My bike will not work. If I press the pedal it works when it's plugged in, but not when I remove it. Suggestions?

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

Cassie, You, I, and many others did something you should never do--buy something without doing our research. Amazon is the best place to check out real customer experiences with products. If we had checked before buying, we would have learned that Lil Rider is junk! There is nothing you can do for it except throw it away or give it to someone who doesn't care that it doesn't work. It's very cute, and a child who is into pushing with his feet and pretending may like it.

Did it work when you got it, if not Amazon/mfg should replace it. If it just quit working possibly the contact to the peddle became loose or disconnected. I have a pretty rough 4 yr old who rides & bangs into things all the time but so far I have not had any problems with it. I just wish it was a bigger so he could keep riding it when he gets bigger!!

This product is poorly made, unfortunate my daughter loves it. A wire probably came loose within in the motor. This happen to me the first day she rode. The soldering came apart, wires separate. I sent back within week. Would never recommend.

Yes that is exactly what I am currently using it for. I had the same problem, when all of a sudden my old foot pedal just DID NOT WORK?

the mileage meter and speed only work if plugged in, the pedals of course still "cycle" but you will have no idea how fast or how far.

No power source needed. There is a battery in there somewhere but we have needed to change it. Perhaps it is recharged by our daily use of the bike?

No idea. I'm still waiting for my second replacement part. After a month, I have yet to be able to use my bike. If this doesn't work, I'm done with it.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

Yes, changing the battery helps. The instructions online practically said to take it completely apart which ended up not being necessary. You do not need to remove the pedals. I figured out the location of the battery by following the cable out of the console. Much easier than online instructions will lead you to believe.

Are you sure the gear is not broken. Check if you can move the lever backwards and forwards. If you can the try tightening the screw in its housing. If it does not work seek advice from the manufacturer.

Sorry, I didn't post my entire results. I ended up replacing the DC motor for the bike twice. The second time was a charm. I now have two good control panels. I would recommend requesting the DC motor. It is not easy to replace, and there are no instructions included with it. I spent a bit of time fiddling with it to make the resistance appropriate.

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

Hi Patrick, it sounds as though the chain brake may be on. Remove the battery. Pull the hand guard back towards you. Insert the battery and try to start it again. You can see this on page 16 of your manual. If this doesn't work, call the toll free helpline at 1-888-909-6757.

Other than telling you to make sure that the bike is correctly assembled and be sure that the pieces including the said plug is on tight enough, the only other advice I could probably give if the previous has been done or doesn't work is to have it exchanged or returned as it might be faulty.

Sorry, I don't have an answer. Mine is still in the (very beat-up box) and I'm waiting for my son to help me figure it out. And if the bike is as damaged as the box, I'm in big trouble. Hope some one else can help you! JoanC

Check your cable plugs are secure, move away from fluorescent lights, or could be the pedal itself. Run each seperately to test.

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?
