Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband and I just purchased the Thomas the Train powerwheel for our son's 2nd birthday. Recently, our son has shown an interest in trains (in general), so we thought this would be the perfect gift! We were right!
The train is small, so our son is able to get on/off of it easily. The product description said it only moves at a rate of 2 mph, which is the prefect pace for a smaller child. It was really easy (and quick!!) to assemble. In fact, applying the stickers took the most time.As noted by earlier reviewers, we also recommend charging it before giving this item as a gift. It will require 18 hrs to charge. With this said, our son has had it for over 2 weeks and we haven't had to charge it again. It has been used every day as he rides it around our house for approximately 30 minutes every day.
Our only notable complaint is that the wheels are really slick. It has been difficult for the wheels to get traction on our wooden floors. At times, our son will require a small push when moving from room to room to get over where the floors meet. It seems to work really well on our rugs, so we are excited to see how well it will work outside once the weather gets warmer. Contrary to the other reviewer, our floors have not been damaged at all.
Overall impressions are that it was a great deal for the price. Our son loves it, and he plays with it daily--and he isn't even a Thomas the Train fanatic. We think it's a great first starter powerwheel for small children. It is extremely user friendly.

I have now had the opportunity to use this powerwheel outdoors. It only runs well on flat surfaces (such as pavement or sidewalks). It does not work well on grass at all. If you are buying the Thomas the Train powerwheel to be used predominantly outdoors, I would look at other models.
