LED Pull Back Race Car for Kids – Friction Powered with Motion-Activated Lights, No Batteries Needed, Ages 3+ (Red/Black Open Wheel)
This 5-inch pull-back race car lights up with red, blue, green, and purple LEDs as soon as it moves. Powered by a friction motor, it shoots forward over 30 feet without any batteries. The clear body reveals a spinning marble that creates a flashing light show, making it exciting for both daytime and low-light racing. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, this open-wheel car is ready for stunts and crashes.
How the LED light show works
Motion-activated sensors turn on the LEDs when the car rolls. Inside, a marble spins as the car moves, scattering light through the clear body. The result is a mix of red, blue, green, and purple flashes that change with speed and direction. No switch or button needed — just pull back and release.
No batteries, just pull back and go
The friction motor stores energy when you pull the car backward. Let go and it races forward, covering over 30 feet on smooth surfaces. No charging, no batteries — less screen time, more active play. The soft rubber tires grip well and handle quick turns.
Built for rough play
The car features a sturdy clear plastic body with #56 race decals. It can handle bumps, crashes, and repeated drops. The open-wheel design and soft tires keep it stable during fast runs. Kids can race it indoors on floors or outdoors on pavement.

How far will it go on one pull?
It can travel over 30 feet on a hard, smooth surface. The distance varies depending on how hard you pull back and the surface texture.
What ages is it suitable for?
This toy is recommended for kids ages 3 and older. Small parts may pose a choking hazard for children under 3.
