The sit, slide and glide ride for preteens is available from autumn this year.

Rollplay has revealed Nighthawk – a new addition to its ride-on portfolio. With its leading-edge design creating a new sub-segment of ride-on toys, kids can glide through curves and feel the control of the Rollplay Nighthawk as they learn how to master the unique riding action.

Riders steer the Nighthawk by leaning into the curve, while gas and brake pedals allow variable speed control. Handlebars placed on either side of the seat protect hands and offer complete control, and there’s a rear flag for safety.

With a two metre turning radius, Nighthawk runs at a max speed of 12 km/h for kids six years plus. The 12V battery is quickly rechargeable overnight and has a run time of approximately 60 minutes

Nighthawk will be supported in the UK by a heavyweight marketing and in store campaign, which will focus on the build-up to Christmas.
