The wheels keep coming up our of the rings. It happens to me as an adult and my 7 year daughter. How do you prevent this?

I am going to buy map pins to hold down the rings like the original used to be sold. Luckily the holes are still in the rings so you can do that. Pin the rings to paper with cardboard under it. Not sure if that will work but that's the best plan I have right now.

My advise is "don't even buy it. The wheels are designed so that my grandkids hit the back wheels with their feet, get frustrated because they don't get very far and give up."

Also, we have never had any problems with wheels getting caught up on the body of the vehicle. It was a great 1st RC vehicle for our 2year old son. It is very sturdy. We've had it for a year and it still works great.

I am so sorry, I have never had that problem. I would have a Schwinn expert help you with that. Sorry, and best wishes.

if your rim is shaking make sure to use a ratchet and tighten the large nut in the base of the rim (the one with the spring). If you tighten it sufficiently it will give you a quite solid rim. This will tighten it over the reccomended amount (flush with the washer) but I have yet to see any downside. Of course, we don't hang on our rim either.

Hi, my son and I tried to get the wheels off but they don't budge. I'd think it would be safe.

Yes. We are having that problem. The gate is dragging on the ground. We don't even shut it now, until we can find a better fix. We also have a problem with the tire forcing a rotation. Not enough room between the wheel and wood for the wheel to rotate. We solved this with strong green wire which prevents the rotation.

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!

Hello! The car is pretty sturdy, my kids have never fallen off. The wheels are set far enough apart to give stability. :-) Remind him to lift his feet up.

Our wheels do the same. I believe this is by design, similar to a stroller or grocery cart. It doesn't seem to be a problem for my grandson.

I put the wheels on using a rubber mallet. I didn't bother to take them off again. The children just use the bloks as is.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the details of how you use them. I have a yes and a no. The problem is I am alone and it's extremely difficult to lift and place each wheel. And frustrating to have them slip off when moved. But again, I'm grateful for your time.

It's not easy! I squeeze the prongs that just stick out of the middle of the wheel together while easing the rim of the wheel away from the base trying to keep the pressure even to avoid breaking off one of the prongs. I have broken about half my wheels, but it seems to work just fine with one prong (and actually it becomes easier to take apart then).

I think there's something wrong with wheels. I suggest you to check with the seller. The wheels with move together when the music is on as mine.

I always try to follow the manufacturer's advice when it comes to weight limits. I learned the hard way that rubber wheels can develop flat spots if the wheeled item sits in one place for too long, as with a wheeled pantry. Too much weight can also affect the performance. The wheel sort of drags, probably because of the pressure on the axle.

Make sure you push the wheels in far enough. If I remember correctly, I had to push really hard; you should hear a big "pop" when that in. Hope this helps.

You have to press them in to the base far enough to engage the snap ring. If you are pressing them in as far as possible and they are still falling out you may have defective parts. There will becan audible "click" when the wheel casters are all the way in.
