BERG Rally Go Kart Range – FAQ

1. What is the BERG Rally range?

The BERG Rally range is a collection of mid-sized pedal go karts designed for children aged roughly 4 to 12 years. They sit between the smaller Buddy karts and the larger XL/XXL frames, making them a perfect “in-between” option for kids who want something more serious than a toy but aren’t ready for the full XL go karts.

2. What ages and heights are Rally go karts suitable for?

Recommended age: approx. 4–12 years
Height range: around 110 cm to 150 cm (depending on seat position)
The Rally karts are adjustable, so the seat can move forward and back to fit your growing child.

3. How big are the Rally go karts?

While exact dimensions vary by model, most Rally karts are around:

Length: ~124 cm
Width: ~70 cm
Height: ~65 cm
Weight: ~25 kg

They are light enough to handle easily but sturdy enough for serious outdoor play.

4. What features do all Rally go karts have?

Adjustable seat with multiple positions for growth.
Swing axle, allowing the front wheels to adjust to uneven ground for better stability.
BFR system (Brake, Freewheel, Reverse) – lets kids brake by backpedalling, coast freely, and pedal backwards into reverse.
Pneumatic tyres for a smooth, grippy ride on tarmac, paths, and even grass.
Durable steel frame with powder coating to resist rust.

5. What does “BFR” mean?

BFR = Brake, Freewheel, Reverse.

Brake: Pedal backwards to slow down and stop.
Freewheel: Coast while the pedals remain still.
Reverse: Once stopped, keep pedalling backwards and the kart reverses.
This system is intuitive and safe, making Rally karts easy to use even for younger children.

6. What Rally models are available?

The Rally range includes several themed designs to match different personalities and terrains:

Rally APX Blue / Red / Yellow – sport-inspired designs.
Rally Jeep® Adventure – with rugged tyres and Jeep branding.
Rally NRG – sleek, sporty look with bright colours.
Rally Force – bold styling with robust tyres.
Each model shares the same frame and core features but differs in styling, tyres, and accessories.

7. Do the Rally go karts have gears?

No. Rally karts use the single-speed BFR system, which is simple, safe, and effective for the age group they’re designed for.

8. What is the maximum user weight?

The Rally range is tested for children up to about 60 kg. It’s designed for pre-teens, not adults.

9. Are Rally go karts suitable for off-road use?

They are mainly designed for paved surfaces, garden paths, and short grass. Models like the Jeep® Rally and Rally Force have chunkier tyres that give better grip on uneven terrain, but these are still mid-sized karts—not heavy-duty farm karts.

10. How safe are BERG Rally go karts?

Stable, four-wheel design with low centre of gravity.
Swing axle keeps all four wheels on the ground, even on bumps.
BFR braking system provides quick, intuitive stops.
Durable construction prevents frame failure or wobble.
Enclosed chain guard keeps clothing and fingers safe.

11. How easy are they to assemble?

Assembly typically takes about 45–60 minutes with basic tools. Instructions are included, and all parts are pre-drilled and pre-measured for convenience. Most families find it straightforward.

12. Can adults ride a Rally go kart?

No. The Rally range is designed specifically for children aged 4–12. For teens or adult riders, BERG recommends the XL or XXL frames.

13. What accessories are available for Rally go karts?

Popular Rally accessories include:

Safety flag for visibility.
LED lights or light poles for added realism and safety.
Soundbox with fun driving noises (horn, engine, braking).
Trailer (small) for carrying toys and gear.
Covers to protect the kart when stored outdoors.

14. What is the difference between Rally and Buddy go karts?

Buddy range (ages 3–8, height 100–130 cm): Smaller, lighter karts with similar BFR system.
Rally range (ages 4–12, height 110–150 cm): Larger frame, wider wheelbase, more “grown-up” styling.
So Rally is the natural step up after Buddy, before moving into the XL frame go karts.

15. How much space is needed to use a Rally go kart?

A Rally kart can be enjoyed in a driveway, garden path, cul-de-sac, or green area. Because of its mid-size, it doesn’t need as much open space as an XL kart, but it still benefits from safe, flat areas where kids can pedal freely.

16. How do Rally go karts compare with cheaper alternatives?

Unlike many plastic or lightweight pedal cars:

Rally karts have steel frames for strength.
Pneumatic tyres give better grip and smoother rides.
BFR drive system is safer and more versatile than fixed pedals.
Longevity: Rally karts are built to last years, not months.

17. What is the warranty on Rally go karts?

Frame warranty: up to 2 years (extendable by registering with BERG).
Parts warranty: usually 1 year.
Trampolines Ireland can assist with warranty registration and sourcing spare parts.

18. How do I maintain a Rally go kart?

Keep tyres inflated properly.
Store indoors or under a cover to protect from weather.
Clean mud and dirt from the frame and chain guard.
Occasionally check bolts and nuts for tightness.
Avoid leaving outside long-term in wet conditions.

19. Do Rally go karts come with a passenger seat?

No. Passenger seats are only available for the larger XL/XXL models. Rally karts are single-seater only.
