kirks5oh Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 this is what happens when you take a 6 volt power wheels bike, and add a 12 volt battery to it. i found a random link to a new forum modifiedpowerwheels.com, and the rest is history. the battery is made by gruber, and is a sealed battery, just like the ones from power wheels. the only thing it does not have is a built in fuse--so i added an inline fuse. now, i guess i have to mod the other one. cost me about $25 to modify. excuse the semi-nudity and clutter, it was right before bath time.

Clifford Automotive Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thats awesome. Charge the same still? Ive got two larger power wheels out in the garage that need new batteries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thats awesome. Charge the same still? Ive got two larger power wheels out in the garage that need new batteries... i've only charged the battery once so far, and today was the first day they were driving it. you can't use the same charger (the 6 volt one), which is fine because apparently, it does not provide consistent charging. i bought a shumacker battery charger from vatozone that works just fine, and charges in about 4 hours on the quicker setting---or i can just hook up one of my trusty deltran battery tenders and charge it over the course of a day. girls are fighting over the modded one--which means i have to mod the other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 couple of my favorites. Damn.. that last one was cool. 1. Kid needs a freakin' helmet. 2. Wonder if it would pull the front wheels if they had rubber tires instead of plastic. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've looked at these things in the past.. I would love to see a video of one with a gas motor. I've seen one video, but it wasn't very good. An AWD Gas powerwheels jeep would be beyond badass, but that would pretty much require a new..everything.

craig71188 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 2. Wonder if it would pull the front wheels if they had rubber tires instead of plastic. lol. Well, In a "non-modded" one, my contractor buddy wrapped the tires of his kids ride with some thin (but about as wide as the tires) rubber strips (used to seal roof seams for rubber roofing) because he was spinning the wheels on the slope of his driveway - it went over backwards. Oh by the way, I do have some of this stuff left from when he did my porch roof, in case anyone wants to "track test" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it would pull the front wheels if they had rubber tires instead of plastic. lol. i tried to put the battery as far forward as possible to prevent this. still, our car did a wheelie once on the carpet, because it got immediate traction. i'm happy to let it spin like crazy on the tile, so it won't dump my kids off the back doing a wheelie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Fuck this is old news to me, my dad did this to my kid sisters "Big Foot" seriously 10+ years ago. He put a car battery in the damn thing, it would haul my 100lb 12 year old ass around in the snow. He also hooked up fog lights so she could drive it at night lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
