Specialist Toy Stores Online/Offline
Adventure Toys
Adventure Toys is actually situated on a farm. They also sells toys. Looks like they have been around for a while and have some decent reviews.
It looks like they dabble in quite a few different product categories.
Unfortunately, we don't have any more information on them.
Outdoor Toys
They have just been sold (2021) to an large European conglomerate. We believe the founder still steers the ship. They have a good range of ride on toys and they also sell a a lot of outdoor toys such as swings and slides, etc.
Here's a breakdown of some of their reviews this month.

Out of all of the retailers on this list. You'll likely recognise Smyths as the main toy retailer in the UK.
Here's a breakdown of some of their reviews this month.
Large Stores and Supermarkets:
Large stores and supermarkets don't really specialise in ride on toys. They are simply an add-on to the other products they sell.
This means their staff don't have the product knowledge and if things go wrong the will unlikely offer to repair the product.
They display a lot of the less powerful toys that run on 6V and collectively ship millions of these types of toys.
In most cases "some" of these large companies will drop ship. This means they will display the products on their website, but, they don't actually hold stock of them.
Fulfillment is normally carried out by a fulfillment centre and oftentimes by the Chinese manufacturer that also happens to have a few warehouses here in the UK.
Note: Not all operate on this type of dropship basis, but most do.
