Anyone else have problems with the rear wheel? Heard clicking after a few uses and now ball bearings broke.

Had problem with the front wheel. It locked up several times before the ball bearings actually came out of the wheel. Amazon replaced it promptly, and we haven't had any other problems yet, but it's definitely an issue that KaZAM needs to address in production.

I've had the bike about 18 months. Shortly after I received it, a clunk developed. I called Schwinn. They sent a repairman and he replaced the flywheel bearings. It is a task. I doubt he could have done it with out my help and some special gear loosening oil (Kroil) which I had and he used at my suggestion. It was repaired under warranty at no charge. It has worked perfectly since. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue with mine. Other than the sand noise in the wheel, I think the manufacturer needs to grease the ball bearing of the axle. I don' t know if some manufacturers do that on purpose, but whenever you starting hearing those noises, the bike won' t be too long before the bike breaks down. In the old days, I used to fixing bikes, that is how I know about the issue. But if you are not a heavy user, I think it will be ok for a while. Good luck!

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?

Yes, in fact that was my problem. It appears the nut that keeps the drive spur came loose causing the excessive wear.

Hello. I did send the bike back. Amazon's service was great, once again. The left hand was tearing in two places. The chain drive is very loud. There is no way to fix that. New road bikes don't have that noise. This one gear spinner should not be so loud. I liked the elbow pads, however that is a where the hands go. One of the pedals came off and was stripped. It would not go back on. I know I put it on correctly. For a new product this should not have so many problems. Spend a little more and get a quality product. I got what I paid for.

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

I also had the same problem! I called support line and they said it was likely a broken motor. So they sent us a new motor and (after 3 weeks) a repair guy came. He couldn't fix the bike (because a pedal arm was stuck so he couldn't remove the casing). Called them last week to tell them repair guy could not fix the bike (he also called them). They told us they need to have a meeting to see how to next proceed. That was 7 working days ago. Still no word from them. Not impressed. Let me know how it goes for you guys!!

I had the same issue. Call Baby Jogger; they'll replace the front wheel if you're still under warranty.

I had the same problem and was able to get a replacement. I called the vendor who sold the product (it's on the Amazon invoice), told them what happened, and they ordered a replacement which was sent directly to me.. Great customer service! The wheels shaft break because they don't fit snugly into the slot at the bottom of the leg. The wheel then slips out and breaks when you move the file. After you replace the wheel, try to crimp the slot with a pliers where the wheel is inserted. That may be tough to do. Try inserting flat sided toothpicks into the slot next to the wheel shaft and snap off the ends. This will create a tight fit for the wheel shaft.

I was about to ask the same question. One wheel broke. I am planning to try to contract the people who sold it.

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

I just used a large flat headed screwdriver. Got between the metal rim and the plastice cover and gently worked my way around the outside of the wheel. Hope this was able to be of some help to ya.
