CHILDREN'S RIDE-ON VEHICLE WITH MECHANICAL SPEED CONTROL

摘要

A children's ride-on vehicle with a reduced scale chassis (10) having a seat configured to accommodate at least one child. The vehicle further includes a drive assembly (20), which includes one or more drive wheels and a battery powered motor assembly. The battery powered motor assembly includes a motor output (56) and a torque attenuation system, which is configured to regulate the transmission of torque from the motor assembly to the one or more drive wheels. The torque attenuation system incorporates a force reducing mechanis m (60) adapted to receive a rotational input from the motor output and regulat e the transmission of that rotational input to the one or more drive wheels. I n some embodiments of the invention, the torque attenuation system is adapted to be retrofit on existing children's ride-on vehicles.
