5. Operating Instructions
The BERG GO² offers two primary modes of operation:
5.1 Push Car Mode (Ages 10-30 Months)
In this mode, the pedals are folded away, allowing the child to use their feet to push themselves along, similar to a balance bike or walker. This helps develop balance and coordination.
- Ensure pedals are fully retracted and locked into position.
- Place the child on the seat with their feet comfortably touching the ground.
- Encourage the child to push off with their feet to move forward.
- Adult supervision is crucial to guide and assist the child.
5.2 Pedal Gokart Mode (Ages 10-30 Months)
Once the child has developed sufficient coordination, the pedals can be deployed for a pedaling experience.
- To deploy the pedals, locate the pedal release mechanism (usually a button or lever near the pedal housing).
- Press the release and pull the pedals out until they click securely into place.
- Ensure both pedals are fully extended and locked before the child uses them.
- Place the child on the seat and guide their feet onto the pedals.
- Teach the child to pedal forward.
- To retract the pedals, reverse the deployment process, ensuring they are fully folded away and locked.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your BERG GO².
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and seat with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the wheels and tires for wear or damage.
- Pedal Mechanism: Ensure the pedal deployment and retraction mechanism operates smoothly. If it becomes stiff, clean any debris and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
- Storage: Store the BERG GO² in a dry, covered area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BERG GO², consider the following common solutions:
- Difficulty with Pedals: If pedals are hard to deploy or retract, check for obstructions or dirt in the mechanism. Ensure the release button/lever is fully engaged.
- Unstable Ride: Verify that all wheels are securely attached and that the tires are free from damage. Ensure the child is within the recommended age range.
- Squeaking Noises: Inspect moving parts for friction. A small amount of lubricant on pivot points (avoiding wheel surfaces) may resolve squeaking.
- Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon unboxing, contact BERG customer support immediately.
