BERG Duo Coaster

At Costanoa in Pescadero, California, the BERG Duo Coaster turns a seaside campground into a makeshift racetrack for two. This tandem pedal kart, designed for ages 7+ and two riders, blends low-tech fun with thoughtful engineering: two independent drive sets, six-position seat adjustments to accommodate kids and adults, an articulated front end, and a patented transmission with reverse. The frame handles smoothly thanks to sealed ball bearings, positive steering joints, and heavy-duty connections, while standard features like coaster pedal braking, hand brakes, and a parking brake keep the ride controllable for families.

Rentals are available from the Activities Pod for roughly $30 per hour; guests should arrive five to ten minutes early to check in, review rules, and get fitted. Helmets are available on request and included in the rental fee. Add one or two optional rumble seats so smaller children — up to 40 pounds each — can ride along while older kids or adults provide the leg power.

Total weight capacity for the Duo Coaster is 500 pounds. What makes this activity a standout at Costanoa is how it pairs with the property’s coastal landscape: after a lap on Rossi Road and the campground loops around Pine Village and the RV rows, you can push off to explore nearby sandy bluffs, the Pescadero Marsh, and a band of Monterey pines that shade the farm roads. The pedal-powered format fits the quiet ethos here: no engines, no fumes, just human-powered speed against a backdrop of Pacific coastal scrub and long tidal estuaries.

That quiet is part of the attraction for families who want playful competition without disrupting wildlife or fellow campers. Practical rules matter. Pedal karts must stay on paved roads within the park; rentals are suspended in wet conditions because the metal-on-rubber brakes lose effectiveness when tires are wet.

Footwear rules are strict — closed-toe tennis shoes recommended; no Crocs, sandals, or slides. This simple gear and these small limits keep the experience safe and consistent. Whether you’re aiming for a family time trial, a slow cruise with a toddler in a rumble seat, or a short fitness push, the BERG Duo Coaster at Costanoa is a deliberate, local-flavored activity that makes the most of Pescadero’s slow-moving coastal recreation scene.

It’s easy to learn, hard not to laugh, and fast enough to make even a five-minute lap feel like a small triumph. Bring a camera, water, and patience for passing pedestrians; early mornings reveal sea fog rolling in and late afternoons light the dunes. For families visiting Pescadero, the Duo Coaster is an easy, memorable complement to beach walks, farm-to-table meals at the lodge, and tidepooling at nearby state beaches.
