The rear wheel has began to make a noise. The rear wheel bolt is always loose. Try to tighten but continues to be loose. Anyone experiencing this?

Use a dab of lock tight on the threads. Let it sit over night. You can get it at any auto parts store. It's like $4

I have not experienced the bolt being loose, but have experienced the rear wheel flattening out due to the braking mechanism and this makes a loud noise when the scooter is used. If I were you I would contact the manufacturer for possible replacement.

Scooter is at Grandsons house, with winter here not used much. AND he is a beginner, may not get the hard use a trickster might give it. Wish I knew more, sorry.May be able to tell you more after weekend. Have you thought of using a 'lock' washer? The split one that ends do not meet--or a rubber type one. I have not used on scooter, but on other things. Just a brainstorming thought. OR-perhaps go to a bike shop they may have a suggestion if you do not have a skate shop. Good luck!

Not us. You may try adding some lock-tite or some sort of thread lock compound. If that doesn't work, just replace the lock nut itself.

We have not experienced this. Your local scate shop might be able to help you sort this out. It sounds like it might be a bearing. The good news is that the bearings and wheel assemblies are pretty universal.

I had that issue but it took just a little elbow grease getting the rear wheel in. As soon as the paint on the rear drop-outs wore slightly, the axle became more and more easily inserted. Right now, the axle comes on and off without problems. Maybe a bit of emory cloth could thin out that thick layer of paint on your first assembly.

Same problem here. Sorry to say we've had no luck getting the wheel(s) to stay on. Keep reattaching, but still no luck.

Since I replaced the bottom bracket with a sealed cartridge, I've had a similar problem. The looseness is on the right side at the bolt closest to the bottom bracket. Although the problems is with the bolt on the right side, that makes the pedal on the left feel loose.But I recently replaced the wedge pins and it seems better now. I may have had the pin facing the wrong direction. If you put in all the pins facing the front, half of them will be backwards!

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Not sure what the wheel problem is but I've had mine for about 5 months and haven't had any problems.

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

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!

I had this problem too. I contacted Britax to get a new wheel and it works much better now!

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

I've not had that problem. I would probably do a search online for parts. However, something tells me that you would probably do best to take it to a repair shop.

hmmmm, must have gotten one where quality control was asleep at the wheel. No idea where to find another one.........maybe try and find something that will work instead? I'll check around and if I see something that may work, I'll let you know.

sorry, the one we have has not made any unusual sounds. Do you have pets? If yes, could it be hair around wheels? Or if its a motor bad sound, I'd consider returning the item. Sorry, best luck

Had that same problem in the beginning. Just make sure the cable underneath is attached and you can adjusts the tension, just use your hands to make sure the cable is on wheel

You problem sounds like it could be an adjustment issue. But if it is your clutch you will also need either a new flywheel or resurface the old one. But I would try to try adjusting your clutch first.

I have not experienced this as of yet. One idea I would suggest is going around and tightening all the bolts on the bike. I do this about once a month or so just as a routine and usually will find one or two that have loosened up. Sorry to hear your experiencing this problem, if this does not work I would call the Schwinn customer service number and they maybe able to help you.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.
