PowerWheels Tire Upgrade

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

After juicing the battery up with the Bosch power adapter, we were having massive slipping on the Jeep my son was driving. So I took an old set of mountain bike tires and cut them up and installed them onto the PowerWheels plastic wheels to give it some real grip!

    Awesome video love it! I’ve always wondered why on earth these powerwheels have plastic tires. They’re crack and work terribly. Love this video ❤

    They actually put the plastic wheels on purpose. If you add more traction, it will wear out the gearing a lot faster.

    Tightly wrap tape or small ratchet straps to apply pressure while glueing. Install adjustable voltage regulator between battery and motor. Lower voltage slower, higher voltage will go faster but could burn up motor. Then let them rip 👍

    I'm glad to see it pop wheelies so I want to know did they survive drifting and skids? I'm thing too ad traction to razor ground force drifter wheels and tried stapling t treads on but when I tested the wheels by holding the kart and letting the tires skid for a minute, one by t one, each tread flew off, one of them splitting in half. I did want to try a nail gun and small nails but really don't want to ruin the wheels to bad

    Yes back tires as they are the ones that drive the jeep. If it had 4 wheel drive, than I'd do all 4 tires.

    Does it matter if I get a 12volt vehicle vs a 24 volt version if I’m gonna upgrade the battery regardless? I wanna get my son one of these.

    If you buy 12V you can upgrade to 18v but if it's 24v you'll be downgrading unless you Amp it up 40V

    Ok, and why would you say that? Plastic with no grip vs rubber tire wrap with grip? Odd comment.
