Will this go fast on asphalt? I've held off buying a plasmacar because it doesn't work well on asphalt, but was hoping this might be better.

Our elementary children ride them for 2 -3 hours a day (different groups) and they work wonderfully.

I have used Flying Turtles on asphalt and cement. Both have worked fine with the turtle. The turtle is propelled by the twisting action of the child, any incline to the path. So speed is created by the ability of the child to twist back and forth. A super good tool for building strong core muscles.

The pavement they ride it on is asphalt. I'm not in the same state as them but I'm told it goes real fast down hill and slower up heel. They do like it a lot.

I bought the Turtle for my grandson who demonstrated it for me in his garage and driveway. It zoomed around fine on both surfaces but in your case, it would depend on the roughness of the asphalt. He loves it.

It does not run very well on grass unless it is very, very short, like turf. It is very fast and can sometimes get out of grass if say you just barely go off road and get back on pavement quickly, but it is so small with not much clearance, so it does not do grass very well at all. I would suggest a larger scale like 1:10 or larger if you plan on running on grass.

Grass should be OK but rocky driveways/gravel may be a problem as this scooter has no shock absorbers/springs. It goes better on smooth asphalt.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I will say I was very nervous about spending the money on this car with some of the reviews. I am so glad we did it because since we have had ours we have had no problem. Both boys 3 and 5 ride together and love it. So does Pappy! We have had no trouble in any way. They drive around the block and it never boggs down or loses power. We have had no problem with the charger either. The wheels can slip a little in the grass if going up a slop but we prefer they ride on concrete and not harm the grass. So no problem there. I would highly recommend the car.

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

It works good on grass, my daughter rides hers on the driveway as well as the lawn with no problems. Sand doesn't go to well with it at all. As long as the gravel is really packed good it shouldn't be a problem.

It has been for my daughter. Its her first and works well on paved surfaces. The smoother the better but does work on rough pavement.

The original plasma cars work beautifully on hardwood floors. Make sure you buy the real thing and not this cheap imitation.

Not necessarily, but mentioned, it does move better on smooth surfaces. A polished concrete will be ok, a rough asphalt not so much.

The tyres are plastic. You will need to find a way to get more grip on them before you can go fast. If you are able to add grip, these things fly down the street.

It goes well on carpet, however, I doubt if it could work well on really deep plush/pile, but maybe even on that since the children usingthese are lightweight. Asphalt fine but children might scrape their feet, legs or knees on the asphalt if they happen to have fairly long legs. I personally don't recommend the use outdoors.

Haven't used it as yet on the outside but as hard as it has been driven inside it looks like it really can endure the outdoors well. Great speed and rotation. I will suggest to keep it on even surfaces outdoors for a smoother ride. Am looking forward to taking it on the outside when this weather subsides.

I have had many hours of fun with this. Have driven on the street, in a gravel pit, in the rain,and snow. Crashed it in to a moving gravel truck which ran over the front end. After that I put in a brushless motor new front suspension and straitened the body. Only complaint is it goes so fast that on a rough surface you cannot control it. Five out of five stars.

I have both (I have 2yo twins - so, have to buy 2)They have the same size, shape. Lil's has stickers which turns the car into firetruck (police, etc) when Plasma doesn't.But the big difference is this car rated up to 110lb when plasmacar up to 220lb. I bought this for $33 when plasma car is $53.For $20 difference it makes more sence to get this. Now, this is $45. So, for $8 it makes sense to get plasma car.I'm 190lb guy and I can ride Plasma car - it's real fun. But I'd not risk to sit into Lil' rider. My wife can ride on both (105lb).But It's not just for your fun - when kids see you riding it they like to ride it even more.

Dear friend, thank you for your kind focusing on our goods. As you know, It usually depends on what you pavement, rough or smooth asphalt concrete road, downhill, then will be very fast, but is generally not recommended speed of more than 15km, please wear protective gear. Hoping this can help you a little. Thank you again.

I don't have an asphalt driveway, but they really are skateboard wheels, so try a skateboard and you will have your answer!

If the area is level and the car is fully charged it will ride well on the grass. It performs the best on pavement or cement.
