HELP! My wheel is loud and wobbly - what am I doing wrong?

Your loft might not be sitting level. Also, some silicone lube might help though make it is food grade.

We used canola oil on it, applying with a squirt bottle, until it would spin in our hands without noise. Needs reapplying every few cleanings. To tighten, make sure it's properly in the slot, and that the little knob is turned to hold it still.Hope that helps!

I added vegetable oil to the white spoke the wheel sits on to ease noise, but sometimes it doesn't cut all the noise down.

Same thing here! The wheel in front split...I contacted Amazon and they immediately responded. I've since sent the scooter back and have gotten a refund. It came from Next Sport thru Amazon

if it's wobbling something is loose. I would try to Go back over all the bolts and connections and double check to make sure everything is tight, especially the ground bolts.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

Just assembled it. Right wheel was squeaking. I unscrewed both the wheels and noticed the one squeaking is loose because it was defective. Unscrew just the 2 wheels and compare side by side, check if one of them has a deeper hole or not. Will be trying to order the defective part. Wish me luck.

If I go faster than a brisk walk my front wheels start shaking like crazy. I'm inquiring as to whether it is a factory defect.

Sorry, I've been out of town. There is a tiny metal "clip" in an indentation near the end of each wheel. Carefully remove the clip, then push the wheel into the hole, and replace the clip, which keeps the wheel from falling off. Hope that helps.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Hi Diamond Girl,Try lubricating the front wheel with some WD40. Maybe the front wheel is sticking a bit and not responding to the handle! Good luck, Alison.

I had trouble getting the wheels in too. I lubed the wheel shafts with WD40 with my fingers and as I was putting the wheels in with the chair upside down. I used a hammer & screwdriver on bottom of the wheels. Gently hitting the screwdriver. Wheels went in fine then.

It's difficult for me to get a visual with the names you are using. page 11 of the operating manual does not have the same nomenclature in your question. could it be the wheel is turned wrong way. my wheel attached and worked perfectly.

I had the same issue. I put a couple of drops of silicone oil on the wheel as they suggested and this is working so far.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

It is very noises. I found with each motion you make it sounds like the wheel is rubbing against something. You can't watch tv while working out on it.

I'm not sure. I too am having problems with my wheel even without the cartridge.
