We bought my son’s first ride on toy from JCPenney when he was 2ish.  It was a police motorcycle and I was so thrilled that we were able to buy him something under $50.  I think it was $45-49ish.  I was so skeptical, too.  I thought it wouldn’t work or break easily because it was so inexpensive.  Well, it’s 6+ years later and my daughter still rides it.  It’s the only ride on that still works, and we have a Power Wheels Mustang, my mother has a Jeep she bought and keeps at her house, and another larger motorcycle is there, too.  All the gears have been stripped.

That said,  the Mini Power Quad Ride (Also in Pink)  on is on clearance at JCPenney for just $30 down from $60!  It says this one uses push button control to go forward and backward.  My son’s motorcycle is like that, too.  It really avoids gear stripping because they just push a switch, like an on/off switch, to change direction.
