Speed controlled switching system for a ride-on vehicle
First Claim
1. A ride-on vehicle having a speed controlled switching system, comprising:
- a vehicle body having a driver'"'"'s seat for a rider;
a plurality of wheels supporting the vehicle body;
a motor connected to at least one of the plurality of wheels;
a battery electrically connected to the motor;
a direction switch assembly electrically connected between the battery and the motor, the direction switch assembly having a forward button and a reverse button; and
,a speed switch electrically connected between the direction switch assembly and the motor, the speed switch being separate from the direction switch assembly, and the speed switch having a high speed setting and a low speed setting, wherein when the reverse button of the direction switch assembly is actuated it removes control of a speed of the motor from the speed switch, wherein when the forward button of the direction switch assembly is actuated it causes the speed switch to control the speed of the motor, and wherein the direction switch assembly is proximal the driver'"'"'s seat in the vehicle body, and wherein the speed switch is distal the driver'"'"'s seat and generally not accessible by a rider seated in the driver'"'"'s seat.

Abstract
A ride-on vehicle is provided that has a speed controlled switching system. The ride-on vehicle has a vehicle body having a driver'"'"'s seat, a plurality of wheels, a motor, a battery electrically connected to the motor, a direction switch assembly electrically connected between the battery and the motor, and a speed switch electrically connected between the direction switch assembly and the motor. The direction switch assembly has a forward button and a reverse button, and is proximal the driver'"'"'s seat in the vehicle body. The speed switch has a high speed setting and a low speed setting and is distal the driver'"'"'s seat and generally not accessible by a rider seated in the driver'"'"'s seat. When the reverse button is actuated the direction switch assembly causes the voltage observed by the motor to be at the low speed setting regardless of the setting of the speed switch.
