In the article it is said to be a "SPORTrax Awesome XL", which does not appear
to be a Powerwheels product.
It is described as 4WD, and is remote controllable (for parental override) as
well as the normal occupant-controllable.
Perhaps most importantly, it requires 2 12-volt batteries (12V 10Ah per the
product description; Powerwheels use a pair of 6-volt), and the batteries do
*not* appear to be included! So, it is entirely possible that the buyer of
this toy installed inappropriate batteries:
