I seem to have added a method called drive but the page is still telling me too "Add a new public method called drive".

The code is attached.

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven;

  public drive() {
    lapsDriven++;
  }

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }


}

Hi George,

You've almost go it, but you may have missed one key part of the instructions:

and not return anything

The method drive needs to not return anything, but you are missing this in the method signature. Hint: void

Just fix that up and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
