Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Smart Cycle Extreme
Customer Review: YOU CAN CONNECT a DC ADAPTER instead of using batteries.
Summary: 5 Stars
The biggest draw back we saw to getting the Extreme (which vibrates when you hit things on the road) was the battery-drainage issue. It is supposed to take 4 D batteries to allow this vibrating. However, those won't last long given the strength of the vibration. Here's how we fixed that problem.
1) Open the bike up by unscrewing the side panel and taking it off.
2) Look inside the bike and find the battery compartment. Drill a small hole in it.
3) Find the red and black wires inside the bike that are saudered to the back side of the battery compartment. Pull those 2 wires off of the battery compartment.
4) Feed the wires through the hole you drilled, pushing the wires into the batter compartment.
5) Put the side panel back on the bike (you're done in there).
6) Open the battery compartment and pull the red and black wires further through.
7) Drill a hole in the battery compartment door (the one you normally unscrew to change out batteries).
At this point you should have already bought a 6V DC adapter. Cut the end of the wire off so that you just have wires to work with.
8) FEED THE WIRE THROUGH the hole in the BATTERY DOOR that you just drilled.
9) Pull apart the 2 small wires that make up the DC wire. One of those small wires will be black, and the other will be black with white on it. (usually)
10) Peel back some of the black rubber on each (about an inch) to expose the copper inside the wires).
11) Twist the copper part of the bike's black wire around the copper part of the DC adapter's black wire. Wrap electrical tape around the copper so none is exposed.
12) Twist the copper part of the bike's red wire around the copper part of the DC adapter's white and black wire. Wrap electrical tape around that as well.
13) Secure the wires inside the battery compartment so that the kids can jostle them loose. You can duct tape them in there, or use a hot glue gun like we did.
14) Close up the battery compartment and you are done!
If you bought a variable adapter instead of a 6V, then you will want to set the adapter to the correct voltage and then glue it to that setting so that the kids can't accidentally change the setting. We bought a variable adapter (which means it can deliver more and less than 6V). Ours was a 1,000 milliamp. (not sure if you really need to know that though). But for $8 and 20 minutes of labor, we never have to buy D batteries! :)
Description of Fisher-Price Smart Cycle Extreme
Smart Cycle Extreme has a rumble feature in the handle bar. It's a stationary bike, a learning center, and an arcade game system-all rolled into one. Smart Cycle plugs right into your TV, ready to take kids on learning adventures like no other. As they pedal, favorite character friends guide them through learning discoveries, games, and even exciting races. Bring the arcade experience home, with multiple levels of play for different ages and stages. Just like a real bicycle, Smart Cycle pedals are not interchangeable (there is a left threaded pedal and a right threaded pedal). It's important to assemble the right pedal on the right side of your Smart Cycle, and the left pedal on the left side. To help you, we've stamped and labeled each pedal and pedal axle with an "R" for the right side and an "L" for the left side. To tighten the pedals, you'll need to turn the left pedal counter-clockwise (which is different from how you would normally tighten) and the right pedal clockwise. Be sure to tighten both pedals firmly with the enclosed assembly tool and you're ready to roll!Learning & Education Toys
