CHILDREN'S RIDE-ON VEHICLES HAVING GROUND DETECTION SYSTEMS

摘要

Children's ride-on vehicles having a drive assembly that is selectively c onfigured between a plurality of drive configurations, such as responsive to user inputs via user input devices, and a ground detection system that is a dapted to detect when at least one of a plurality of wheels loses contact wi th the ground surface. The ground detection system may be adapted to restric t the plurality of drive configurations responsive thereto. This restriction may be automatic responsive to loss of contact of the at least one of the p lurality of wheels with the ground surface, and it may be made regardless, o r independent, of user inputs that otherwise would select and/or enable one of the restricted drive configurations.
