More than twenty five years ago, young Henk van den BERG built a pedal go-kart. His workshop was a barn on his parents farm. He and his friends had so much fun with the kart, that they all begged to have one of their own, so he built some more. From this humble beginning, BERG Toys was born.
All these years later BERG Toys is an industry leader. They create beautiful pedal go-karts in all shapes and sizes, and sell them in more than forty countries. From Australia to America and from Africa to Europe: parents, teachers, and children around the world agree that BERG pedal go-karts are the best!
I first saw BERG Karts in February, at the Toy Fair in New York City. I was immediately drawn to the sturdy construction, attractive designs, and the fantastic play possibilities. I later learned that there is an impressive team of designers who keep up with the latest trends and share them with the engineers so they can incorporate style into their ideas as they continuously improve the product line. The end result is a wide variety of very high quality, eye catching pedal karts.
Not only does BERG Toys design their karts, but most of them are built in their company owned factory in Holland, and strict quality control is applied. Great care goes into each step of the process, and only the best materials and manufacturing techniques are permitted. Thorough testing in their own lab setting and by outside agencies helps to ensure that a purchase is durable, safe, and comfortable. This allows the rider to concentrate on fun.
One of the newest designs is this fantastic Rally Kart in Orange. Suitable for ages 4-12, it will provide years of enjoyment for a family.
This sporty kart is able to make tight turns, and allows the driver to pedal forward, brake, and then pedal backwards. The seat is specially molded for comfort, and can be adjusted into five different positions. On the back there is a convenient red reflector and spring loaded hitch pin to pull a trailer! (trailer sold separately)
The Rally Pedal Kart is attractive from all sides and can accommodate a wide size range of drivers. It will be available for purchase in late summer this year with a suggested retail price of $529.
While BERG pedal karts are a great choice for any child, I couldn’t help but immediately see the therapeutic benefits they could offer for my own. Children on the autism spectrum (like my sons who have Asperger Syndrome) really need to engage in exercise that will use their large muscle groups. Pedaling also provides joint compression in the knees and ankles, which many find extremely helpful as well. This type of exercise can also improve balance, coordination, and body awareness.
Since many spectrum kids have a terrible time trying to manage two wheeled bicycles, a kart like this could be a better alternative. The low center of gravity and wide base would allow them to ride in comfort, without feeling embarrassed or frustrated. When my sons outgrew their training wheels, they would have loved a neat looking kart like this one.
BERG Toys also makes a product line called MOOV that is quite brilliant. By configuring, and reconfiguring the pieces in the kit, children can build actual ride on toys. They can plan, build and play. It is great exercise for the mind, and the body! There is also a sense of pride and accomplishment.
The whole lineup of BERG karts can be seen by visiting the BERG USA website at www.bergtoys-usa.com/ . You may also choose to like the facebook page, follow on Twitter, subscribe to the BERG USA blog or check out the YouTube channel.

I personally like the safari and the two seaters. My 3 daughters, however, would like the Pink Buddy. I grew up with a Kettler Car and was bummed when we moved and had to sell my little red one and my sister’s yellow one. A couple years ago I came across one locally and was excited for my girls. I couldn’t help but think about how fun it would be for me too, though it is too small. With that said, I’m thrilled to find a company that makes the for us big kids too! Kuddos!
Oh I love the BERG Junior Orange Buddy! My nephew has one and Carter just loves it! These are such great ride ons and they last forever! Such a great quality! Would love on!
BERG X-plorer XT (AF) That is awesome. I love it because my oldest son (who is too big for his little brothers’ ride on toys) could really get some use out of it in our hilly back yard. He would love any of them, but this is an impressive item!

I like the Jeep Junior because my kids would love that it looks like a car, and it’s pretty gender neutral for my boy and girl.
Any of the traxx looks cool
Italia Pedal Go-Kart
Love the Traxx, but also the Biky (my daughter is just learning to balance on her bike and not having an easy time of it.)
I had something similar to this when I was small (late 50′s,early 60′s) only mine was enclosed and had the body of a red sports car, no roof. When we lived in Titusville, FL we had this long drive way and our house set up on a hill. Used to drive my Mom crazy that I would start at the top and pedal really fast then let the down momentum carry me away because I always end up on the other side of the street before I would stop! My granddaughter would love to have one of your carts! She has promised Nanny she will not ride it in the street.
I love the Gran Tour, but for just one person the Traxx series are cool
like the Ferrari 150° Italia. Its age approriate for my kids and they love racing
I like the Pink Buddy. It’s cute, offers great back support and, and you can pedal in reverse. How cool is that!
the berg roxy would have my daughters flipping out im pretty sure
The pedal cart that appeals to me the most is Ferrari 150° Italia pedal go-kart because it is very much my sons style and perfect for his age range since it covers from 3 – 8 and he just turned three!
I love the Ferrari 150° Italia because it would make my racecar fans happy!
Ferrari 150
The Berg X-treme would be cool…

Great giveaway – thank you! (And thanks to Heidi S. for pointing me in your direction!!)
they look well made and i love pedal power!
The New Holland BF 3 looks cool, also the Berg X polorer xt-3 (BF3). Really they are all cool : )
I love the 2 seated chopper because than both kids can go on it and not fight lol. For me love the roxy!
These look like fun. A couple of our older kids are allowed to drive the 4-wheelers. One of these would make the littles feel like they are participating too. What fun!!!

I like the Tractor Mac Buddy because we live on a farm.
Fendt AF
All of them look fun to me, I like the Jeep Wrangler AF because it’s rugged and we have a jeep.
