Beginner Use - Low Speed Drive

As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed

(21/2 mph, maximum). It has been pre-set so it will only operate in low speed. After your child has mastered the basic skills of driving and understands the rules for safe driving, it’s time to remove the high speed lock-out screw to allow the vehicle to operate in low or high speed. See the instructions on this page to remove the high speed lock-out screw.
