CANTON, Mass., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning ride-on toy innovator Rollplay is cruising into the holiday shopping season at top speed with all-new, best-in-class battery-powered ride-on vehicles for kids of all ages. Leading the pack for older kids is Nighthawk NexGen, the thrill-packed, foldable follow-up to the wholly original, strikingly low-slung Nighthawk, packed with even more power, speed and thrills for kids ages 6 years and older, and more portability with a quick release folding system. Younger wheels fans (ages 2-6 years) will rule their driveways atop the all-new, fully foldable, incredibly portable, highly storable, battery-powered FLEX Kart, while others will tear things up on the realistic-looking Powersport ATV and rugged SUV replica Powersport Trail Thunder.
Ride-ons are one of the big toy stories of 2020, flying off physical and digital store shelves since Spring. Overall, according to NPD, outdoor and sports toy sales have increased by 31% so far this year through September, as parents transformed their backyards and driveways into safe play oases as team sports, other organized recreational activities and even casual playdates were scaled back.
"Now more than ever, parents are turning to what we call driveway play, seeking out ways to get their kids to put screens aside and get excited about playing outside," said Jeff Popper, CEO of Rollplay. "It's what Rollplay has always been all about, innovating and empowering kids to enjoy the thrill of the ride, always with the utmost attention to safety and durability."
Fun is the first order of business with these new-for-2020 powered Rollplay toys, guaranteed to please come holiday time…and beyond:
- Nighthawk NexGen 24V
With a new quick release folding system that gets kids cruising in seconds, Nighthawk NexGen builds on its predecessor's thrill-ride pedigree. A unique lean-to-steer technique and a low-riding design gets kids soaring around obstacles at speeds up to 6.5 MPH using the foot throttle. When the ride's over, that same quick release system makes popping the foot pedals and wings back in a snap for easy transport. Braking control and safety go to the next level with an all-new hand brake. A lithium battery charges faster and lasts longer, and an all-new battery life indicator keeps power status always in view. Lightweight and compact, the Nighthawk NexGen can be carried anywhere you want to ride. The growing Nighthawk family now includes the groundbreaking original (still available) and the all new Nighthawk NexGen. The latter is available in black exclusively at Walmart and in white at Target and Amazon.
