mph, maximum). It has been pre-set so it will only operate in low speed. After your
child has mastered the basic skills of driving and understands the rules for safe driving, it’s time to remove the high speed lock-out screw to allow
the vehicle to operate in low or high speed. See the instructions on this page to remove the high speed lock-out screw.
