Ride-On Toys Moulded Plastics – Marks and imperfections on Plastic Injected Moulded items

All ride-on cars, quads and motorbikes have fabricated bodies; therefore Unfortunately items made from moulded plastic may have slight mould irregularities such as small dents in the plastic or scratches, so you may see imperfections and blemishes on the body & windscreen. These are an unavoidable side effect of the manufacturing process

It is important to note that we are not unique to this as the issue happens in quite a few industries where plastic is fabricated this way. These irregularities are purely cosmetic and do not affect the operation of the toy and as such are not considered a warranty issue.

Ride On Toys – All ride on’s are designed to be only used on on flat ground such as tarmac, concrete or short dry grass. You should avoid using them on uneven ground, long grass, sand, mud, wet ground or inclines as this put pressure on the axles and motors and will most likely fail. 

If your ride on has sustained damage due to misuse, it will not be covered under warranty and replacement parts will be chargeable.
