Best Kids UTVs in Canada: Complete 24V UTV & Dune Buggy Guide
Best Kids UTVs in Canada: The Complete Guide to 24V UTVs, 2-Seater Dune Buggies & Electric Ride-On UTVs
If your child has outgrown a small ride-on car and you are looking for something bigger, stronger and more capable, a kids UTV can be one of the most exciting electric ride-on vehicles you can buy.
But not all kids UTVs are built the same.
Some are small plastic ride-on vehicles designed mainly for smooth surfaces. Others are much larger 24V electric UTVs and dune buggies with four-wheel drive, powerful motors, rubber tires, suspension, metal chassis construction, two seats and substantially higher weight capacities.
For Canadian families looking for a premium kids UTV, the important question is not simply, "How many volts is it?"
You should also look at the motor power, drivetrain, tires, chassis, suspension, seating, weight capacity, battery, parental controls, size and availability of replacement parts and after-sales support.
At SonicTeck, we specialize in premium ride-on vehicles and carry some of the largest and most heavily equipped kids UTVs available to Canadian families.
Two of our flagship models are the Apex XXL 24V 4x4 Ride-On UTV and the Turbo XXL 24V 4x4 UTV Dune Buggy.
Both are designed for families looking for a serious, large-format two-seater electric UTV rather than a basic children's ride-on vehicle.
What Is a Kids UTV?
A kids UTV is a battery-powered electric ride-on vehicle designed to give children a UTV or side-by-side style driving experience.
UTV stands for Utility Terrain Vehicle. In the kids' ride-on category, the term is commonly used for larger side-by-side-style electric vehicles that typically feature two seats, a steering wheel, accelerator pedal and off-road-inspired styling.
A kids UTV may also be called:
-
Kids electric UTV
-
Kids UTV
-
24V kids UTV
-
Electric UTV for kids
-
Ride-on UTV
-
Kids side-by-side
-
Kids side by side
-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Electric ride-on vehicle
The terminology can vary depending on what a parent searches for, but the underlying goal is usually the same: finding a larger electric ride-on vehicle that can accommodate children comfortably and provide a more realistic outdoor driving experience.
Why Choose a 24V Kids UTV?
One of the first specifications parents notice is the voltage.
12V ride-on vehicles can be excellent for younger children and simpler applications, but families looking for a larger UTV-style vehicle often move toward a 24V electric ride-on UTV.
A 24V system can support a larger vehicle platform and more powerful motor configuration.
However, voltage alone does not tell you how powerful a UTV is.
For example, when comparing two 24V UTVs, you should also investigate:
How many motors does it have?
How many watts are the motors?
Is it 2WD or 4x4?
What type of tires does it use?
Does it have suspension?
What is the weight capacity?
Does it have a metal chassis?
Is it actually large enough for two riders?
These specifications can make a major difference in the overall driving experience.
What Makes a Premium Kids UTV Different?
A premium kids UTV should be evaluated as a complete vehicle rather than by one specification.
At SonicTeck, we believe the best electric UTVs should combine power, size, construction, comfort and long-term support.
Here are some of the most important features to consider.
1. Motor Power
Motor wattage is one of the most useful specifications when comparing electric ride-on vehicles.
The SonicTeck Apex XXL and Turbo XXL use four 200W motors for a total of 800W.
That is a substantial motor configuration for a children's electric UTV and is designed to provide strong traction and power across all four wheels.
More motor power does not automatically mean that a vehicle is appropriate for every child or every terrain, but it is an important consideration when comparing large UTVs.
2. True 4x4 Drive
If you are shopping specifically for an off-road-style kids UTV, the drivetrain matters.
The Apex XXL and Turbo XXL feature 4x4 drive, with power delivered through four motors.
Four-wheel drive can be particularly useful when riding on outdoor surfaces where traction varies.
Parents shopping for a UTV for grass, gravel, dirt paths or other outdoor recreational surfaces should look beyond the word "UTV" and check whether the vehicle actually has the drivetrain, tires and suspension to match the intended use.
