4. Operating the Pedal Kart
The BERG Rally NRG Orange is equipped with the unique BFR-system for easy and intuitive control.
4.1 BFR-System (Brake, Forward, Reverse)
The BFR-system allows you to brake, drive forward, and reverse using only the pedals. This system ensures a smooth and simple riding experience.
- Forward: Pedal forward to move the kart forward.
- Brake: To brake, pedal backward. This engages the coaster brake.
- Reverse: After coming to a standstill, continue pedaling backward to engage reverse gear.
- Freewheel: The pedals remain stationary while the wheels continue to spin, allowing for coasting.

4.2 Steering
Steer the pedal kart by turning the steering wheel left or right. The responsive steering allows for agile maneuvering.
4.3 Parking Brake
The pedal kart includes a parking brake for secure parking. Engage the parking brake when the kart is stationary to prevent accidental movement.
4.4 Pneumatic Tires and Swing Axle
The BERG Rally NRG Orange is equipped with pneumatic tires for a smoother ride and better grip, and a swing axle for stability on uneven terrain.
