It is difficult to read the code like that, but I think you may be missed a closing curly brace to close out the public void load() method. 
```java
public class GoKart { 
    public static final int BATTERY_MAX = 8; 
    private String mColor; 
    int mBattery;
public GoKart(String color) { 
    mColor = color; mBattery = 0;
} 
public void load() { 
    mBattery = BATTERY_MAX;
} // <<< This is missing??
public String getColor() { 
    return mColor; 
  } 
}
```
