New battery arrived today. The last one was killed by someone leaving the switch on while it was not being used for a few weeks.
Giving this a try. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281318118823...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Emilie(brakes are for boys) gave it a test. She jumped the driveway and the pond dam a few times. Also drifted it around some trees. The girl is a natural. Steers into a slide and puts her foot right back in it.

Third of what Oriellys wanted. Walmart was double.

Please let us know how it works for you.
I recently bought a gel battery from one of the online shops (either BB or RMATVMC; can't recall), and the label indicates it is distributed by a Texas company. Perhaps we could buy directly from them.

This is an Indiana company. The walmart battery installed by the PO last about 9 months. I am sure the switch was not left on it would still be okay.

I like the digital display/readout on that battery.

Typical. eBay sellers often inflate the price a bit to offset fees.

New battery has already failed. Little screen not working. Today they rode until the belt broke. Found a spare and got it back up and working.

I like Lily's hat, and her beautiful smile.

While I had it apart in the lab I discovered why the sprockets are alittle out of alignment. The whole swingarm is moved over. I noticed one of the upper suspension links had an angle to it.
Also need to work on the forward neutral reverse box. It has a hard time staying in forward.
