Can this be easily riden on gravel driveway or pasture? We live in the country and I am looking at something for my 5 year old son. Thanks!

Our 4 year old granddaughter rides this on our cement driveway and does OK on the gravel. It doesn't work in the grass.

So far we have only used it on concrete, but it's a sturdy thing, I would think it'd be ok on gravel...don't know from experience though

This pedal car is in snow country right now so can't tell you much about gravel or pasture. They have been riding on Blacktop drive for now. As for pasture might be hard as long grass, holes and is the 5 year old strong enough to push it thru rough terrain

I think it would be difficult for a 5 year old to ride on gravel or pasture unless the surface were hard and fairly level. The wheels are not as large as a bike and the mechanical advantage from the sprocket might make pedaling too difficult.

I also have a crushed stone driveway and it's not great on the driveway. The kids usually take it out on the road or to the park to ride them. I've watched them try to take them out on the grass and they end up having to push each other after they get stuck from time to time. But they still love to do it. My boys are 5 and 2.5 years and they absolutely love these go karts.

I'd say that gravel driveway, as long as the gravel isn't too deep, would probably work ok. The tires are not wide enough or aggressive enough to work well on wet grass or mud. I am using this as the basis for a homemade electric go kart and for that purpose, I've had to strengthen a few areas of it.

We bought this for my 5 year old son to ride on our stone driveway and crabgrass lawn. I think it would be easy to ride on concrete/asphalt - he makes it happen on what we've got.... Doesn't get very fast on the grass, but likes stirring up dust on the stone driveway. If your driveway is true gravel, like pebbles/stones, I think he'll have a heck of a hard time getting going.

I wouldn't recommend this kart for gravel. the wheels are hard plastic which enables it to drift easily but the gravel would chew them up really quickly, and i don't think you'd have much traction.

It rolls very easy outdoors. Gravel is the hardest to maneuver over. I love this rolater and love the way it folds up. Buy it.

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

Yes. My drive way is full of large gravel and I have a difficult time of it just trying not to turn my ankle. From the gate into the yard and to the back door is over rocky yard and clumps of grass. The distance is not even one mile, however, it is rough. No problem.The back wheels have a diameter of 9 inches, this makes the going much easier.

My son was 2 when we got it for him and he loved it, almost 4 now and he can still ride it. Had to replace battery this year but it was only 20 dollars. It is great if you have concrete or pavement but not good in grass or dirt.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

It rides okay in grass, dirt am not to sure about so I would not be able to answer that. There's no parks around that u can go to?

We've taken it on packed gravel but it wasn't comfortable to push. I try to stick to nicely paved paths with this stroller because of the small front wheel that can't take too many bumps.

It's only about 6 inches tall. Yes it would be fine for a gravel driveway with a bike, but not a skateboard. It's definitely 'mini'. Great for kids, but if you are a serious ramper or thrill seeker it would be disappointing. My son, 8, loves it & its perfect for him.

I've never tried rocks or outdoor gravel, however, the only slight problem I could forsee is impeding the rocking motion. It should definitely be on a stable surface that is even and doesn't tend to sink into the ground.

If you are talking about riding down the beach or gravel more than an inch or so it probably would not work, but a dirt road would not be a problem. Our son also rode it through 3" grass and it slows down but still works.

This is an awesome toy/bike. My grandchildren ages 6 to 11 love it. It is easy to handle and they love the way it turns in circles. We use it on a concrete driveway. I don't think it would be good for grass. May work ok on a hard dirt surface. It is very well made and was easy to assemble.

How old are your kiddos? It is harder to pedal in the grass but if your yard is flat and grass not too thick, should go okay. I have yet to find any pedal toy that rides great in the grass. It is definitely harder to pedal in the grass. My 3 year old struggles a bit in the grass, my 5 year old does a little better. Rides great on concrete, off curbs on street and in our gravel driveway. Hope this helps. Love the Berg bike for sure. Feel it was worth every penny!

Yes. I ride it down a gravel road and also inside an airplane hangar. It is best on a smooth surface.

My now 10y/o daughter has had no issues with it. She states it rides smooth on side walk (including uneven areas in our neighborhood) and asphalt road. She never rides it hard, i.e. racing. From my observations no safety issues with it.

If your child is strong enough to pedal it on the more resistant surface such as grass. My 5 YO can put not as easily as hard surfaces. FYI - this is a favorite toy in our household and is made in the USA.
