Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Ride-On
Our Power Wheels Mercedes-Benz 300 SL brings iconic automotive design to your driveway with officially licensed styling that captures every detail of the legendary sports car. Young drivers ages 3 to 7 years will experience the thrill of two-speed acceleration—2.5 mph for beginners and 5 mph for confident cruisers—while parents enjoy the security of our Power-Lock brake system that stops automatically when the foot pedal is released.
We engineered the 300 SL with a spacious cockpit, working doors, and realistic dashboard details including a functional horn and race-inspired steering wheel. The wide, stable wheelbase delivers confident handling on grass, dirt, and pavement, while the 12-volt rechargeable battery provides extended playtime adventure after adventure.
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL specifications & features
Authentic Mercedes-Benz Design & Build Quality
We partnered directly with Mercedes-Benz to recreate the timeless 300 SL profile that turned heads in showrooms and on racetracks decades ago. Every curve of the molded body reflects the original’s aerodynamic silhouette, from the distinctive grille with the three-pointed star emblem to the chrome-look accents that line the profile.
The steel frame chassis provides the structural integrity we demand in every Power Wheels vehicle, supporting up to 130 pounds while maintaining ride stability across varied terrain. Our high-impact plastic body panels resist fading and cracking even after seasons of outdoor adventure, and the glossy finish wipes clean with a damp cloth after muddy expeditions.
Two-Speed Driving System & Safety Features
The 300 ride-on features our proven two-speed driving system that lets you match performance to your child’s skill level and confidence. First gear delivers a gentle 2.5 mph pace perfect for new drivers learning steering coordination and spatial awareness, while second gear unlocks a thrilling 5 mph top speed that feels genuinely fast from the driver’s seat.
Parents control which speeds are available using the high-speed lockout switch located under the hood—simply disable second gear until your child masters the basics, then unlock full performance when they’re ready. The reverse function operates at the slower speed for safer backing maneuvers in tight spaces.
Battery Performance & Charging
Every Mercedes-Benz 300 SL includes our 12-volt rechargeable battery and wall charger, delivering the power young drivers need for extended play sessions. A full charge typically provides 1-2 hours of continuous driving depending on terrain, rider weight, and speed selection—ample time for neighborhood cruises or backyard adventures.
We recommend charging the battery for at least 18 hours before first use, then 14 hours after each play session to maintain optimal performance and longevity. The battery compartment features tool-free access under the hood, making battery removal simple when you need to charge indoors during winter months.

Common Questions About the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Ride-On
We designed the 300 SL for children ages 3 to 7 years with a maximum weight capacity of 130 pounds. The spacious cockpit and adjustable driving position accommodate growing kids comfortably throughout this age range.
The two-speed system lets you match performance to your child’s developmental stage—slower speeds for beginners just learning coordination, faster speeds for confident drivers. Most families find their children use the vehicle actively for 3-4 years before outgrowing the size or speed.
A fully charged 12-volt battery typically provides 1 to 2 hours of continuous driving depending on several factors. Lighter riders, smooth terrain like driveways, and lower speed settings maximize runtime, while heavier loads, thick grass, and high-speed driving reduce it.
We recommend charging the battery for 14 hours after each use to maintain optimal performance. The included charger features automatic shutoff to prevent overcharging. For best longevity, avoid letting the battery fully discharge during play—recharge when you notice reduced speed or power.
Yes, the 300 SL handles grass, dirt, gravel, and pavement confidently thanks to high-traction wheels and sufficient ground clearance. The vehicle performs best on flat to gently sloping terrain—we recommend avoiding steep hills above 5 degrees that can strain the motor and reduce battery life.
On thick or wet grass, you may notice slightly reduced speed and shorter battery runtime compared to smooth pavement. For optimal performance across all surfaces, keep the tires clean and ensure the battery maintains a full charge before play sessions.
You’ll need only a standard Phillips-head screwdriver to assemble the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL—no specialized tools required. We designed the vehicle with intuitive click-together components and color-coded wiring that make assembly straightforward even for those who don’t regularly build toys.
Most parents complete assembly in 45 to 60 minutes following our illustrated instruction manual. The battery arrives pre-installed in some configurations but requires an initial 18-hour charge before first use. We include all necessary hardware and fasteners in the box.
Absolutely—the parent-controlled high-speed lockout is one of our most valued safety features. The switch located under the hood lets you physically disable second gear, limiting the 300 to the 2.5 mph low speed until you decide your child is ready for the faster 5 mph setting.
When combined with our Power-Lock automatic braking system, the lockout gives parents complete control over the vehicle’s performance envelope. You can enable and disable high speed as often as needed—many families lock it to low speed when younger siblings or visiting children take turns driving.
Regular care keeps your 300 SL running beautifully for years. After each play session, wipe down the body with a damp cloth to remove dirt before it hardens. Store the vehicle in a covered area like a garage or shed to protect electrical components from weather.
Charge the battery every 30 days during periods of non-use to prevent deep discharge. Inspect wheels, connections, and body panels periodically for wear—we stock all replacement parts through our customer care team. Before winter storage, clean thoroughly, disconnect the battery, and store it indoors where temperatures stay above freezing.
Yes, we manufacture the 300 SL under official license from Mercedes-Benz, ensuring authentic styling, badging, and design details that replicate the legendary sports car. Every element from the three-pointed star emblem to the body curves meets Mercedes-Benz brand standards for accuracy.
This partnership allows us to deliver the premium experience families expect from the Mercedes-Benz name while applying our decades of expertise in safe, durable ride-on vehicle engineering. The official licensing guarantees you’re getting genuine Power Wheels quality backed by both our warranty and the Mercedes-Benz legacy.
