Which pedal go-kart is most suitable for my child?

It is correct that our go-karts are equipped with one wheel traction. This has to do with the ability to take turns with the go-kart. When taking a turn, the outer wheel makes more rotations than the inner wheel. For example, when turn to the right, the left wheels make more rotations than the right wheels. When both wheels have traction, there can be no difference in rotations and you will not be able to turn smoothly.

Looking for a go-kart for adults? All our XL go-karts are suitable for adults, this is shown by the recommended height indication we give with each go-kart. Are you very tall? Then an XL go-kart with an XXL frame might be for you! However, BERG's XL go-karts are not just for adults; children from the age of 5 with a minimum height of 125 cm can already use the go-kart. A large go-kart is also great for 2 people. This can be made possible by purchasing a passenger seat. Passenger seats are often available in the same themes as the go-kart. So you always have a pillion seat to match your go-kart!

The ideal length to play well on the XL go-kart is 125cm - 190cm. The age for this go-kart is from 5 years.

The ideal length to play well on the XXL go-kart is 125cm - 210cm. The age for this go-kart is from 5 years.

BERG go-karts are tested enormously extensively during development. We test internally that the go-karts are safe to use and comply with all regulations, that the parts are chemically free of toxic materials, are ergonomically correct and that the quality of the product is worthy of BERG. After the development of the go-kart, external testing agencies will check whether they agree with our findings. We market the products only if this is the case. All our go-karts are therefore CE certified and our smallest go-karts are also TUV certified.

All BERG go-karts are made with sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. We know exactly where each part comes from, which materials have been used, and that these materials are non-toxic and non-polluting. This ensures that the product is not harmful to your child and that we do not introduce toxic materials into the environment.

Need to replace a go-kart component? For every component apart from frames, we offer spare parts. When a tire goes flat, the chain snaps or some other part breaks, it can all be fixed through a spare part. This also applies to parts that are damaged or lost. This naturally ensures that a BERG go-kart can be used for an enormously long time, which makes BERG go-karts very durable.

You can! For each go-kart, we have certain accessories, appropriate for the age and requirements of the target group of the go-kart. So we have different sizes of trailers, flags, lighting sets, passenger seats in different colors, agricultural accessories and different sound boxes that can turn a steering wheel into a sound steering wheel.

There are two different types of drive systems, one we call Direct Drive, the other BFR, which stands for Brake Freewheel Reverse.

The Direct Drive is especially suitable for the younger target group, so we apply it to go-karts intended for a younger target group, namely the Buzzy and the Reppy. This is a drive in which a chain connects the bottom bracket directly to the rear axle. This means that when the go-kart rides, the pedals always move with it and you can brake by holding the pedals still. This is a very easy way to learn to pedal as it is easy for children to understand. Therefore, it is also the ideal drive for small children.

With the BFR (Brake Freewheel Reverse), there is a unique and patented system between the chain and the rear axle, specially developed for our BERG go-karts. This system allows the user to pedal, keep the pedals stationary while riding, use a back-pedal brake and pedal backwards after the go-kart has slowed down. Only found on go-karts from BERG, this unique combination of features is ideal for fast forward pedalling, reverse pedalling and braking.

Just like a real car, your cool BERG Pedal Go-kart also needs a periodic technical inspection. Ask an adult to help you. You are the mechanic! Ready for the periodic technical inspection?

Tires come in all shapes and sizes. With the go-kart tires at BERG, we distinguish between two different types, namely the EVA tires and the pneumatic tires, both of which have certain properties. How do I know what tires are on a go-kart? If you want to know what kind of tires your go-kart has, check the product page.

How cool is it to be able to cover long distances on your go-kart with little effort? With the larger go-karts, it takes a bit more energy to pull up quickly, which in itself is not a bad thing. Should you want support with this, that is certainly possible. Indeed, in addition to traditional go-karts, BERG also offers awesome electric go-karts. These go-karts differ from traditional go-karts because the electric go-kart uses pedal assistance, so it takes almost no effort to accelerate smoothly and ride the go-kart nice and fast. The pedal assistance option is only available on our XXL go-karts. This electric toy uses an intelligent system, which provides the electric drive for the go-kart. In addition, the frame is also extra sturdy that contributes to safety.

Enjoying go-karting with the two of you is of course hearty fun, this way you can go out together. If you're looking for a 2-person go-kart, BERG is the right place. All our large (XL) go-karts offer the opportunity to explore the world together. This can be done in various ways:
