How To Upgrade Power Wheel Tire | Get Better Traction | DIY | Peg Perego

Loved it. The expressions on our kid's faces are priceless. They love these.

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

He just loved this upgrade! He is still using it! They are made really well for being mostly all plastic construction haha! God bless you!

[@ddier333]

I did this upgrade to my kid's tractor 3 years ago and it is still running great. He rides it pretty much every day.

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

It really helps a lot on uneven, terrain!

​@@OurFruitfulFamilywenn man auf Asphalt fährt, fährt dann der traktor nicht auf den Schraubenköpfen? Kann man nicht Senkkopfschrauben nehmen, die im Gummi versenkt werden? Das klackert doch auf der Straße oder?

Good job, that’s pretty much what I did, I’m really not sure why they don’t put rubber on them from the word go. Thanks for sharing, cute boy you got there, your a blessed man .

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Thank you for the compliment on our boy! I certainly count myself blessed to have the family that God trusted me with.

Great upgrade, I didn't think of a bicycle tyre. So easy! Cheers from Czech Republic.

God bless you!!!!

Very great. Your family and scene are fantastic❤

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Thank you!

[@cambol9161]

Great idea, tnxs for sharing. How many bike tires did you need for the 4 wheels?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

the front tires are much smaller so I'd just grab one extra!

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Nice my boys tractor is getting a upgrade. I was looking at his tractor today and wondering why there wasn’t any rubber. Even a just a quarter inch wide band in the middle of the tire. My boys tractor is fairly new and the wheels have a groove for a rubber band. So I was thinking did I not get those bands in the box or something.

Brilliant! Going to make some stops on the way home for my 2 year old 🤙🤙

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Next upgrade, 18 or 20v battery adapter from Amazon. Use your 18 or 20v lithium tool batteries to power that sucker! You literally have to run to keep up haha!

[@ski007jim]

@@OurFruitfulFamily oooh do you by any chsnce have a link for the adapter???

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

I use Dewalt tools so this is my adapter amzn.to/3a3qChP

@@OurFruitfulFamily thats awesome! I have rigid, going to check if they have any. Thanks bro!!

[@V.D.22]

I will definitely try this with my kid's Chinese tractor. The only problem is that it has a single 18W 6V motor....so it's pretty weak.....any ideas on how to increase power?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

I put a 20v Dewalt battery adapter in his! Worked well. Made it way faster too. Basically let you use 20 V DeWalt batteries. You could try a 12v adapter in yours or any adapter to fit whatever power tools you use. You can find them on Amazon.

[@V.D.22]

@@OurFruitfulFamily Thanks! where should I connect the battery adapter? directly to the engine? the small engine is only 6 volts,

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

You definitely don’t want to overpower the gearbox. I would probably try a 12 V upgrade first. This is obviously against the manufacture recommendations so the risk is on you. Mine was a 6 V and I put a 20 V battery in. To install, you essentially replace the connector that would normally attach to your battery with the connector on the adapter. It’s very simple. Just cut the two wires and splice them to the adapter.

[@shawnmorin3925]

Electrician here- Do not increase the voltage to your tractor. Over voltage will destroy an electric motor. Only use the recommended 6V battery. You can however increase the batteries capacity by getting a BIGGER battery

[@TheHeritageBride]

Awesome 👏

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Haha thank you!

[@menace7125]

i tried the battery upgrade and this as well and the tractor now jerks so hard right it throw him off it, not sure how to fix the issue

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

When I first did both of these upgrades… He was too lightweight to keep the front in on the ground because of the amount of torque. I opened up the hood and added some heavy stuff and fastened it under the hood in order to better balance out the tractor for the new torque levels.

[@menace7125]

@@OurFruitfulFamily Great advice thank you! what kind of heavy stuff?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

@@menace7125 haha i weld, so I keep random scrap metal. Honestly, a brick would work lol. Or a metal weight lifting plate from Walmart.

[@richardconrad698]

How is your gear box holding up? On my daughter's Dewalt 20v Barbie Jeep, i was told that rubber will ruin gearboxes, and to upgrade to steel gears. For Peg Perego, I don't see steel gears for sale, and the gear boxes look like they better quality.... Thoughts?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

If I am being honest, his gearbox is stripped out twice before I ever made any upgrades. They stripped out another two times before I decided to just get him something better lol. I did not find that they stripped out any more than they already had been. Gear boxes on those toys are generally made cheap. If you could get a steel gearbox, somehow, that would be a terrific upgrade. I ordered replacement gear boxes for his from Amazon for around 50 bucks. our property and Arkansas is very hilly and he like to follow us on trails in the woods, so it was simply not made for our heavy use in general.

[@richardconrad698]

@@OurFruitfulFamily good to know, thank you! i'll definitely need better traction as well for my back yard. $50 doesn't seem too bad, though, for replacement gear boxes! hard to put a price on teaching them how to mow the lawn, i mean, important driving skills and letting them have fun....... ha

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

@@richardconrad698 here is the one I ordered a few times. It goes in and out of stock all the time. Kinda aggravating. amzn.to/3RLnEPs

@@jsb1944 man, it must be outdated now. Just look up peg perego gear box.

[@j5long]

Do the upgrade to Dewalt batteries. Well worth it!

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

I did already 🤣😂! Right after this upgrade. Should’ve made a video on it haha! It’s so fast now.

[@GrantLackey]

@@OurFruitfulFamily have you had any issues with the plastic gears stripping out?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Oh yes! The first time it happened was before I made any upgrades at all. Had to change the back right gearbox out. Another one just stripped out not too long ago so he is out of commission at the moment. He doesn’t know this but we got him an upgrade for his birthday coming up so I may take my time replacing the gearbox this time but this will be my second gearbox.

[@j5long]

how's the tires holding up?

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

The tires are holding up great!!! It’s a great upgrade!

[@PDHProductions]

Your Amazon link for the bike tire is NOT the actual tire. It's the inner tube -_-

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Well, it looks like you are right about that! Not sure how the heck that happened… hm…. Let me look into it! God bless

[@OurFruitfulFamily]

Just updated the link for you! Sorry about that! God bless!
