I use 20V Dewalt 5Ahr batteries from my tools for the kids battery powered
rides. I reprogrammed one of my BLDC controls from work to power the brush
motors in an H bridge configuration so it has controlled acceleration on
FWD/REV. I also have a potentiometer to set the top speed so it can regulate
the battery voltage supplied to the motors between the stock 12V up to 20V
(they go pretty fast on this setting). I usually buy the Power Wheels with
dead batteries and rewire everything to work with my control. The grandkids
have 4 of them currently.

Ready for some fun? Here is Andrew Camarata (who has a
construction/maintenance channel), fixing up some toy electric cars. Instead
of replacing the batteries with the OEM batteries he is using Dewalt and
Ryobi power tool batteries. His EV amps/volts knowledge is not fantastic,
but it certainly is passable.
His attention to detail on the black jeep is extraordinary, he even polishes
it!
And his 2 dogs love to chase the cars and bite the wheels, and I do mean
bite while the wheels are running.
Watch how easily he makes modifications to the plastic panels to fit his new
controls. In another video he replaced the radio in his truck with a new one
that was larger, so he used his chain saw to enlarge the hole.
