Why BERG Buddy is Perfect for Ages 3-8

BERG Buddy fills the critical gap:

Too old for: Ride-on toys, push cars, baby trikes Too young for: Rally (ages 4-12) or XL (ages 5+) - often too large Perfect for: BERG Buddy - professional features for ages 3-8!

Why Buddy is ideal:

• ✅ Smaller frame (115cm) - perfectly proportioned for 3-6 year olds
• ✅ Lighter weight (18-20kg vs 25kg Rally) - easier to pedal
• ✅ Lower seat height - easy to mount/dismount
• ✅ Professional BFR system - safe freewheel & back-pedal brake
• ✅ Grows 3-8 years - adjustable = 5 years of use
• ✅ Most affordable BERG (€339-€489)

Key Features

1. Perfect Size for Young Children

Specifications:

• Length: 115cm | Width: 65cm | Height: 63cm | Weight: 18-20kg
• Height range: 100-130cm (3ft 3in - 4ft 3in)
• Age range: 3-8 years | Weight capacity: 50-60kg

Why size matters:

• Proportioned for 3-6 year olds (not too big, not too small)
• Easy to mount/dismount independently

2. BFR System - Professional Performance

BFR = Brake, Freewheel, Reverse

How it works:

• Pedal forward - drives go kart
• Freewheel - pedals stay still when coasting (SAFE downhill)
• Back-pedal brake - pedal backwards to brake
• Reverse - continue back-pedaling to reverse

Why BFR critical for ages 3-8:

• SAFETY: Freewheel prevents dangerous leg-spinning downhill
• INTUITIVE: Back-pedal braking like training bikes
• INDEPENDENT: Can reverse without help
• PROFESSIONAL: Not found on toy go karts

BERG Buddy is the ONLY go kart for ages 3-8 with patented BFR technology.
