    I have a 12V dune racer (I converted to 24V) that only runs in second (fast) gear with no first gear or reverse. In second gear, it only spins one wheel. The other one stays permanently locked. Is it likely that the motor is bad on the locked side? I ordered new shifter switches just to troubleshoot. Thanks!

    • @alloutbikes

      It sounds like you do have a bad motor. In 2nd both wheels should spin.

      If you drop the battery it could stop working. If the battery is 3 years or older it can also stop working. The motor burn up aswell. If you put it in high and it works but not in low one of your motors are bad. Good luck. Thanks, Jason.

    So I have an electric trike, the battery was dead so I charged it, I’ve tested the battery and it’s fully charged and still good under a load, in both forward and reverse it only makes a rapid clicking sound, like a dead battery in a car, do you have any thoughts on what that could be or could you point me in the right direction for where to start looking for a fault?

    • @alloutbikes

    I have an issue with my son's Jeep Hurricane power wheel. It was working fine but the stock battery was starting to not hold much charge so instead of getting another 12v battery, I got the DeWalt 20v adapter. Before everything worked (rev, slow speed, and fast speed). I cut the Two wires going to the battery and connected the adapter. But now, rev works but seems slow? , Slow speed doesn't do anything, and fast speed works but only spins one tire (rear passenger) so he has no traction in our yard, it just spins that one wheel really fast making ruts in the ground but won't spin the other tire like it used to do? Any idea what would cause that?

    • @alloutbikes
      @alloutbikes  Před rokem

      Yes. It has two motors and most likely one motor is burned out. The motors were designed for 12 volts and by using a 20 volt battery it probably burned one out. Lift up the back of the Jeep by putting some bricks under the body and see if only one wheel turns going forward and reverse. If only one turns then the one that does nothing is burned out or the wire going to that one motor broke. Goodluck.👍

    Hello. I recently got a power wheels gtr90 for my kids, but it hasn't been a great experience thus far. For some reason, the vehicle moves well only in the 2nd gear. When in first or reverse, it hardly moves. Any help in trying to determine what might be wrong is greatly appreciated.

    • @alloutbikes
      @alloutbikes  Před 2 lety

      In first and reverse it goes through one motor. When your in second it goes through both motors. Your primary motor may be going bad. Then again of one wheel does not turn the power goes through to the other motor and the wheel may start spinning making it go nowhere. Most of the time its a bad motor. I hope this helps.

    Hi, great video but I need some further help. Everything works on my kid's Dune Racer except when he is in it, it will stutter, like go and stop intermittently when the pedal is pressed. It doesn't do that if the back is lifted up and I'm just pressing the switch. Background: I had added another 12 V battery to make it 24. Used cheap wire from Amazon. The connections are secure but maybe the wire is no good? Or maybe it is just the switch?

    • @alloutbikes
      @alloutbikes  Před 2 lety

      I'm sorry I can't help you with out seeing it. It sounds like the pedal switch maybe going bad it was designed and tested for 12 volts not 24 volts. The same goes for the motors if you put to much into them the motor can go bad. Cheap wire can cause problems as well especially if its the wrong gauge. The best thing I can tell you as a certified service center is to return the Powerwheels back to its original condition and replace the pedal. I can't help with Powerwheels that have been modified because they will drop me as a service center. I hope you can figure it out. Thanks, Jason.

    • @alloutbikes
      @alloutbikes  Před 7 měsíci

      The battery can still be bad. You need the battery to put out about 13 volts and it needs to have at least 10 amps. If the battery is going bad the charger will still charge it to 12 volts but with the cells going bad the amps go down. You could also have a bad connection somewhere. If it's new don't mess with it you will void the warranty. Take it to a service center if it's new. If it's older then a year take the battery to a service center to be tested or a Battery Plus to be tested. I hope this helps. Good luck. You can call if you need more help.

    • @alloutbikes

      Your wires are crossed. If it was here I would play with the wires and switches. If you wanted to keep it simple you could open the back and remove the axle and move the motor from right to left and the left to the right and that will change the direction so that you will have forward hi and low. I hope this helps. If the switches are backwards you can leave them plugged in and just rotate them 180°. Goodluck 🖖

    • @alloutbikes

      No. What your taking about sould not be possible. The steering rod goes through the frame and bends around and hooks into a metal tab that's not plastic. Either it's not installed properly or there is something seriously wrong. The other option is I'm not understanding your issue.

      @KlaudeeBoyee Před rokem

      @@alloutbikes I am not the original owner, the one I have I picked up from the curb. I looked at it again earlier today. The steering rod has an “S” shaped bend that is positioned in a plastic channel and then, as you mentioned, the end of the rod feeds through the flat metal arm that connects the two front wheels. That channel/recess that the “S” bent portion of the steering rod rests in, is worn away. I’m assuming the previous owner initially installed it incorrectly because the rod isn’t entirely seated in the channel, it’s shallow and so with enough/repeated force the corner eventually wore away and now the rod has nothing to brace against in order to turn the wheels. I tried getting the steering rod to seat entirely recessed within that channel (so that it can properly brace against and turn the wheels without popping out) but then the end of the rod didn’t align with the slit in the flat metal arm connecting the wheels.
      I might see if I can follow and assembly guide to break down the car and rebuild it with everything aligned as intended

I removed the back wheels and only one of the gears were spinning. I replaced the battery with a "fully charged" battery and then both gears would spin so I replaced both tires assuming it was fixed. But with either battery it doesn't go into reverse or the 1st speed, only the 2nd fastest speed and only one tire is spinning. Any help you can offer?

      Thats an easy one. You have a burned out motor. Ninety nine times out of a hundred. The main motor burns out first. That motor does first gear and reverse.

Even one tiny part completely vaporized and gone. Lol
    Removed all contacts , springs,, carefully . Cleaned, lightly sanded, blew out dry, replaced vaporized part with redneck engineered part, reassembled. Tested . All functions well. Advised old battery most likely good. Save it. Keep out of the rain. There you go little Buddy. Culprit: Rain had seeped in around shifter and father time took its toll.

      Sounds like a bad battery. When the battery starts to go bad the voltage can stay the same due to charging but the amperage starts to drop. The amps are what gives the volts the oomph. Think of it like water in a hose. The water is the electricity and it's in the hose but without pressure it has trouble getting out of the hose. Amperage=pressure. I hope this helps.

      That doesn't sound like anything I've encountered before. I'm pretty sure that is not a Fisher Price product that is who makes Power Wheels. It's very difficult to say without seeing the toy. The first thing I would check is the battery. I know you may have already checked that but if the amperage is low it can cause the relays to make a bit of noise. You can take the battery to a Battery's Plus and they can test the battery. You need a load tester to check amps. Most Ohms meter don't give you what you need. Next you can test the motors by connecting the battery directly to the motor terminals. Make sure the wheels are off the ground and secured. You don't want to have any accidents. Make sure your using at least 14 gage wiring. If you use inadequate wiring you can hurt yourself and may cause a fire. I highly recommend taking it to a service center. I hope this helps. Goodluck.

      Put it in High lift up the back wheels and push the gas pedal if both wheels turn it's not a bad motor. Please be careful and not run yourself or others over doing this. If both wheels are turning your speed shifter is bad. There are two switches inside one has gone bad. You can't get the switches aftermarket (that I know of) you will have to get the whole thing. I hope this helps you. Thanks for watching!

      I don't know. Sometimes you don't have much choice with the music.
