THE SYSTEM

Brake, Freewheel and Reverse — the BFR Advantage

The BERG Buddy’s BFR system lets riders brake with the pedals, freewheel and reverse immediately after stopping, making low‑speed maneuvers and direction changes intuitive.

THE FIT

Adjustable Seat for Growing Riders

The seat adjusts to three positions so riders can reach the pedals comfortably as they grow, keeping posture and pedaling efficient throughout the rental period.

THE RIDE

Four Wheels, Swing Axle and Pneumatic Tires

Stability comes from four wheels and a swing axle that cushions small surface changes, while pneumatic tires reduce rolling resistance for a smoother, faster‑feeling ride.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

Short bursts of effortless speed and tight, controllable turns define the BERG Buddy experience: pedal to propel, use the pedals to slow, then reverse easily when you stop. The adjustable seating and cushioned front axle translate minor pavement imperfections into an easy, steady ride that invites repeat laps around Costanoa’s paved loops.