3. Two Seats for Siblings and Friends
One of the biggest advantages of a kids UTV is the two-seat configuration.
A 2-seater kids UTV allows two children to ride together, subject to the manufacturer's weight and rider requirements.
This makes a large side-by-side-style UTV particularly appealing to families with siblings.
Instead of purchasing two separate small ride-on vehicles, a large two-seater UTV can give children a shared driving experience.
The Apex XXL and Turbo XXL are both designed around a spacious two-seat configuration.
The seats are also designed with comfort and adjustability in mind.
4. High Weight Capacity Matters
Weight capacity is one of the most overlooked specifications when parents compare ride-on vehicles.
A vehicle can look large in photographs but still have a relatively low maximum load rating.
The SonicTeck Apex XXL and Turbo XXL have a 120 kg maximum weight capacity according to their current product specifications.
That gives families considerably more flexibility when choosing a larger ride-on vehicle for siblings or bigger children.
Parents should always consider the combined weight of the riders and follow the manufacturer's stated specifications.
Weight capacity should never be treated as an indication that a vehicle is suitable for every age, size or riding situation.
5. Metal Chassis and Stronger Construction
Construction is another major difference between basic ride-on toys and premium UTV-style vehicles.
The SonicTeck Apex XXL uses a heavy-duty metal chassis, while the Turbo XXL is also built around a full metal chassis and reinforced body structure.
A stronger chassis gives the vehicle a more substantial foundation and complements the larger motors, suspension and outdoor-oriented design.
When shopping for a premium kids UTV, don't just look at the body styling.
Ask what is underneath it.
6. Rubber Tires for Outdoor Riding
Tires can have a major effect on the feel of a ride-on vehicle.
The Apex XXL features real rubber tires, while the Turbo XXL uses EVA rubber off-road tires.
These tires are designed for an outdoor-oriented ride-on experience and can provide different characteristics from basic hard plastic wheels.
For families comparing kids UTVs for grass, pavement, gravel and backyard use, tire construction is an important specification to check.
7. Suspension Makes a Difference
A large UTV should not only be powerful. It should also be designed to handle the type of surfaces families intend to use it on.
The Apex XXL features lifted suspension, while the Turbo XXL features raised aggressive suspension.
Suspension helps the vehicle deal with bumps and uneven outdoor surfaces more comfortably than a basic ride-on vehicle without a comparable suspension setup.
Of course, no children's ride-on vehicle should be treated as a full-size off-road recreational vehicle. Terrain, rider weight and operating conditions always matter.

What Is the Best Kids UTV for Bigger Children?
There is no single UTV that is automatically best for every child.
However, if your priority is finding a large kids UTV for bigger children, several specifications become especially important.
Look for:
-
A high weight capacity
-
A spacious two-seat cabin
-
Adjustable seats
-
A larger chassis
-
Stronger motors
-
24V power
-
4x4 capability
-
Rubber or EVA off-road tires
-
Suspension
-
Seat belts
-
Parental remote control
The Apex XXL and Turbo XXL were specifically designed around these priorities.
Their 120 kg weight capacity and large two-seat layouts make them substantially different from smaller single-seat ride-on cars.
Always measure your child and compare their size and combined rider weight with the manufacturer's specifications before purchasing.
Can Two Kids Ride in a Kids UTV?
Yes, a two-seater kids UTV is specifically designed to allow two riders when used within the manufacturer's specifications.
This is one of the biggest advantages of a side-by-side-style ride-on vehicle.
A two-seat UTV can be ideal for:
-
Siblings
-
Cousins
-
Friends
-
Backyard adventures
-
Outdoor family activities
Parents should always make sure the combined rider weight remains within the vehicle's maximum weight capacity and that both riders are appropriately sized for the vehicle.
Can Kids UTVs Drive on Grass?
Many appropriately equipped kids UTVs can be used recreationally on grass.
However, not every ride-on vehicle performs the same way.
