Tells me task one no longer passes?

When I put in the code, it says task number one no longer passes. Then I click "go to task one" hit "check work" and it passes. What am I doing wrong? Cant seem to get past this and getting frustrated.

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

  public void drive() {
    lapsDriven++;
  }

  }
}

Hi Evan,

It looks like you wrote your drive method inside of the isFullyCharged method.

See the comment here,

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

  public void drive() {
    lapsDriven++;
  }

  } // move this curly brace above the drive method
}
