromise between classic motorcycles (see above) and cars: they are designed for landing “on horseback” and have motorcycle-type handlebars, at the same time, due to their design, they are stable and do not require the driver to maintain balance skills. In general, the choice between a car and a tricycle depends mainly on personal preferences; in terms of functionality, these types do not have significant differences.

— ATV. Like "adult" ATVs, electric vehicles of this type combine four wheels, a seat on which the driver sits astride, and a motorcycle steering wheel in the form of a pair of handles. A feature of such models is that among them there are both the simplest cars for the smallest, and teenage vehicles with a permissible rider weight of 80 kg or more and a maximum speed of about 30 km/h, suitable for quite extreme driving on rough roads. It is this class that should be paid attention to by those who would like to give a child an electric car with the maximum application for “adulthood”.

— Buggy. Models that copy buggies are light all-terrain vehicles designed mainly for driving on sandy deserts. However, in most cases, copying is limited to appearance — electric buggies usually have a low maximum speed and are designed exclusively for flat surfaces.

— Special equipment. Electric vehicles that simulate various types of special equipment that do not fall under the above categories. Similar models can be designed for trucks (including "long-range" tractors), tractors, bulldozers, etc.; there are even variants with an imitation of a train running on rails — in fact, a larger version of the children's railway, in which a child can ride on a locomotive. This design expands the range of options and allows you to find quite original models.

— Kart. Kart-simulating electric cars are the simplest race cars based on a frame (without a body), with small wheels and a low seating position. In addition, the seats of electric karts are usually more open on the sides than models that mimic ordinary cars or SUVs. Unlike real karts, the speed of such vehicles is usually low.

— In the form of an animal. Cars that imitate this or that animal — as if a small driver rides on this animal. They can copy not only horses, elephants and other mounts, but also bears, tigers, cows, etc., as well as fairy-tale characters. The degree of similarity can also be different: some models are actually ATVs, the front of which is made in the form of an animal's head.

The brand of a real car or motorcycle from which a children's electric car is copied.

Many toy electric cars are made in the form of copies of real-life technology — this makes them more attractive to children. Most often, such devices copy the most expensive and prestigious models. When choosing, note that different types of transport can be produced within the same brand: for example, BMW copies can be both cars and motorcycles.

Copies of such brands of real cars and motorcycles are now on the market: Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, Chevrolet, Ducati, Ferrari, Fiat, Ford, Hummer, Jaguar, Jeep, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Maserati, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, ...>Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.

The maximum weight of a child for which the electric car is designed. For double models (see "Number of seats"), this paragraph indicates the total maximum load — that is, the maximum total weight of both riders.

It is worth choosing according to this indicator with a certain margin — this will give a guarantee in case of emergency situations (like hitting a wheel in a pit). And if an electric car is purchased “for growth”, with the expectation of using it for several years after purchase, it is advisable to take a larger stock.

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.

The number of gears (speeds) provided for in the design of an electric vehicle. Reverse gear, if any, is not taken into account in this case.

Several gears can be provided in cars of almost any age category, except for the youngest. This is done both because of technical necessity, and in order to make the electric car more interesting for the child and to give the young driver the initial skills in handling the gearbox. However, models with automatic transmission are produced, in which the number of gears is purely a conditional moment and does not affect the driving process.

- Remote control. Possibility of remote control of the car from a separate remote control. This function is usually found in models for the little ones and will certainly be appreciated by caring parents: the remote control allows dad or mom to play the role of an instructor, monitor the baby’s movement and intervene in time to protect him from unpleasant collisions. Or, if your child doesn't want to drive the car himself, you can take over the controls and let him enjoy the ride.

— Smooth engine start. A function that allows the machine to smoothly increase and decrease speed. Without this function, the machine’s engine runs jerkily, which is not very convenient; Smooth start reduces these jerks to a minimum, providing not only convenience, but also additional safety.

- Speed limiter. Possibility to set a maximum speed limit for the electric vehicle. This function is found in models of the younger age category and is designed mainly for situations when the child is just learning to drive: the limiter does not allow acceleration to a dangerous speed, either intentionally or accidentally, and the parent can keep up with the car without any problems. The blocker is usually controlled in such a way that the child cannot turn it off independently.

- Seat belts. The electric vehicle has seat belts. Their design...may be different: some models use a belt over the shoulder and through the waist, like in real cars, others may use two vertical belts holding the child by the shoulders, etc. However, in any case, such belts, in full accordance with the name, provide additional safety for the little driver - not only in case of a collision, but also simply preventing him from falling out of the car during careless movement.

— Rocking function. This feature of a children's electric car is very similar to dancing cars (lowriders). Thanks to a special suspension, it is possible to change the position of the body. Thus, the electric car makes rocking movements, which can either simply amuse the child or rock him to sleep.

— Headlights (light effects). The presence of lighting devices in an electric vehicle. In models of the younger age category, these are the simplest lights that mainly play an entertaining role; In more advanced models, there are also full-fledged headlights that can illuminate the road at night. 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 (horn). This function is intended primarily to alert others that the vehicle is moving—for example, if a pedestrian walking in the yard is looking in the other direction. Often the horn makes a characteristic “beeping” sound, but there are other sound options.

- Sound effects. The presence of a speaker in the machine through which various sounds can be played. This could be the sound of an engine, a siren, melodies recorded in 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 entertainment. 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 range. The sound is reproduced through the electric vehicle's own speakers.

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

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

— Slot for memory cards. A slot for reading memory cards, usually of the SD standard (however, even this standard has several varieties, so the specific supported formats should be clarified separately). As a rule, 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 vehicle.

— Bluetooth. Typically, the Bluetooth module is used to wirelessly connect a smartphone and play music from it through the built-in speakers on board a children's electric car. Less commonly, such a connection is used to remotely control the machine.

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 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.
