I have not experienced the noise.. Look closely to see if thread or string has wrapped around the axle of the wheel.

I haven't had that problem, but I have had trouble with pet hair & rug fibers winding and binding around drive and steering wheels. Clearing the hair away by pulling and cutting solved my troubles.

IT WORKED!!! (Your husband is a genius. I never would have thought to loosen something to fix a squeak!. I ran it hard for 45 mins this morning and...no noise!)Thanks for posting that trick!

I can't say that mine squeaks. There is a little rubbing noise, but not a squeak.

We too had the jar of red wheel bearing grease. However, it was the bolts. My husband was obviously and over achiever in putting it together and made sure it was good and tight. However, when the bolts were loosened the noise totally stopped and there hasn't been the slightest squeek since. Good Luck!

try pushing the wheels in tighter; they're supposed to snap in. you need to use some strength. put some elbow grease into it man.

I have a terrible squeak on the passenger side anytime I turn to the left. It started just a few months after I installed the struts. I have not been able to find a solution.

Sorry - never had a problem with loud squeaking! With previous similar machines I have had, I never had to disassemble the back part (usually called the 'flywheel') - just had to lube the parts that the peddles connected to, front and back. I used lithium grease - don't bother with oils like 3-in-1, etc.

Be sure that the friction points aren't sticky. A little light oil at all friction points can help a lot. You might need to do this more often if the friction points get wet, accumulate debris or get dusty.

Maybe it's just a little stuck? Try lubricating it a little , mine was like that too but after it worked just fine

Make sure the wheels are snapped on...I did this also, but if you give the wheels a solid push, a very definite click sounds and the wheels do not come off. Press hard to be sure they are clicked on, not just put on.

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

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.

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've had it happen a couple of times and just shut it off and restart it and it always works. I also lubricate them three times a week like they recommend.

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

I had the same issue. Spayed wd 40 under the tread and it worked. Needs to be lubed often.

No, our machine doesn't do that shaking and Squeaking. Your machine must have something loose in it. Write the seller and ask them the same question.
