Info about speed is a bit confusing, could anyone please confirm whether or not there are 2 speeds (2.5 and 5 mph) as usully for 12V riders? Thx!

My children drive this and it has one speed. It's not too fast. I feel very safe with them driving it

It has 2 speeds forward and a reverse but, as I said in my review the company seems to change the features of this toy car at will.

I think it's only forward and reverse. My 3 year old and 7 year old LOVE IT,

Hello. I personally dont have a motor, but I am a power user of this device. You should imagine this device as a gear box of a car. You change the speeds as you think that your leg power can not give you more speed. You can change speed when you are stopped. So as long as you have the right controls of your engine speed, this should be a great component for your bike. Very smooth, very nice.

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mph But i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

Hello barbara! I think this version can be upgraded to the faster version with newer parts up to 70mph but 35mph is pretty fast if your not in some type of competition racing. Again i recommend the fast charger 45min to recharge and rechargable batteries for transmitter. Hope this helps!! I'm 40yrs old and its pretty strudy and fast out of box with no upgrades Lol!!

It is 2 speeds, high and low. Variable speed is controlled by you while using it. Hope this helps, my husbandabsolutely loves them. Mary

Couldn't tell you, it's been built up. All I know is that your question is linked to the product I purchased which runs 10 speed. At this point if you are so unsure, your best bet is your local bike shop.

Yes, same speed: 7 mph. Battery is not lasting too long. Is wise to have a second battery.

No - single speed only. My recommendation - consider the Bosch 12V system. Battery like is much better. I had problems with the Craftsman batteries. They quit taking a charge after only 6 months. Sears will replace but that's a hassle.

My daughter just turned 11, and it's fine for her. She's at about 75 lbs., and just over 4 ft. Speed is around 14 mph. I would look online for something, depending upon whether you want electric or gas powered. Your parents also might have some input about what type, depending upon what kind of riding you're doing (off road, just on pavement, around your house - short hops, so to speak, etc.).I think at your age it might be just a bit undersized or one that you'll outgrow quickly. Good luck and safe riding!

It does have 2 speeds. I've had it on all summer and it seems to do a good job and runs very quietly.

Lower temps and a Esc and motor that can handle up to 6S power. If you run both these systems on 3S the velineon might go a bit faster but 3S is all the VXL can handle. As soon as you put this thing on 4S+ it hauls ass and is the fastest 8th scale motor you can buy. No other motor on the market that I know can go as fast as this thing and it has a bucket loads of TORQUE! Basically the lower the KV the more torque and the higher the KV the more top speed. The reason why this so fast is because there's no other 8th scale motor with as high of a KV as this one that can handle 6S power that I know of. If that makes sense?

I bought a pair of riders online on EBAY. Tried to use them. Battrries wouldn't hold a charge. Called Cardo. Told they couldn't help me. Bought a pair of Q1 riders on Amazon and still haven't got them working. Instructions are complicated and while at times the wife and I can talk it lasts only minutes before we have to start over. I also bought a half helmet setting so I could switch over one of the Q1 bases and use it on trips. Hasn't worked out. I paid about 295.00 for everything and should have bought something else. If you want complicated and doesn't work buy Cardo. I also have an RV but I wouldn't use Cardo for commo. Besides what would you mount them to?

Variable speed from 5,000 - 20,000rpm (no load)Hope this helps ! Best wishes.

No. The motor and esc are both rated up to 3s, but not running together, I have tried it but it got hot Very Fast. You would need the Mamba Max Pro or Hobbywing wpsc8, etc. for a reliable 3s esc with 5700kv. I have this Castle combo in my Bandit, and 2s is plenty...my advice? Gear up and you will already be in the 50mph range 2s...I run 24/90 gears and it's stupid fast. Speed run, 26/76, it has to be 55mph with that gearing.

Good Question for Amazon if they have both speeds posted. It is 5400RPM NOT A 7200 RPM

Stock 10mph add ball bearings and threaded axls, 15 a lipo it's up to 23 add a brushless setup and you can do about 35 but be carefull....your going to break something if you crash at that speed. I attach a gps so I know these time are pretty spot on.

It depends on the voltage that is needed for your riding mower. I am currently using mine for push mower. It requires 24v so I use 2 of these. I have electric bike that use 24v which use very similar battery as these (it has 500w motor and goes 15mph for 30 minutes).
