2014 GW CSC trike reverse works a little then stops

[ZeroG]

I'm trying to back this new to me 2014 GW CSC trike into a stall in my shed. It is a gravel floor. The trike will go a bit very slowly then stop. Level ground but the gravel does have some minor humps in it.

Is this normal or is there an adjustment needed on mine?

Aren’t any adjustments you have to remember the reverse motor is a assist reverse it’s not a proper reverse…. Some people say that if they hold the RPM’s up a little bit it’ll help with the backing up....

Your "reverse" utilizes your starter motor. That uses a LOT of battery power. Not sure about it quitting but could be your battery is not up to the required demands. Good luck..... Jim

Thanks guys.

I didn't realize it was an assist. I did up the rpm but it didn't help move the trike. At least I now know nothing is wrong, just deal with it. I can push when I have to. LOL
