- This Berg Tractor seems to be sold as a toy but I think it might actually hold the answer to mobility problems of the future.

I bought one and modified it with an old lawnmower engine and two racks on back; one for the gas can and one for the beer cooler. The weight in back facilitates popping wheelies, and I can ride for hours and not run out of beer.
A trailer on the back you can carry the gang home from the local after a few drinks
You can get a trailor with 2 seats on it to make it a 4 seater with on extra on the kart if the driver isn't to big.
Oh my god, this is happening. I can get the kids to drive me home from the pub!
Perhaps you can review some of the new and upcoming e-velomobiles?
Here are a few: BioHybrid, Iris e-Trike, Podbike, Podride, Drycycle, Begorett, CityQ
I think these types of vehicles will become quite cheap over time and will be the default mode of transport, unless driverless taxis become super-cheap.
I had one of those as a kid but purely pedal powered. Zero emissions, depending on what I ate that day.
Is "See you on the Farside" related to the Gary Larson drawings of my youth?
Excellent video. Not many reviews or in-depth videoes from users out there sadly. Would you consider making a follow up video now that you've had it for a while longer? I'm particularly interested in the battery life and how much it actually assists as opposed to using just muscle power, especially on an incline.
The hybrid top speed is 9 to 10 mph
perfect for drunk bmw 850 drivers to get home
my post-apocalyptic runabout right there!
Imagine how Mad Max would look if everyone was in one of these!
I have a Zoom Stryder EX electric scooter to commute 6 miles from work on. I'm afraid the UK is not as accommodating to PLEVs on roads. I'd love to have a blast on this though. Love the enthusiasm for the hybrids!
I like the look of this. Whether or not I’ll be allowed one at 43 is a different matter but I’m gonna drop some hints.
Great video. Is it practical to drive without any assistance from the motor, or is the Kart too heavy for that? My son is about to outgrow his Berg Buddy - this would make a nice upgrade for both son and dad. ;)
I have a non hybrid berg. Now I wish I would’ve invested more money to get a hybrid now.
Bob, the 1970's called and they want their failed ideas back. :)
The problem is that that style of vehicle simply isn't practical *for what people will accept as transport*. Another problem is that electric vehicles simply will *not* be able to overcome the range/charge rate problem they currently have - barring some unlikely development in battery tech, that is.
If people and societies genuinely want to move away from fossil fuels for vehicles then the only viable technology we have at the moment is hydrogen. The *only* limitation on hydrogen vehicle uptake is the support infrastructure. But, as was demonstrated in the 1970's with the wide & rapid adoption in several countries of LPG/CNG alternatives, infrastructure for hydrogen can be put in place very quickly - a matter of ~5 years if wanted - far more quickly than what is needed for an electric vehicle support infrastructure.
I'm actually working on a hydrogen video soon so we'll see if it's able to stack up
@@BobFlavinVideo it can't
I wasn’t expecting that on your reviews. At least you don’t have to worry about range anxiety!
The Sinclair C5 is dead .... long live the C5 🤣
Adults with back problems can use this too !
Bob, I'm a first time viewer...... awesome stuff mate .
I've been riding road bicycles for some time and am going to switch over to a berg peddle kart. they are awesome and you just confirmed that for me again. very informative video mate ! keep it up.
I am considering the same - did you see it through?
Would you get up many hils though?????
Hahaha suits you Bob, can imagine you on the m50 😂
The M50 is hard to cope with in a full size car!
@@BobFlavinVideo agreed 😂
Moves about the right speed for the m50...
@@31770 yes Haha
I bought a Triton mobo that I'm modding to a mechanically more efficient quad, but I've got this one on my list as a future mod.
Brilliant Bob my son used to have one of these years ago without extra seat and the trailer and just let me say that dad had as much fun on it as son. No electric though
The electric one is great!
It’s got a two hour usage. Most of the day is a touch longer. I like these, my kid has one. They are heavy and not easy to steal but you can just push it and berg should have considered that the seat can do easily stolen.
Grown man on a pedal toy car, what is the world coming to!!!
Life would be very boring if we were all the same, I'm never growing up
Getting old is mandatory growing up is optional.
Thank you Mr. Berg. An excellent review.
Is this the Ariel atom to a Sinclair C5 ?
Ohh now there’s a thought!
I want a black one with flames on it ,chrome wheels and a fluffy pink seat cover .Cool
Go ahead!
Great ride-on
Ah now is there a cup holder ?
Bob, what model was this Kart? There’s different chassis sizes.
And they said Clive Sinclair was mad!
How long does battrey last on turbo. Cheers
And I think now there is a 4 seater family version.
Mobility scooter with pedals.
Berg is Mountain in Swedish. A mountain size dent
E Go here in Aachen builds these type of hybrids also
This is better then a PlayStation 5
😎
Great value!
16kmh limit is a bummer.
Skoda has came along way!
Realy Nice bike on 4 weels 😎
I think I'm going to Buy One.. Thanks for the. Info... Messaging from. Mobile.. Alabama.. Some of my Ancestors are. Irish.
I need one of these .... So I can pedal by police then zoom off once they're out of sight.
they havent changed their handbrake design since my go kart thats older than me about 21 years old 🤣
It is XXL FRAME? or XL?
Any bag hooks? :-o
Hilarious, like pedal assist is new. Its actually so old its boring already. Gas powered moped have had that for years. Also so have some various electric bikes... 😎
But the doors don't thunk 😂
is this the new self charging toyota?
C'mon! It's goofy as a Disney Dog! It's slow, heavy and looks like child's toy.
Great concept. But lighten it up. Put a 750 or 1000 watt motor in it with more battery power, higher gearing and ferkisakes...put some real disc brakes on the thing. Braking by rubbing a pipe on the tire?? Why not a 2x4 and a nail driven into the side that drags on the ground when you pull it. 😒
I have one but it's not hybrid
Climate does change....hence seasons.
The world is NOT a spinning ball.
Now here's a question....
Why don't electric vehicles have alternators on them so they are constantly charging themselves.
A)... It's not good for business.
Big kid
I'm staying that way!
Bob please do. how boring is it doing to norm and whats expected
It's a go kart
Brilliant skit. All you need now is a baseball cap and a cap gun. :)
aaaand IT IS TO SLOW
Forbidden on public road in belgium 😞😒😒
Bob it's the end of the world... there bringing out an electric MUSTANG FFS!!!!..
I'm out of this yes sir mr Europe Sir country.
Im off to America to drive gas guzzling 6ltr cars, trucks and anything that sounds like a jet engine in heat.......
Electric my hoop😡😡😡
Darnjem Electric your hoop? Sounds raunchy.
I would hot wire it so it makes it fully electric
Jesus I'm sick of fecking electric cars, I'm sticking with diesel.
I’m not sure there’s a diesel version but I can ask Berg 🤣
