Looking for the best go-karts for kids? Here at Wicken Toys, we supply a wide range of pedal go-karts for different age groups, produced by the popular manufacturer BERG.
No matter the time of year, we can offer next-working-day delivery in the UK for most of the BERG go-karts we currently have in stock, so you can come to us for a quick gifting solution.
The best BERG go-kart for any child will depend on their age, height, physical abilities, and style preferences (as well as your budget!). With so many designs and mechanisms to choose from, we’re here to break things down for you in this simple guide to the best go-karts for different ages.
Read on to discover which BERG pedal go-kart will be most suitable for your toddler, child, or teen!
Best Go-Karts for Toddlers
Is there a tot in your life that’s just learning to walk and move their body? While they may be too small for a BERG classic go-kart right now, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a BERG ride-on toy for their age.
First, the BERG GO is a foot-to-floor car that provides a much more stable alternative to a tricycle, helping toddlers develop their motor skills and leg strength.
Second, if they’re ready to start pedalling, the BERG GO2 comes with fold-down pedals, so they can upgrade from scooting to cycling with four solid wheels.
The GO and GO2 models are meant for little ones from 10–30 months old, but if they’re already big enough to quickly outgrow a BERG GO2, push-handle Buzzy models are suitable from 24 months old and up.
Best Go-Karts for 2–6 Year Olds
If you’re searching for a starter go-kart for a child between 2 and 5 years old, the BERG Buzzy range is ideal. A BERG Buzzy pedal kart has a smaller frame and a direct-drive system for easy pedalling backwards and forwards, with an adjustable seat to suit heights from 85 cm to 115 cm.
This means that kids can continue to use these go-karts as they grow from toddlers to school-aged children, until they exceed the maximum height or the weight limit of 30 kg.
For children who are already towards the middle of this age range, you may prefer to invest in a BERG Reppy, which suits kids up to 6 years old with a height range of 95 cm to 125 cm and a maximum weight of 40 kg.
A fixed connection between the rear axle and pedals allows kids to control these sleeker models smoothly, showing off cool detailing on designs like the BERG Reppy Roadster and the BERG Reppy BMW go-kart.
Both the Buzzy and Reppy collections feature puncture-proof tyres and include a variety of colours, but the Reppy range gets bonus points for models that come with a soundbox, for a more realistic driving experience!
Best Go-Karts for 3–8 Year Olds
The next age range up is 3 to 8 years old, with the BERG Buddy collection offering BERG pedal karts for kids who need something bigger and more robust, with a greater selection of styles.
This includes the always popular BERG Buddy John Deere go-kart, which looks like the real tractor, and the BERG Buddy Wrangler, which takes inspiration from the Jeep brand.
Other fun designs include the BERG Buddy Cross pedal go-kart, which has a unique two-tone colourway and also comes with the BERG soundbox to help kids feel like real racers!
These are for children up to 130 cm tall who weigh up to 50 kg, with air-filled tyres for smooth driving on different terrains and a BFR (brake, freewheel, and reverse) system for better control.
Best Go-Karts for 4–12 Year Olds
Want something that will last a pre-schooler right through primary school? The BERG Rally range covers the gap between smaller Buddy karts and XL karts for larger riders, offering a compact design for children who are confident drivers and want a more streamlined experience.
Made for kids aged 4 to 12 years old, ranging from 110 cm to 150 cm in height and up to 60 kg in weight, BERG Rally karts feature the BFR system with swing axle suspension for extra stability.
Great for growing riders in this bracket, there are several bold colours to choose from, plus classic finishes like black and blue.
Alternatively, if you want something a bit more unique, the Street X models take go-karting to a new level with a 5-wheel system steered using the whole body, so it’s hard to get bored!
Best Go-Karts for Teenagers
Is the child you’re buying for growing up fast and already on their way to secondary school? Whether they’re in their tween phase or already an adolescent, you shouldn’t worry that they’re too old for go-karting.
Both BERG and Wicken Toys understand that the exhilaration of driving a go-kart is brilliant fun at any age. Thanks to BERG XL go-karts, the fun doesn’t have to stop when kids hit their teenage years!
The BERG XL BFR range is designed for braver and more skilled go-kart drivers, starting no younger than 5–7 years old or from 125 cm tall.
These strong, heavier frames are suitable for riders up to 190 cm tall who weigh up to 100 kg, which means that not only teenagers but also adults can ride these go-karts if they’re within the height and weight limits listed by the manufacturer.
Want a speedier solution for a teenage racer? The BERG XL BFR-3 range takes things up a notch by adding three gears, making it easier for riders to build up speed or tackle slopes. Like the BERG XL karts, the BFR-3 models offer six seat adjustment positions and a variety of colours.
Thought that was all? We’re not done yet – for the most advanced riders up to 210 cm tall and weighing up to 100 kg, the BERG XXL E-BFR combines a 10 cm-larger frame with eight adjustable seat positions and a 250 W electric motor with four modes, which can reach up to 16 km/h!
It’s important to note, though, that next-day delivery isn’t available for the XL BFR-3 and XXL E-BFR models, as we provide in-house delivery for these larger and heavier karts. So, if you want your teenager’s go-kart to arrive fast, a standard BERG XL may be your best bet!
