Abstract:
A safety system for an electric ride-on toy includes a current regulator electrically connected between the battery and electric motor; and a control module connected to the current regulator, having an input device adapted to receive a safety command, and adapted to activate the current regulator if the safety command is received. When activated, the current regulator reduces the electrical current provided from the battery to the electric motor. Current reduction can be in whole or in part. The control module can include a variable resistor. The safety system can optionally include a reset mechanism. When activated, the current regulator remains activated until the reset mechanism is triggered. The input device can be a wireless receiver, and the safety system can further include a wireless transmitter for sending the safety command and/or a warning signal. The wireless transmitter can include an antennae positioned to form a boundary, which can be open or closed.
