Full-size electric ride-ons use 12V rechargeable drive batteries (examples listed: 12V 7AH and 12V 4.5AH). Smaller push or motorized toys typically use AA or AAA cells (examples include 2–4 AA or 2 AAA configurations).

Typical features include lights, siren/engine sounds, built-in music/tunes and flashing LED effects. Some listings also offer USB or wireless playback, FM radio or storytelling features, and novelty extras such as a bubble maker on one model.
