What is the difference between EVA and pneumatic tires?

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.

How should I maintain my go-kart?

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?

Highlights

The BFR system for intuitive riding and braking

The BERG Buddy is equipped with the unique BFR system. BFR stands for Brake, Freewheel and Reverse. With the BFR system, you can brake with the pedals, and can also reverse immediately after stopping.

Adjustable to your height

If you want to have years of fun playing with the BERG Buddy, you can adjust the seat. The seat can be adjusted in three different positions, so you can always reach the pedals.

A stable and safe grip on the road

The BERG Buddy has excellent stability thanks to its four wheels, and is also equipped with a swing axle. This allows the front wheels to move slightly up and down to cushion any unevenness in the road.

A comfortable and smooth ride

The BERG Buddy has pneumatic tires, for an extra-smooth ride. These tires have less rolling resistance for easier pedaling. This means you can go faster! You'll ride with extra comfort on the BERG Buddy.

5/5
Mooie skelter van super goede kwaliteit!
Mijn zoontje van 4 is super blij met zijn Jeep skelter. Deze ziet er niet alleen heel mooi uit, hij is ook nog eens van super stevige en goede kwaliteit. In elkaar zetten was zo gedaan. Het enige wat jammer is, is dat het stoeltje los zit. Hierdoor viel hij er een keer uit bij een hoge schuine stoep. Gelukkig is dat bij één keer gebleven. Verder echt super. Het kost wat maar dan krijg je ook wat!

FAQ

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.

View the BERG go-kart buying guide

A BERG go-kart undergoes extensive testing before it is released to the market. Internally, we test whether the go-kart is safe to use, ergonomically sound, and meets BERG’s high-quality standards. After that, the go-kart is also thoroughly tested by an external testing agency. This ensures that the go-kart meets all European safety requirements, allowing us to confidently apply the mandatory CE marking. In addition, our smallest go-karts are also TUV GS 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.

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 in reverse after the go-kart has slowed down. This unique combination of features can only be found on BERG go-karts and is ideal for fast forward and reverse pedaling and braking.
