Children's steering wheel exercise bike
This is a driving simulator for children from 3 years old. Everything is just like in a real car: an adjustable seat, a gearshift knob, a gas pedal and brakes. The most interesting thing in this toy is the electronic steering wheel with a screen. As an experienced driver, a child can adjust the seat to suit his height and must use seat belts. The rider is ready for the ride. We start the car by turning the ignition key, turn on the first gear, press the gas pedal, let's go!
All actions of the child are accompanied by sound effects. Our rider leaves on a busy street, and it's time to increase speed. Here we switch to second gear, and the handlebar makes the sounds of an accelerating car, which makes the trip more realistic. Caution, baby, the pedestrian crosses the road in the wrong place, press the brake pedal and the signal! Wow, what a hole, go round her! The young driver turns the steering wheel to the side, and the corresponding indicator starts to click and blink on the panel.
It’s time to refuel: press the desired button on the steering wheel and hear gas being poured into the tank. We are ready to continue the journey, but now we will go with Lightning McQueen. The machine of this hero is located on the steering wheel monitor and moves along a winding race track. Motov roars! There is a squeal of brakes, a blow, an emergency stop signal is turned on. The young racer will repair his car and continue on his way. Sound effects are very realistic and are reproduced by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel. Car simulators have slight differences depending on the model.
