I’ve seen a lot of 6 volt to 12 volt conversion videos on Youtube, but none of them explained very well what they were doing for someone that doesn’t know a lot of electrical wiring. This is a step by step video providing all the details to make your Power Wheels faster. Remember, the most important part of the conversion is adding the inline fuse!

Safety first, if you are unsure about the process, get additional advice. Kids should also wear a helmet when riding!
