Tripped thermal fuse The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut down operation of
the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions
too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot from the
pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the
vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not
overload the vehicle by exceeding the 59 kg (130 lbs.) maximum
weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not
drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels
to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors.
If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact Consumer Relations.
