What is the minimum age to rent the PRIME XL-4?

The activity listing indicates ages 7 and up are appropriate; adult supervision is recommended for younger riders.

How much does the rental cost and how long can I rent it?

Rentals are $20 per hour with booking windows from 1 to 8 hours available.

Where do I check in for my rental?

Check in at the Activities Pod; arrive 5–10 minutes early to complete check-in and review safety rules.

Are carts allowed off paved roads?

No—pedal carts must remain on paved roads within the park, including Rossi Road, RV rows, Pine Village, and Ohlone Garden Tent Village loops.

What happens if it rains?

Pedal the Park: PRIME XL-4 BERG Buddy at Costanoa in Pescadero

Q: Are helmets provided?

Yes—helmets are available upon request and are included in the rental cost.

The PRIME XL-4 (blue) pedal cart at Costanoa gives families and curious adults a simple machine that turns a short hour into a highlight of any Pescadero visit. Located inside Costanoa’s resort footprint in Pescadero, California, this four-wheeled BERG Buddy rental offers intuitive pedaling with a BFR system—brake, freewheel, and reverse—so riders can explore the paved loops around Rossi Road, the RV rows, Pine Village, and the Ohlone Garden Tent Village with confidence. The cart’s adjustable seat, pneumatic tires, and swing-axle front end soak up minor bumps while keeping stability high; small riders can reach the pedals thanks to three seat positions and everyone benefits from a low center of gravity and responsive handling.

Rentals run by the hour and scale from a quick spin to extended family circuits; the listing allows bookings from 1–8 hours at $20 per hour. Helmets are available upon request and are included in the rental price. Staff ask that you arrive 5–10 minutes early to check in at the Activities Pod and review safety rules. Note important restrictions: carts must remain on paved roads within the park, and rentals are suspended in wet conditions because the carts use a metal-on-rubber brake that performs poorly when tires are wet.

What makes this offering stand out is its combination of simplicity and engineered design: the BERG Buddy’s BFR system gives riders a straightforward way to control speed and direction without complex gearing, while pneumatic tires reduce rolling resistance for smoother, faster cruises. For parents, the low risk profile and visible loops make it easy to supervise kids seven and up, while adults appreciate the physical pace and playful feel of a pedal-powered vehicle with a 350 lb / 150 kg maximum load rating.

Practical tips: wear closed-toe shoes, skip sandals or crocs, and expect staff to enforce footwear rules. Pick a clear, dry morning for the best traction and visibility, and keep your route to Rossi Road and the marked loops to respect campground traffic patterns. If you’re staying overnight in the RV rows or tent village, consider timing a rental at golden hour for a low-sun ride that softens the landscape.

This pedal cart is a small, active way to expand your Costanoa days: it’s approachable, mechanically clever, and rooted in the built campground—ideal for quick outings, family fun, and a memorable spin while visiting Pescadero. Families should note the reservation allows kids ages 7 and up, and a maximum rider weight of 350 lbs (150 kg) keeps load limits clear. Brakes rely on dry pavement, and high-season afternoons are ideal. Use the Activities Pod as your meeting point, arrive early, and treat the cart as a human-powered way to move through the campground community.
