We desperately want this 50bhp Barbie ride-on
It doesn’t matter how old you are, you want a go in this wheeling baby off-roader
Santa, you listening? Because even though it’s spring, we’re getting in early on the whole Christmas list thing as we have to have one of these in our lives.
It’s a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep off-road go-kart with a CRF 450 dirt bike engine courtesy of some internet industrialists.
To any junior petrolhead, a ride-on is the gateway to car ownership and this one quite literally could be king of the hill.
Normally fitted with some whiney electric motors and scratchy hard plastic tyres, ride-ons are a harmless way for bumbling toddlers to learn car control. But what happens when you decide to strip those out and drop in a lairy CRF 450 dirt bike engine, some mountain bike suspension and eight-inch golf cart wheels in Barbie's beach buggy? Simple answer: a whole lot of awesome.
