Rank #8 in Best Kids Ride On Cars 2026: 10 Ranked, 6V vs 12V
HOMCOM Mercedes-Benz G500 12V Ride On Car, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM Mercedes Benz G500 is a licensed 12V ride-on in black, at £183.99 — £70 more than the £113.98 that another 12V car in this guide costs. It places eighth. The finding on this listing is in the specification table: the title says 12V, but no battery voltage appears anywhere in the specs, and the Included Components field reads 'Kids Electric Ride On Car, Remote, Manual', naming no battery at all.
The number that stands out most is 'Battery Average Life: 8 Hours' — the longest run-time claim in this guide, against the one hour listed on the AIYAPLAY AMG CLE 53. Speed is given only as 3-5km/h in the bullet, with no mph figure anywhere on the listing. Of the 133 ratings behind the 4.2 average, 14 are one-star. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — price, figures and reviews — and not from any testing we have carried out.
