SOLUTION
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 50 lb.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in thermal fuse in
the battery may "trip." Once a fuse has "tripped," remove your
foot from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before
operating the vehicle again. Adjust the driving conditions
to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
Use only on generally level ground.
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to
make sure they are tight.
