We first saw the $519 Droyd Fury at Toy Fair 2023 before its release. My then-10-year-old daughter took it for a quick spin around the show floor and promptly requested a sample, which brings us to this review.
The Droyd Fury is an ATV designed for kids aged 6 and up but rugged enough to carry an adult. It is compact (40 x 24 x 24 inches), making it easy to fit through doorways or into the back of our SUV.
The build quality is as durable as expected for a product designed for children. The top of the unit is primarily plastic, but the metal frame underneath gives it that solid feel and provides a sturdy lifting spot.

Though it might feel small for 8 to 10-year-olds, they’ll have no trouble zipping around as long as they are under the 150-pound limit. Although it can support the weight of two small kids, that is not its intended use. I also recommend wearing a helmet when riding.
The Fury arrived securely packed and about 80 percent assembled. The instructions were straightforward, and the Fury was ready to roll in about 10 minutes. It arrived with some charge, so we did a quick test to ensure everything worked before plugging it back in. Reaching a full charge when fully drained takes about 6-8 hours.
For a more realistic feel, the Fury features a key ignition for starting it and a separate parental key for adjusting the top speed. Young riders can get the Fury moving with a traditional twist throttle. Parents can also use the key to lock the Fury to a maximum speed of 10 mph or unlock it for a maximum top speed of 15 mph. In addition, the front and rear lights illuminate from fender to fender, making the Fury visible in low light. These can be turned on and off with a button on the handlebars. With front and rear disc brakes, we found the vehicle’s stopping ability should be safe and reliable in most weather conditions. The Fury is equipped with fat knobby tires that offer good traction while offroading along with a front and rear suspension, perfect for adventurous people.
Aside from me (as I’m well over the weight limit), everyone in my household — my daughter, son, and partner — took it for a spin. My partner’s reaction was that “it was cool as fcuk,” and my daughter loved it, though my teenage son tried to act cool despite being too big for it. Depending on the rider’s size, the Fury can travel between 8 and 10 miles on a full charge, providing approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour of riding time.
The Droyd Fury is perfect for encouraging kids to enjoy the outdoors from an early age. It’s especially ideal for families where parents or older siblings ride ATVs, ensuring no one gets left behind. Its compact size makes it convenient to transport, especially if you have an SUV, making it a great trip companion.
