Solution

Mini-bike runs sluggishly

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been

 

 

charged for at least 18 hours before using the mini-bike for

 

 

the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at

 

 

least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery

 

 

longer than 30 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

Check all connections. Make sure the charger connector is

 

 

plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged

 

 

into the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on the mini-bike use and use conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels® 12 volt rechargeable battery. Do not substitute parts.
