Troubleshooting

Vehicle Does Not Run Or Suddenly Stops

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. Battery should be charged before first use. After every use, recharge the battery until the LED light turns from RED to GREEN. Never charge the battery longer than 18 hours.
 
Check battery connections during charging. Check all wires and connectors. Make sure that they are connected properly. See assembly steps 9 and 23.
 
Make sure wall outlet power is “ON.”

Charger is not working

Ensure that the LED light on the charger is RED while charging. Contact Radio Flyer Customer Service if LED light is not on.

Tripped Thermal Fuse/Switch

Thermal switch may have tripped because the vehicle was overloaded or the driving conditions were too severe. Once the switch/fuse has tripped, release the button on the handlebar and wait 15 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid tripping the fuse, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 86.0 lb (39.0 kg) maximum weight capacity. Do not pull anything behind the vehicle or drive up hills as it will trip the fuse. Do not run into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning and ultimately trip the fuse.

Loose Wire/Connector

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure that they are connected properly. See assembly steps 9 and 23.
