Chassis Setup: Sooner or later, someone will start to upgrade the kart’s ride and handling. No matter who initiates these improvements, you’ll be able to work with your kids and see the benefits. Who ever thought that your 12-year-old would be seriously thinking about negative camber and a limited-slip? A bonus option is an electric start. Some push mowers feature a starter and charging system, though this setup does require a battery. Some snow blowers use similar systems, while others use 110-volt starters that only work with power cords. If you want to spoil your kids—or save your own arm—look for electric start. Most non-racing go-karts are based on bits and pieces from small engines. Think of the ones powering lawnmowers, snow blowers and other yard implements. We prefer to use four-cycle engines for our karts. Our preferred chassis generally come with engines that are too big and heavy for our tastes, so we often mount smaller engines. As a bonus, most of these mowers already have five-speed Peerless gearboxes. Brakes, steering and even wiring can often be modified and reused, so these mowers give you most of what you need to get started.

Because of the BFR hub, the BERG Buddy John Deere combines optimum safety with maximum driving pleasure giving many hours of fun and excitement. BERG Buddy John DeereFeatures: Whoever says that go-karting is only for boys is entirely wrong! There are many go-karts to choose from for both boys and girls. For the little ones, the BERG GO2 is available in 3 different colours. The Buzzy, Reppy, Buddy and Rally are also available in different versions for boys and girls. There are even pink go-karts available, such as the Buzzy Bloom or the Buddy Lua. BFR, BFR-3, E-BFR, E-BFR-3 and XXL-BFR. What does it mean? Child safe - the tipping point is further out from the centre of gravity because of the 4-wheel design. Wheels: Rubber, tractor, air filled, tubeless tires with aggressive tractor tread help to keep the kart rolling in the dirt. Tires should be filled to around 20 psi, never to exceed 22 psi. Each yellow rim has sealed bearings to keep the kart rolling smoothly for years and years. True to form, the front tires are smaller (40cm) than the rear tires (46cm).The most primitive brakes are scrub brakes—metal flaps that rub against the tires. While they work okay, we prefermore elegant solutions such as band, drum and disc brakes. Most riding mowers use one of these setups, and adapting them to a kart is pretty straightforward.

The XXL-BFR system is again the same BFR system, only this time on an extra long and sturdy frame. The difference with the standard BFR model is that the seat is adjustable in 8 positions instead of 6, which ensures that even taller people can easily go-kart. In addition, the XXL-BFR system has an extra reinforced frame, making it even stronger than the frame of the BFR go-karts. The pedals and steering wheels of this go-kart work independently, meaning that the pedals won’t move as your children are steering. This allows children’s feet to be firmly planted on the pedals at all times. The wheels featured on this go kart are designed to be silent whisper, meaning they won’t make loud noises whilst in use. If you’re using a centrifugal clutch and a chain, you’ll want to shop for a smaller gear for the axle. (Most centrifugal clutches come with one gear size, so you’ll need to work with the gear on the axle.) Berg Go-Karts are a popular choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a fun and active way to enjoy the outdoors. They provide great opportunities for exercise, exploration, and family bonding.Diagnostics: Chances are strong that something’s going to break once your kart is on the ground. Your kids will learn how to fix it and also discover why things break. These diagnostic skills will be valuable, no matter what career path your kids eventually choose. Thanks to adjustable seat unit and steering column with handy steering wheel this farm go-kart will grow with your child from 5 years old. Heavy wheels with deep tread tyres fitted in the super durable frame provide a great ride through the fields and forests. The swing axle keeps the wheels on the ground, even on bumpy countryside terrain. Double ball bearings fitted into steering system, makes this agriculture kart extremely light to manoeuvre. We often just adapt lawnmower steering components, retaining the basic geometry with maybe a few tweaks. This step can involve some fabrication, as we typically section the mower’s spindles to lower them. This go-kart comes with an adjustable seat giving the user many years of excitement and happiness with this go-kart as they grow with it taking them from a child through to adult.

There are myriad other options when it comes to finding donor junk. We recommend getting friendly with the local mower junkyard—every town has one—to scout and dream up ideas. The mower junkyard is going to charge more than the real grassroots sources, but the convenience may be worth it. Finding Said Junk Math Skills: When you’re swapping pulley ratios, figuring out speeds, or looking at linkage ratios—for example, 3 inches of brake pedal travel to 1 inch of band linkage—your kids will hopefully learn some engineering math. You may learn something new, too.Now the power has to be transmitted to the wheels. The easiest way to do this is with a centrifugal clutch mounted on a horizontal shaft engine. Clutches are available in all shaft and chain configurations as well as belt-drive varieties. Comes with both an adjustable saddle and adjustable steering so therefore grows with your child as they grow. BERGJohn Deere Features:

You’ll also need to modify the gear or pulley ratios. Mowers are geared for power at low speeds. Since you’re not cutting grass anymore, you can increase the pulley ratios and speeds without worrying about having enough power. Built to be very sturdy and safe, a smooth ride is also guaranteed due to the swing axle. BERG XL John Deere BFRFeatures: The wheels run fast and smoothly thanks to the roll-bearings. Steering can be done with just one finger due to the double ball bearing equipped steering mechanism. The John Deere brand has been in existence for over 175 years.

Berg Buddy Fendt Junior Go-Kart for 3-8 years old

We’re talking about grassroots go-karts here. They can scratch your tool-time itch and make you a better parent at the same time. And when we say “make a vehicle out of junk,” we really do mean old junk. Our favorite chassis for these home-built yard karts come from cast-off ridinglawnmowers. Some Berg Go-Karts are designed for off-road use, like the Berg XXL X-Cross BFR, featuring sturdy tires and a robust frame that can handle rough terrain, making them suitable for adventures on dirt trails, grass, or even sand. Safety Features: Berg offers a wide range of go-kart models to cater to different age groups and preferences. They have go-karts designed specifically for kids, like the Buddy and Reppy range, and more advanced models for teenagers and adults, like the Berg XL. Off-Road Capabilities: The lawnmower bench racing community first recommends removing the governor. We generally agree, but with a few conditions. Remember that the governor’s job is to keep the engine running at 3600 rpm so the mower can handle a lawn’s rough spots.
