Mechanical Energy
Mechanical energy is not produced in a toy car. Instead, the toy car converts potential energy (stored energy) into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as it moves. The mechanical energy in the toy car comes from the energy used to make it move, not from being produced within the toy itself.
You can power a toy car by using batteries or rechargeable battery packs. The batteries supply electrical energy to the electric motor in the toy car, which then converts the energy into motion to make the car move.

A slot car toy is an automatic toy car and can move by itself and a regular toy car you move yourself. The only difference is they can speed on their own!
When we wind up a toy, we are converting mechanical energy (from our muscles) into potential energy stored in the toy's spring or mechanism. As the spring unwinds, this potential energy is transformed back into mechanical energy, causing the toy to move.
One way to make a car toy move without force or balloons is by using a rubber band-powered mechanism. Wind up the rubber band by turning a key or winding a mechanism, and then let it unwind to provide the energy needed to move the car toy. As the rubber band unwinds, it will transfer its stored energy to the wheels of the car, propelling it forward.
