FAQ #1: The Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX quad is available in how many designs?
Answer: At the time of writing, the quad is available in 6 different designs: Black & Red, Chrome Accents, Green, Chrome Accents with Hot Wheels decals, Pink with Barbie decals, and Green with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles decals. I think the Chrome Accents design looks the most stylish. If you’re planning on buying the quad for a girl, then it’s hard to go wrong with the Pink Barbie decals.
FAQ #2: What is the toy’s maximum weight capacity?
Answer: The maximum weight capacity is 65 pounds. Do not exceed this weight, or the vehicle is likely to shut down. The quad is equipped with thermal fuse, and exceeding the weight capacity might trigger the automatic shutdown feature.
FAQ #3: Does it come with a real working FM radio?

If you want ride-on toys with FM radio, please check out models such as Power Wheels Ford F-150, Power Wheels Barbie Deluxe Jeep Wrangler, Power Wheels Cadillac Escalade EXT 12V Electric Ride-On Truck, Peg Perego John Deere Ground Force Tractor with Trailer, and Kid Trax Dodge Viper SRT 12V Ride On.
