Maintaining Your BERG Go-Kart

Just like a real car, your BERG go-kart may need some maintenance after heavy use or long periods of standing still to ensure it stays safe and runs smoothly. Have you already covered a lot of ground and want to know how to best take care of your BERG go-kart? Then read on!

Standard checks

Always start by checking the tire pressure. Well-inflated tires not only provide a more comfortable and smoother ride, but also improve grip on the road. If you notice the tires aren’t firm enough, inflate them to the recommended pressure.

It’s also important to regularly check that all screws and bolts are tightened securely. Loose screws can lead to unsafe situations, so make sure to tighten them properly with the right tools. The steering should move smoothly—if it feels stiff, a bit of silicone spray on the ball bearings can help restore easy movement.

Comfortably grow with your BERG go-kart

If you’ve grown and the seating position is no longer comfortable, you can easily adjust the seat by lifting it and sliding it backward for a better fit. On some go-karts, you may need to loosen or rotate the seat first before repositioning it—this is quick and easy to do. It’s also essential to test the brakes regularly. Apply the brakes firmly a few times, and if they feel stiff, use some silicone spray to get them working smoothly again.

A clean go-kart doesn’t just ride better—it also looks fresher. That’s why it’s a good idea to give your go-kart a wash every now and then. Use a bucket of soapy water and a cloth to wipe away dirt and dust, keeping your go-kart shining.

Worn-out parts?

If, during maintenance, you notice any parts that are worn or damaged, it’s time to replace them. Ordering original BERG spare parts is easy via official dealers or the BERG webshop. Make sure you have the correct model and specifications of your go-kart on hand to order the right parts.

By performing regular maintenance and replacing parts when needed, your BERG go-kart will stay safe and fun to ride.
