WEEE REGULATIONS.

RECYCLING HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

With effect from July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations require that all producers of electrical equipment pay for the recycling of household electrical goods. Previously, this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure, and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.

So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, Ride on Warehouse contributes towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.

Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods but to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk. You can use your postcode to find local recycling facilities where you can take your unwanted items.

Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind consumers of the collection methods available, which in turn allow recycling to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the 'crossed out wheeled bin' symbol. To ensure your waste electronics don't contribute to damaging the environment, visit www.recycle-more.co.uk for further details on how to recycle more efficiently.

3) FAQ

A. Yes. Our ride on cars come with a 12 month return to base warranty, except for our graded items. This warranty does not cover the battery which has a finite life. The warranty for the rechargeable battery is three months from the date of receipt. Replacement batteries are readily available at a low cost if necessary. This means, if your ride on car develops a fault in the first 12 months, you need to return the item to us at your own cost, we will effect the repair and return to you at our cost. Most issues can be resolved remotely using small spare parts, we would always attempt to work with you first to determine the cause of the problem and resolve it using spare parts, sent to you free of charge.
The warranty becomes void, in case of shock, misuse or expiration of the warranty period

PLEASE NOTE: The exception to this is our graded section - all graded models purchased from here will carry a 30 day warranty. They are non-refundable but we will supply any parts required for full functionality.

A. The parental remote control is a superb feature which allows the controls of the car to be over-ridden by a remote control.

The car itself will work from the 'in car' pedal and steering controls, or can be switched to be operated from the remote control. The remote controls forwards, backward and steering left/right and has a range of approximately 100 feet.

A. The mp3 input is a standard size 3.5mm socket (the same as a headphones socket) that you can plug any standard mp3 player, radio or personal CD player in to.
