Kid Trax Le Mans Corvette C5 Electric Ride-On Nothing quite compares to the power, precision, and speed of a Corvette. As an American icon since 1953, the Corvette continues to thrill hobbyists and race-car enthusiasts.With the Kid Trax Corvette C5 electric ride-on your little dragster can join in on the fun without having to wait for a driver’s license. Racing sound effects, a working FM radio, and dashboard LED lights create a realistic driving experience ideal for ages three and up. Kids will love putting their cup in the retractable cup holder and taking this beauty out for a spin. Buttons on the steering column create real-life driving noises, such as a pass-by, change gear, burnout, and horn.

Not only is this Corvette loads of fun, its safe and built to last. It features a long-lasting, 12-volt battery, twin rear-wheel drive motors, and durable wheels with a built-in traction strip to prevent slippage. Rest assured that your little speed demon won’t be traveling too fast, as this tiny Corvette has a two-speed transmission with parental control. It allows speeds up to 2.5 mph and 5.0 mph with reverse at 2.5 mph. This Corvette comes in bright-yellow with pre-applied racing graphics; it is quick and easy to assemble. Best of all, there will be no fighting over this car, as two children can ride at one time–if the combined weight does not exceed 130 pounds. This product comes with a one-year limited warranty and a six-month warranty on the battery.

Customer Review: Do not buy this car!
This car is completely useless and a waste of money. The battery is very touchy and if it is not charged in a meticulous manner it will not work again. There is no where to buy a replacement battery. It took me almost a year to locate an email address and telephone number for the company,and I have had no follow through from their customer service regarding my complaints. Don’t waste your money!
Customer Review: Continual Problems
This was our son’s Christmas ’07 gift. We had it for three months when the car stopped working completely. We called Kid Trax, and they informed us that our motherboard was the problem. Since it was under warranty, they promptly sent us another one. Three months later, the same thing happened. We called Kid Trax again. They agreed to send us another motherboard since the corvette was still under warranty. However, this time, the customer service rep. accused us of misusing the car, e.g. driving the car up steep hills. We defended ourselves explaining that many other children on our street own Power Wheels vehicles and have not experienced ANY problems with their cars. It is now October, and our motherboard has gone out AGAIN. We are still under warranty, so we called Kid Trax. Our customer service rep told us that our account had been tagged with the phrase, “Drives vehicle up steep slopes” which is completely false. My husband argued with him, and we did get our third motherboard sent to us. The customer service rep. informed us that they will not send us a fourth motherboard. We will have to take it to a service center for repair.
