Best niche electric vehicles
Polaris Slingshot by Bahom. The only three-wheeler to make the list. Is it a motorcycle, or is it a car? Who cares, it's fun. The Polaris is currently priced at under $300 and is one of the few cars that has a passenger seat.
Mercedes 300SL roadster by Costzon. If the Polaris is too new age and trendy for your kiddo, maybe they would prefer a more classic model. This Mercedes brings back nostalgia for a bygone era. It's also one of the more reasonably priced options at $189.99.
Jeep Wrangler by Costzon. If "it's a Jeep thing" runs in your family, this Wrangler may be an excellent option. It can also hold two passengers and has a parental remote control mode for your peace of mind. The Jeep starts at $309.99.
Mercedes-Benz Maybach G650s Landaulet by Costzon. Does your kid want a stylish SUV that will turn heads? Look no further than this Mercedes big wheel. This car starts at $225.99 and comes in four different colors, including a cool teal blue and fun hot pink.
Perhaps the best thing about these kids’ cars is that they don't require any expensive insurance. But if you're a parent looking to save money on car insurance for your own vehicle, the
