24V 4WD 2 Seater Kids Ride On Excavator with Working Digging Arm, Two Hand Levers and 3 Speed Remote, 110 lb, Yellow

A moulded digger arm that does not move is a disappointment the first time a child tries to scoop something with it, and most ride on excavators are exactly that.

This arm works. Two hand levers sit beside the seat: the first digs and scoops, the second lifts and dumps. A child in the second seat can operate the arm while the driver positions the machine, which is a game two children can play together rather than take turns at.

Excavator proportions

A cabin with two seats, a digging arm and bucket mounted along the left flank and a long body behind. At 62 in this is the longest vehicle in our range, and the arm is what the length is for.

How the arm works

Two levers, numbered on the maker's own panel. The first digs and scoops, the second lifts and dumps. It is a two movement arm rather than a single hinge, which is what makes it worth using.

Size and ratings

62 in long, 30.5 in wide and 30.5 in tall, with seats measured at 16 in by 10 in. The maker states 3 years and up and a 110 lb weight capacity, with ASTM and CPSC CPSIA badges alongside.

Two drive modes

Four 75W motors on a 24V 7Ah battery, switchable between four wheel drive and two. The maker frames two wheel drive as the energy efficient option, which is a fair way of putting it.

Two hand levers for dig and scoop, and lift and dump.

Four 75W motors on a 24V 7Ah battery at a published 1.6 to 3.1 mph.

Belts on both seats, with doors that lock and sturdy handrails.

The maker's own figure, across two seats for children 3 and up.

Speed builds gradually rather than arriving the moment the pedal moves.

Plus a horn and an audio input taking USB, SD or MP3.

• The 110 lb capacity is for the vehicle. No per seat limit is published.
• No run time per charge or charge time is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Does the digging arm really work?

Yes. Two hand levers beside the seat control it: one digs and scoops, the other lifts and dumps.

How much weight does it take?

110 lb for the vehicle, for children 3 years and up. No per seat limit is published.

How fast does it go?

1.6 to 3.1 mph, with three variable speeds and an emergency brake on the parent remote.

What does 2WD and 4WD switchable mean?

A switch takes two of the four motors out of drive, which the maker describes as the energy efficient mode.

What holds a child in?

Seat belts on both seats, with lockable doors and sturdy handrails beside them.