If grass is an important part of your intended use, look for:
-
4x4 drive
-
Rubber tires
-
Adequate motor power
-
Suspension
-
Appropriate ground clearance
-
A durable chassis
The Apex XXL and Turbo XXL combine 4x4 drive, four 200W motors, outdoor-oriented tires, suspension and large chassis designs.
Very wet, deep, soft or uneven ground can still affect an electric ride-on vehicle.
Can a Kids UTV Drive on Gravel?
A properly equipped kids UTV can be suitable for recreational use on appropriate gravel surfaces.
But gravel is very different from a smooth driveway.
When comparing vehicles for gravel, consider:
Tires: Off-road-oriented rubber or EVA tires can provide better suitability for outdoor surfaces.
Drivetrain: 4x4 can provide power to all four wheels.
Suspension: Helps the vehicle deal with bumps and uneven surfaces.
Chassis: A stronger chassis is an important consideration for a larger outdoor vehicle.
The SonicTeck Apex XXL and Turbo XXL were designed with these outdoor-oriented characteristics.
Always inspect the riding area and avoid terrain that is excessively steep, deep, wet, loose or otherwise unsuitable for the vehicle.
How Fast Is a 24V Kids UTV?
Speed varies by model.
The SonicTeck Apex XXL has a maximum speed of up to 9 km/h, while the Turbo XXL is also rated for up to 9 km/h.
The Turbo XXL also includes adjustable speed settings.
A higher top speed is not necessarily the most important feature when purchasing a children's UTV.
For many families, the combination of controllable speed, parental remote control, braking, seat belts, visibility and an appropriate riding environment is much more important.
Do Kids UTVs Come With a Remote Control?
Premium kids UTVs commonly include a parental remote control.
The Apex XXL and Turbo XXL both include parent remote controls.
A remote allows an adult to supervise and control the vehicle when necessary.
This can be particularly useful for younger or inexperienced riders.
Parents should still supervise children closely and use the vehicle only in appropriate environments.
A remote control is an additional control feature, not a substitute for adult supervision.
Can the Child Drive the UTV Themselves?
Yes.
The Apex XXL includes independent kids driving controls, allowing the child to operate the vehicle using the steering wheel and accelerator pedal.
The Turbo XXL also provides a self-driving experience with steering and pedal controls.
This creates two different ways to use a kids UTV:
Parent-controlled: The adult operates the vehicle with the remote.
Child-controlled: The child drives the vehicle themselves when the parent determines it is appropriate.
This makes a premium UTV more versatile as children become more comfortable with driving.
How Long Does a 24V Kids UTV Battery Last?
Run time depends on many factors, including:
-
Rider weight
-
Terrain
-
Speed
-
Number of riders
-
Frequency of stopping and starting
-
Battery condition
-
Temperature
-
Surface type
The Turbo XXL is currently listed with a run time of up to approximately 1.5 hours.
Actual riding time can vary considerably depending on how the vehicle is used.
The Apex XXL uses a 24V 7Ah battery.
Parents should always fully charge the battery according to the manufacturer's instructions before use and follow the recommended charging procedure.
Is a 24V UTV Better Than a 12V Ride-On Car?
Not necessarily for every child.
A 12V ride-on vehicle can be an excellent choice for a younger child or for families looking for a smaller, simpler vehicle.
A 24V UTV makes more sense when the family wants:
-
More substantial motor power
-
A larger vehicle
-
Two seats
-
Outdoor capability
-
4x4 drive
-
Larger tires
-
Suspension
-
Higher weight capacity
-
A more realistic UTV experience
The right vehicle depends on the child's size, experience, intended riding environment and the features the family values most.
Kids UTV vs Kids ATV: What's the Difference?
The biggest difference is the seating and vehicle layout.
A traditional ATV is generally designed as a single-rider vehicle with a straddle-style seat and handlebar steering.
