Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Vehicle runs
sluggishly
Undercharged battery
Charge the battery. A new battery should have
been charged for at least 18 hours before using
the vehicle for the first time. After first-time use,
recharge the battery for at least 12 hours after
each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30
hours. Check all connectors.
Make sure the battery connector is tightly
plugged into the charger connector, and that the
charger is plugged into the wall outlet.
Make sure that there is power flow to the wall
outlet.
Battery needs
charging
Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
Vehicle is overloaded
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle
by allowing more than one rider at one time,
exceeding the 65 Ibs. maximum weight capacity,
or by towing objects behind the vehicle. If
the vehicle is overloaded, the fuse may “trip”,
and automatically shut down operation of the
vehicle for approximately 2 minutes. Correct the
condition that lead to the overload and adjust the
driving conditions to prevent repeated automatic
shutdowns.
Driving conditions too
stressful
Use only on level ground.
Sometimes the
vehicle doesn’t
run, but other
times it does
Loose wire or
connector
Check all wires around the motors and all
connectors to make sure they are tight.
When the button
is pressed, the
vehicle won’t run
without a push
Check all wires around the motors and all
connectors to make sure they are tight.
The battery’s
fuse constantly
“trips”, but the
vehicle is not
overloaded
and the driving
conditions are
not severe
Damaged battery
Replace with new battery. Replace only with an
original 6 Volt (7 Amp/Hr.) battery. Do not use
non-original substitute parts.
Charger gets
warm during use
It is normal for some
chargers to get warm
during use and is not
reason for concern
Some chargers do not
get warm during use
No action required.
If your charger does not get warm during use, it
does not mean that it is not working properly.
Battery makes
a sizzling or
gurgling noise
when charging
It is normal for some
batteries to make
noise and swell
slightly while charging
and is not reason for
concern
No action required.
If your battery does not make noise or swell
slightly while charging, it does not mean that it is
not working properly.
