About Method's signature Challenge Task

I stuck in this task? Can anyone helps me?

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;
  private int laps = 1;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
 public void drive() {
    drive(laps);
     } 
  public void drive(int laps) {
    // Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
    mBarsCount -= laps;

    }


  public void charge() {
    while (!isFullyCharged()) {
      mBarsCount++;
    }
  }

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

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

}

You simply need to call the method drive with the argument of 1:

 public void drive() {
    drive(1);
     }
