From the Manufacturer

It's like magic, but you don't need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn't require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel-just the occasional cookie or two. It's quiet too-the only sound you'll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It's been extensively tested, and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards. Fully Assembled: 31" x14" x 16"8.15 lbs Please look at the videos on the catalog for installation.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Outdoor Toy!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2017
    Purchased this for my son's second birthday, and it was his absolute favorite gift by far! He absolutely loves riding it up and down the driveway and on the sidewalk.

    I love that it will grow with him, as he doesn't quite understand the "wiggle" feature of it (putting both feet on it and moving the handle back and forth to go forward). Right now, he's content to push off with his feet. The construction is durable, and the car came completely assembled!

    Update: Four months after our initial purchase and this is HANDS DOWN the best birthday gift we gave our son. He uses it every single day and has the device completely mastered. It's fascinating to watch!

    Update #2: We’ve reached a year since the initial purchase. Now that it’s spring, our soon-to-be 3 year old STILL loves this toy. It’s the first outdoor toy he grabs.

    Update #3 (12/18): Just purchased a second for our 2 year old daughter. This toy is a MUST for kids who love to play outside!

    Update #4 (9/21): We’ve added a third child to the mix (who is now 3). All three kids, ages 6, 4, & 3) STILL LOVE their wiggle cars. My very average sized 6 year old still fits the toy, and he continues to regularly use it (despite having no less than 5 other rideable outdoor toys to choose from). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Update #5 (5/2022): I still recommend this toy to anyone with little kids. Our three kids (ages 3, 5, & 7) ALL continue to use our two wiggle cars. The first one was purchased in 2017 and it is still holding up just fine! Naturally, there’s scratches in it by this point, but functionally it’s great. Also, my kids tend to NOT be gentle with ride on vehicles, so these cars have taken quite a beating over the years. Do yourself and your kids a favor and get this!

    Update #6 (06/2023). After six (YES—6!) summers of hard use with three kids, our first Plasmacar purchase from 2017 has finally kicked the bucket. Both back tires have worn through as well as one of the smaller front tires (see pictures). We are overjoyed to have gotten six years with this purchase. Our 8 year old son STILL uses our Plasmacars. I will continue to recommend this toy to anyone with kids!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for all ages!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2017
    I bought this for my two year old for Christmas as when I was younger this was my little brother's favourite toy and I remember how much fun he had in it. He had it from the age of 3-10 and absolutley loved it. Even though she was a little young I decide to get this as the price was amazing and it's something she can grow into. We opened it together and my fiancé put it together. There is a great assembly video on YouTube and it takes about 5 minutes only tip is to make sure the handle is straight when tightening the bolt! We weren't quite paying attention and put it on a bit wonky at first but my step dad soon fixed it. She really enjoyed scooting around in this on the hardwood floors and her older cousins actually got on too and had a go and wouldn't get off they had so much fun. As my little girl is only two she's not quite got the hang of the fact you can make the car move by rotating the handle back and forth (something her cousin clocked right away) but she had fun none the less and I'm sure will soon pick it up. I would highly recommend this product we take it to the park and she uses it indoors on hard floors it is a great way to get moving and have a blast while doing it. Delivery was on time as well ordered and delivered within 48 hours.
