Problem
Probable Cause
Solution
The GO KART does not run.
1) The switch on the steering wheel is in the OFF position.
2) You are stepping on the brake pedal.
3) The Power Shut off “T” handle is not attached .
4) The battery is low.
5) The CIRCUIT BREAKER is blown.
6) The charger is not working
7) The battery is dead
8) The wires are loose.
1) Move the switch on the steering wheel to the on position.
2) Step off the brake and apply pressure to the accelerator
pedal. The brake pedal cuts all current to the motor
when the brake is applied.
3) Make sure the power shut off “T” handle is properly
plugged into the back of the vehicle.
4) Charge the battery.
5) Refer to page 18 to reset.
6) Check to see if the wall socket is in the “ON” position
and the POWER LED light is on on the charger.
7) If the battery is old or has been abused, it will need to
replaced.
8) Check all connectors.
The GO KART was running but
it suddenly stopped.
1) Low battery voltage.
2) CIRCUIT BREAKER is blown.
3) Loose
connectors.
4) The power shut off “T” handle has come off.
1) The electronic circuit will automatically detect when the
voltage is too low for the go kart to run. Recharge the
battery.
2) Refer to page 18 to reset.
3) Check all electrical connections, including the one that
attaches to the accelerator pedal.
4) Replace the power shut off “T” handle into it’s proper
location.
The GO KART suddenly stopped
running and I hear a high pitched
sound.
The electronics have determined an unusual power "spike".
Turn the vehicle OFF and wait ten seconds. Turn the vehicle ON
again and drive as normal. Try to drive the Go Kart more
smoothly.
The GO KART is in “ON” mode but
when I press the accelerator pedal,
the back wheel won’t turn.
1) The charger is still connected.
2) Check to see if the power shut off “T” handle is all the
way in.
3) Make sure you are not stepping on the brake.
4) Press the accelerator too fast. Self - test not
completed.
1) Disconnect the charger.
2) Plug the power shut off “T” handle all the way in.
3) Remove pressure from the brake pedal and try again.
4) Wait one second (for GO KART self - test) after turn on th e
ON/OFF.
Motor will run but the GO KART
does not move.
Broken chain.
Replace chain.
I hear a “whirring” noise from the
charger when it is charging the
GO KART.
This is normal.
No action necessary.
Only the right tire moves the vehicle.
The left tire doesn’t seem to have
any power.
This is normal. The right side tire provides the power to the
ground and left side provides the braking action.
No action necessary.
The front wing pops off if I go over
a big bump.
The front wing is designed to do this to help prevent damage
in the case of a collision. This is normal.
No action necessary.
The GO KART is noisy or making
a “popping” sound when moving.
The chain is too loose.
Adjust the chain. Refer to page 20 - 21.
The charger gets warm
when I recharge the
battery.
This is normal.
No action required.
The tires are worn out after several
hours of running.
This is normal.
The tires are designed to be soft and sticky for maximum
performance. Rotate the tires from right to left to help increas e
the life of each tire. Replace worn tires immediately.
The vehicle moves in reverse.
The "FWD/REV" switch is in "REV" position.
Move the switch to the “FWD” position.
