Hey you went above and beyond to make his Christmas special you have nothing to feel bad about.

Relax and go back over the instructions. Odds are you simply over looked something that is a quick and easy fix.

Make sure the charger is assembled correctly.

Make sure the outlet you've plugged it into is live.

Make sure the battery has been connected to the bike and there are no safety plugs or tabs that you need to pull out to close the contacts and make the battery work.

Stop your only job is to love you're children. Gifts dont mean anything .
You're great mom

enjoy the time with your family, as long as he sits on it, I'm sure he will be happy.
maybe a wire was loose, you can figure it out in the next couple days when he is asleep.
Life is so cruel and especially the business world that uses people as money machines to support THEM, the business world. It is not human though.

And the people making the products are mostly wage slaves or worse and when things aren't perfect the wonder is that exploited and abused workers can crank out so much stuff that IS perfect.

It shouldn't be this way.

you will find something to cheer him up. Then cancel the sale on your credit card (hope u used it) and arrange for this to go through.

I am sorry these holidays can be so cruel to so many.

You're not a failer. That stuff doesn't matter the kid is probably just happy that there is a Christmas. You're a good mom.

Yes, you are a wonderful Mom. I really wish, that I could help you.
I would send Santa and his elves back to see, what they could do.
Maybe, go to the bikes manufacture web site and see if there is a trouble shooting section. You can send me or here in this thread, the name of it and who makes it. It would help me more. I would just love to maybe help you, to get it working! That would bring me a lot of joy!☺️

The fact that you're worrying so much means you are a good mum

It's not your fault that it doesn't work

It]s the bike problem not yours and you may have to connect something because today with safety the battery pack might be disconnected. I hope you got him a helmet and check the age limit just to be on the safe side,

@updown2020 it is for ages 3-7 i have got him a helmet knee pads elbow pads an it has stablisers and with him being autistic an learning difficulties i wont let him play outside unaccompanied so he will always be supervised.
Go to the place you bought it from tell them the issue they can likely either fix it or replace the bike with new one

i know gifts dont matter but i still feel so bad as its the only thing he wanted and yet i couldnt give him i feel its my fault as i should have checked it when got it an not left it till last minute. i know i should get help with my depression as its so severe to the point i sleep on the floor as my head tells me im not worthy enough to sleep in a bed but i also feel that if i do seek help then i have failed as a person an a mum
