Dad-to-dad

Fast, but never reckless

Every derby build gets a kill switch on a parent lanyard — you pull it, everything stops. Non-negotiable.
Pickup includes a full parent walkthrough: charging, care, and what the new speed actually feels like.
Modified ride-ons are quicker than factory. Helmets on and a grown-up watching, every single run.
