This ride on fire truck is a modern update to classic pedal cars with a fire truck theme. Kids will love coming to the rescue in this foot to floor ride on with a real squirting hose. Super tough construction makes this an ideal outdoor toy - the body will never rust!

its either going to be a bad shifter switch or a bad motor. Is it the Gaucho?

I would check the battery voltage with a multimeter if possible. Battery should read at least 6 volts. Most likely the battery is too old to take a charge if it’s been sitting unused since 2006. I’d replace the battery first and then go from there.

Hi!
On these, only the 2 rear wheels are the gear wheels. You will just need to replace the tires on those with the rubber ones if you choose to go that way.  Good luck!
