Comparison Bambi M4877EL vs Bambi M4104EL

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 car has a separate brake pedal.

This point is indicated in the specifications because the brake pedal for electric vehicles is far from mandatory: in many models, braking occurs when the gas pedal is released. However, the presence of a separate brake enhances the resemblance to a real car, makes the car more interesting and allows you to develop important driving skills.

Also note that some children's electric cars, including very advanced ones, may not have a brake pedal solely because of design features (for example, in ATVs, the brake is often done manually, on the steering wheel).

- 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 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 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 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.
