My 150b just started dragging in reverse. Runs fine forward, but when you shift to reverse it drags and squeaks (low pitch). Can't roll it backwards with the buggy off. What could this be? Failed rear bearing(s)?

check the rear brake caliper, it might be sticking. I have a 110 in the shop doing the same thing. the caliper will not release enough

The brake caliper only sticks in the reverse direction? I don't get it.

You were right. I just sprayed the rear caliper with wd40 and the problem went away. Thanks.
