Why does my Columbia Electric Vehicle run slow?
If your Columbia Electric Vehicle is running slower than usual, several factors could be the cause. Check the batteries for loose terminals, corrosion, electrolyte level, or state of charge. Also, inspect the brakes for dragging, the tires for being underinflated or flat, and the wheels to ensure they spin freely without binding.
What to do if my Columbia Electric Vehicle will not move?
If your Columbia Electric Vehicle won't move, start by checking if the power keyswitch is on and the direction selector is in the correct position. Inspect the keyswitch and motor for loose wires. Also, examine the batteries for loose terminals, corrosion, electrolyte level, and their state of charge.
