What are the next step ups from Power Wheels for kids?

I'm assuming youth 4 wheeler? My kids are a little older now so looking to maybe get them something with more power. Not really wanting to go motorcycle yet. Go Karts aren't really a thing? They all look like junk? So it looks like 70-90cc 4 wheelers? Not sure moms going to go for that.
We live on a quiet street so was looking for something to play with in the neighborhood and then take to the land when we go. Not trying to redneck 40k millionaire it either with a $3,000 toy. Just wanted to explore the options?

A bicycle. Kids should peddle themselves around.

Lol, I know. My kids have nice bikes and we ride them often.
Like I said not trying to go crazy but I also don't think its the worst idea to teach them to drive when they are younger.

Yeah I'm going to check those out, probably the best option. My concern is I have 3 kids and the batter life is only 30-60 mins. Would much prefer gas but they seem solid especially for just around the hood.

We went up to the Razor ATV. Really good product.

Amen to that. Get them outside for some exercise-----and not simply twisting the throttle on the right handlebar.

Depends on the age. Also, what terrain is this said land made up of? Young and a lot of neighborhood time, the razor dirt quad. Heck my son has one and I had to turn it down for him to learn on it by installing a potentiometer. If more riding at the land will be taking place get a name brand gas atv. Stay far away from those sold at the tractor supply style places.

We have 10 acres or so of grass around the camp house. Mostly looking for that. Not looking for any crazy off road ability.
More looking for something that is the best combo of neighborhood street plus light off road in dry conditions.

My kids are 9-10 and I bought them each one of these last year for Christmas. They can zip around the neighborhood and it will ride on hard ground off road as well. Probably wouldn't be too great on deep gravel though.

Ours was a golf cart. Don't go out and get a $7k custom cart. In fact, I'd look for a semi dinged up $500-1500 special.
I'm not big on 4 wheelers due to having a few friends having serious accidents on them when I was in High school including a death. I'm not saying it's necessarily valid for me to avoid them, but it is what it is.

If you introduce 4wheelers into the equation, you no longer have a quiet street.
Something for your kids to ride around the camp is one thing, its another putting your kids on the road where they will lose to any other vehicle they run into. Plus, you will just be the people the neighbors talk about.
Edit to add: This isn't personal. We have an issue in our neighborhood with one set of parents letting their children run wild on 4wheelers. They have hit mailboxes, other cars etc. Anyone knows some kid that got seriously hurt riding 4wheelers. My son is about to be 12 and he knows not to ride a 4wheeler on the road. We keep ours at the camp and he has 500 acres to ride all he wants, but never on the road.

This. The dumb stuff we did on 4 wheelers, I can't believe we all made it out in one piece. I still remember some good bruise-ups 20 years later, and I have a few good wedding stories to roast my buddies with. I personally did a lot of dumb crap as a young man around 18yo is apt to do.
Then you have a good friend of mine's son that died. He was a top student, very responsible, summer before college and a varsity athletics scholarship. A freak accident and he's gone. A truly gifted human being and great person, too.

I'm sorry, but that's more sad than anything.
If you must, a crf50 is 1500 bucks. But it's made in China.
Your better bet is the trx90 from honda or the pw50 from yamaha. Both made in japan.
