It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both only

low speed. This does not necessarily indicate a problem.

the rear wheels off the ground and pressing the foot pedal.  
 
 
If only one rear wheel spins, carefully press your hand on   
 
 
the spinning wheel to slow it down. The other rear wheel    
 
 
should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel does not begin  
 
 
to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle. Contact

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 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery  
 
 
longer than 30 hours. 
 
 
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector
