the bike just quit working after the grand daughter rode it about 10 minutes and we can not figure out why. No the battery is not dead.

My son rides his all over my house and in the driveway in nice weather and I have not had any problems with the bike. Have you tried checking the wires to see if there are any disconnected or broken wires?

Same thing happened when I purchased this bike for my grandson. the other online reviews say that the gears strip and the bike stops working. I returned bike and asked for refund.

Ours did the same thing! Battery was good and grandson rode it for about 10 minutes. The motor that runs the bike is defective . This is why I gave the product a bad review. It is not worth the cost as it is poorly engineered.

You might check the forward / reverse switch and or the off / on switch to ensure the are connecting properly.

The gears stripped the first time my grandson rode it. I took another motor and gears out of a car that my granddaughter had and put in the motorcycle and it has worked fine.

Also on the paperwork I got with the bike, there was not a guarantee or address if there were problems . So can't contact anybody.

Once you stop peddling, and leave the bike it times out and turns off. Also if you choose a program by mistake and can't clear it just let it time out... Enjoy and happy riding... ~ Kathleen

I bought one for my youngest grandson 2 years ago. I didn't have any problem with the battery charging but power cord did have a connection issue in the other power connector. Also the actual bike broke in half my grandson was only 2 and was under the weight limit as he was only 22 lbs at that age. You're right its a dud!!

I liked the bike but the battery only lasted about 18 months and costs around 400. if you can find one.

Ours has not done this. Have you tried taking the battery out and then putting it back in? I hope ours (my Grandkids) doesn't do this!

I have had a dead battery a couple of times but I don't get my 4 wheeler out much so that may have been the problem. I keep a battery tender on mine and haven't had any more problems. Starts up every time.

I am not sure about the battery's life, I have not had battery that long in mines. I have battery in and it is working, I only ride doing the day time.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

Ours did the same thing. I called the service Department. They were great. Diagnosed the problem, that the battery was bad, right on the phone. Bought a new battery, on Amazon, of course. Sure enough. the machine works great again.

Wow, the same thing happened to one of my kids motorcycles and the other one was fine. I called the 800 # in the manual and was given instructions to take a photo of the battery and yellow chips that came with it, but I never followed through because I then found a broken wire!! It's been in my list for months to try abs order a new battery..... :( my poor kids only enjoyed their motorcycles for a few months before the problems started.

It's probably not your charger... My daughter used hers for 5 minutes and it never charged again. The whole bike is not what it was supposed to be..

My bike is doing the same thing. I even followed the steps in the troubleshooting guide to try to fix the problem. I suppose the next step is to contact the manufacturer.

Its one big honking battery; the rest of the unit is just ten-twenty bucks of stuff to help push it around. If yours is dead and its not too old, see if the company will help you out. These big ones don't seem to be lasting very long at all.

I returned the bike. It stopped working and they would not respond to my calls or e-mails. I bought an I Zip bike and use it every day.
