POW POW
POWERWHEELS!!

JEALOUS.

YES! This is how I always imagined them to be when I was a kid.....these guys are awesome.

Man, Diddy Kong Racing was awesome.

Have you ever witnessed a hot-modded Barbie-themed Power Wheel drift through snow at 20mph...ON WEED!?

But seriously, this is pretty kick-ass.

The neighbor kids had power wheels.

This is what I always imagined it was like.

Bastards.

My husband is OBSESSED with buying one of these things and modifying it to go this fast for our daughter. I'm delighted and terrified by the idea of it.

I wonder how much work it is to modify one of these - those look like regular old 2-stroke engines, like you'd find on a weed whacker or leaf blower. It's clearly just hanging off the back of the jeep.

You could probably do this in a couple afternoons. Mounting the engine is probably pretty straightforward. Hardest part is probably adapting the drivetrain to the gas engine. I'd imagine you might want to swap off the plastic bogey wheels that it came with for the wheels off a riding lawnmower, though...

I must do this next winter!!!
