  If your Radio Flyer Motorized Toy Car's run time is less than 30 minutes, there are a few potential reasons. The battery may be undercharged; ensure you charge it fully before the first use and after each use until the LED light turns green, without exceeding 18 hours. Alternatively, overcharging the battery beyond 18 hours can damage its lifespan. Lastly, an old battery might be the cause. Contact Radio Flyer customer service for replacement parts.

  If your Radio Flyer Motorized Toy Car is running slowly, it could be due to several reasons. The vehicle might be overloaded; the maximum weight capacity is 130.0 lb (58.97 kg).
