Is anyone else having issues with their kid’s stacyc overheating? I have the 16” for my son who is 5 years old and under 40 lbs. He rides at our park in very short grass (think golf course fairway). After 10 or 15 minutes of riding his bike starts beeping with a yellow flash. It eventually shuts off. The owners manual is saying the ESC is overheating. I’m really surprised it can’t handle the workload. My son does not ride it very hard at all.
Has anyone experienced this and created a solution? I’m wondering if some sort of heat sink or fan on the ESC would help.

Meanwhile the PW50 keeps going and going..
As much as I like the thought of electric bikes- they suck!

One just recently started acting up again and blowing fuses. Installed a new motor and ESC a couple days ago (3rd one) and it’s behaving…for now. I believe the motors are the weak link in the chain here. I would reach out to CS and explain the issue. They will likely tell you the motor needs to be replaced and may offer a discount code. The problem is catching these while they are in stock. If/when they finally do appear, they go quick. Good luck.
They ran the crap out of a cheap Razor bike for a year before killing it. Don't get them muddy or wet and you'll get more than $250 worth of fun for sure.
Pit Row
Red = Low
Yellow= Medium
Green = Fast
Then when you turn the throttle, the LED will change to indicate battery level.
Green = Full battery
Yellow = Partially full battery
Red = Low Battery
Again, it’s been a while since I read the manual, but that’s how I remember it.
The bikes are fun, but they definitely could be built better.
For reference, my son also has a PW50 which he has way more time on it and almost no issues over the last 2 years. Also, he spends a ton of time on his pedal bike, the stacyc is just another fun toy.
