Ours pulls to the left when used as a stroller, we haven't tried it on a bicycle yet. What can we do to fix it?

check air pressure, the rear tires must be the same psi. the tires have max psi info on side wall.

If loosening the collars did not work. I would contact Bikehand and ask if there is something else you can do. Mine was good to go right out of the box. Maybe you can just return to Amazon for a different one. Sounds like it's just bent. Sorry those are the only answers I have.

All bicycles have a reverse thread on the left pedal to keep it from unscrewing during use. The stripped threads are probably from repeated attempts to put the pedal on wrong or using the wrong pedal. (right pedal on left) left tighty, right loosy

I am no expert, but here is what I would do. Check the two upper body legs, the ones that fasten to the axle under the meter. and make sure the right one is on the right side and the left one is on the left side. If that is OK, disconnect the two lower horizontal bars (71) from the peddles (75) and then work them back and forth, one at a time by hand. Hopefully something should squeak. Once again, make sure the left one is on the left, and the right one on the right. Try flipping the brackets around on the peddles and see if they squeak. Turn the peddle unit over like a bicycle wheel and make sure it is not an internal squeak inside the housing. If so, contact the manufacturer. Still nothing? Refasten one side back to the peddle and try to make it work under pressure. Try the other side. Squeak has got to be somewhere. If you find where it squeaks make sure all washers and parts are where they supposed to be. First though, try making sure all parts are tight. A loose part on the frame or peddle bolts could cause the squeak. Make sure the seat is tight. Good Luck......

Regular thread, I believe one side goes on in the opposite direction. It's been awhile since I put the bike together but as I recall the pedals threads are regular except for the direction in which they screw on.

sounds like the push pull thingy on the bottom needs to be reset. the part im talking about is the thing that contacts the stop ramp and stops the wheels from turning.

If you drilled a hole in the long side of the frame you could install the wheels to work in the direction you want them too. As it is designed, the axle of the wheels goes through a hole in the short sides of the frame so they only pull out sideways.

We did not overly tighten ours as we didn't find a need to. We did tighten it snuggly enough so it wouldn't turn easily. It did move a bit once after it was bumped but it wasn't a problem to move it back. I would suggest you contact the company if you feel yours is having a problem..

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

They have the left pedal bolt threading reversed when it should be the right one. This causes the pedal bolts to "unwind" and loosen when pedaling forward. I called the customer service for fisher price / mattel and the guy said that if I followed the directions, it would have been fine. You don't need to be an engineer to know that a reverse-threaded left pedal bolt and a standard threaded right pedal bolt will cause both pedal bolts to unscrew under forward pedalling. I guess they hired a managers kid to be their quality control tech and/or design engineer. EASY FIX: After you call customer support to have them resend the bolts and pedals (no charge), go to Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Ace, etc. and get a high strength epoxy designed for metal to metal. I used Loctite Threadlocker 271 Red. Put the bolts through the pedals all the way. Then dab a little of the red glue on just the bolt threading. It's kinda runny, so be careful. Coat the outter 2/3 of the length of threading (from the tip inward 2/3 of the length, so that when you tighten it, there won't be any squeezed out to get on the plastic pedal). Now, do one pedal at a time and make sure you adhere to the R or L on the bolt head. While holding the outside of the pedal, keep the bolt head (non glued end) pushed in to fully expose the threading on the other end. Mate the bolt threading to the female threading on the crank and SLOWLY turn it BACKWARD. This backward pedalling motion will tighten the bolt (when, if correctly designed, should loosen them). When you feel the threads engage, continue to turn until you have no more finger space left on the bolt head. Then use a wide-head screwdriver to snug it completely. Repeat this with the other side. The glue sets in about 10 minutes, but I did it just after my son had gone to sleep to allow the full 10 hours for the glue to cure. Be sure to spin the pedals a few minutes after you apply it to make sure none of the glue is holding them. Hey Fisher Price, my resume's available if you want it! ;-)

Hi Denise,You're supposed to be able to pull that little knob out a bit and put it in the upright (I believe) position. When the knob is to the side position, it doesn't swivel. However, mine was broken and no matter what I did, the wheel was not swiveling!! Also, the back wheels kept popping out. I got a full refund from Amazon and am very very grateful and happy with their service!! I ordered another AT3 Pet Gear stroller. Hopefully this one will function properly. Good luck!! Sue

I have not had any issue with mine...totally love it but check to see that the brake is not grabbing on that side, or that the under basket is not rubbing against the wheel

Let me try to remember, there should be a red tab on the side of the stroller (where the handle meets the frame), pull it upward. The stroller folds straight down. If it doesn't work just comment back and I'll go look at my stroller.

We just had the same thing happen to our stroller... flat spot after only 3 times of use. Have sent an e-mail to the Seller inquiring about the next step. Will update when we hear back.

I Haven't had any issues . Might need to adjust the back axel . Loosen the back tire so the chain gets tighter make sure the gap is the same on both sides so the chain travels true.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

I had this issue with a new one, it turned out the magnetic part that goes on the crank arm wasn't a magnet at all.. .. so I used a small magnet I had and just stuck it to the end of the pedal bolt and it worked fine... (which was also a bonus, I didn't really have enough room for that whole rubber thing to fit between the crank and chainstay)
