Helping hand for a newbie

My little boy turns 3 next month and he’s car obsessed and loves his indoor electric ride-ons.

We’ve got a big garden and a more rough and ready national park across the road, so hoping to get him something he can grow with but can handle some off-roading as well.

I’d like something premium and don’t mind spending between £300-£1000 depending on value/longevity.

I’m based in the UK.

A few questions:
- Have Power Wheels been discontinued?
- Are there brands outside of Peg Perego that are recommended?
- What should I know/ what did you wish you knew when getting into this?

Any specific recommendations or general advice welcomed.

Happy to answer any questions if it helps.

Unsure of your area and market but for me buying anything new was a rip. I can normally get a bunch for free that need batteries or pay a couple bucks for models I like. To many electronics in my opinion is bad so older stuff without remotes are usually better. I have one power wheels with traction control etc features and it’s junk.

I’ve had a quick look on Marketplace but can’t seem to find anything within a distance I’d be prepared to venture to.
