With direct drive, the crankshaft is directly connected to the rear axle by a chain. This means that the pedals always move when the go-kart is moving, 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, we use it on go-karts for the younger target group - the BERG Buzzy and the BERG Reppy.

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) tires are solid, low-maintenance go-kart tires that cannot puncture and are made from durable and lightweight material.

Pneumatic tires consist of a rim, an inner tube, and an outer tire. They offer more comfort and grip but can puncture and leak.

At BERG, all small go-karts have EVA tires, while all large go-karts are equipped with pneumatic tires.

From the first ride on the BERG Buzzy to the XL go-karts for older children, there is a go-kart for every developmental stage. BERG's go-kart buying guide helps you choose the ideal go-kart for your child, based on age and height. Read here all about the different types and their specific features, such as stability, safety, and adaptability, so your child can enjoy their play adventures safely and comfortably.

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 have a Cradle to Cradle certificate. This means we know exactly where each component comes from, what materials have been used and that these materials are not toxic or polluting. This way we can be sure that the product is not harmful to your child and that we are not putting 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.

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?
