just add a public GoKart constructor to the GoKart class, takes a String color as argument, and assign it to the private String mColor

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";

  // public constructor here
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}
