That’s right, about as soon as Power Wheels became a thing so did Power Wheels derbies, and parents all over the world want to know how to build a power wheels derby car!
Most derbies, whether sanctioned by your sub-division or held at a fair, have strict rules against modifying the cars’ engines or tires or reinforcing the cars’ bodies. Building a Power Wheels derby car is actually super easy since its more about
decorations
than any real assembly.
Here’s what you need to consider when you’re building your Power Wheels derby car:
  • Battery: you can use a 12V lawn mower battery in place of the Power Wheels standard battery for a longer-lasting charge.
  • Decorations: you can add just about anything you want, just as long as it doesn’t include sharp corners or metal parts. You can even buy derby kits that include everything from stick-on decals to faux intakes and exhausts.
Although your daughter’s upgraded Power Wheels car won’t need
car insurance
, there’s never a better time to look into upgrading your own policy! No need to spend hours comparison shopping—just let the #1-rated insurance app
