PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Vehicle runs
sluggishly (cont.)
Vehicle is overloaded
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 50 lb.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in thermal
fuse in the battery may "trip." Once a fuse has "tripped,"
remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. Adjust the
driving conditions to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