A kids UTV is generally designed more like a miniature side-by-side vehicle, with:
-
One or two seats
-
Steering wheel
-
Foot pedal
-
Side-by-side seating
-
UTV-style body
-
Doors or side protection on some models
-
Roll-bar-style styling on some models
-
Parent remote control on many electric ride-on models
If your priority is riding with a sibling or friend, a 2-seater kids UTV is usually the more appropriate category to investigate.
Kids UTV vs Dune Buggy: What's the Difference?
The terms are often used interchangeably in the electric ride-on market.
A dune buggy generally emphasizes an open, off-road-inspired recreational design, while UTV or side-by-side emphasizes the vehicle's utility-style or side-by-side configuration.
Many modern children's electric vehicles can reasonably be described using both terms.
For example, a large 24V 4x4 two-seater can be marketed and searched for as a:
24V kids UTV
Kids dune buggy
24V electric dune buggy
2-seater kids UTV
4x4 ride-on UTV
Kids side-by-side
These search terms can describe overlapping products, which is why it is important to look at the actual specifications instead of relying only on the product name.
Why Buy a Premium Kids UTV From SonicTeck?
Buying a large electric UTV is about more than the vehicle itself.
A premium ride-on vehicle is a long-term purchase, and parents should consider what happens after the sale.
SonicTeck is a Canadian-owned company specializing in premium ride-on vehicles and electric recreational products.
Our focus is on offering higher-quality models with features such as larger frames, stronger motor configurations, higher weight capacities, metal chassis construction and premium components.
We also understand that an electric ride-on vehicle contains electrical and mechanical components that may eventually require service or replacement.
That's why SonicTeck provides after-sales support and replacement parts for many of the vehicles we sell.
Depending on the model, replacement components can include items such as:
-
Batteries
-
Chargers
-
Remote controls
-
Motherboards/control boards
-
Other model-specific components
This is an important consideration that is sometimes overlooked when comparing online sellers.
A ride-on vehicle should not become disposable simply because a component eventually needs replacement.
Why After-Sales Support Matters When Buying a Kids UTV
Imagine purchasing a large 24V UTV and several months later needing a replacement remote, charger or battery.
If the seller cannot provide support or replacement components, even a good vehicle can become frustrating to own.
When shopping for a premium kids UTV, ask the seller:
Do you sell replacement parts?
Can I purchase a replacement remote?
Are replacement batteries available?
Can I get a replacement charger?
Do you provide technical support?
Is there after-sales service?
These questions matter because an electric ride-on vehicle is a machine with batteries, motors, wiring, controllers and mechanical components.
SonicTeck maintains a parts and support ecosystem for its ride-on products to help customers continue enjoying their vehicles long after the initial purchase.
What Should You Look For When Buying a Kids UTV in Canada?
Before buying, use this checklist.
Power
Look for the voltage and total motor wattage.
Drivetrain
Determine whether the vehicle is 2WD or 4x4.
Seating
If two children need to ride together, choose a genuine two-seater.
Weight Capacity
Check the manufacturer's maximum weight rating.
Tires
For outdoor use, investigate whether the vehicle has rubber or EVA off-road tires.
Suspension
Suspension is especially useful when the vehicle will be used outdoors.
Chassis
A metal chassis can provide a more substantial foundation than a basic plastic-frame ride-on.
Battery
Check the battery voltage and amp-hour rating.
Remote Control
A parent remote provides an additional level of control.
Seat Belts
For two-seater UTVs, check whether belts are included.
Size
Do not judge size from photographs alone. Check the actual vehicle dimensions.
Replacement Parts
Find out whether batteries, chargers, remotes and electronic components are available.
After-Sales Service
A reputable seller should be able to help after the sale.

Final Thoughts: Choose the UTV, Not Just the Price
When comparing kids UTVs, it can be tempting to choose based solely on price.
But the cheapest vehicle is not necessarily the best value.
A better approach is to compare the entire vehicle:
24V power + motor wattage + 4x4 drivetrain + tires + suspension + chassis + seating + weight capacity + battery + remote control + replacement parts + after-sales support.
That is how you can tell the difference between a basic ride-on vehicle and a genuinely premium electric UTV.
