The Go-Ped Story
Beginning in 1985, Steve Patmont, his wife Hannelore, and two sons Gabe and Tim launched Patmont Motor Werks, creators of the Go-Ped Brand of original folding motorized scooters. They began by building Go-Peds in their Pleasanton California garage for friends and family that just had to have one and it blossomed from there. Knowing the market opportunities were endless for their fun and safe, carefree design, the Patmont family secured a patent and began shopping their invention around to purveyors of yachts and personal aircraft as a light and portable alternative transportation device to extend transportation choices for various commuting and recreation uses.

The Patmont family introduced the patented Cantilevered Independent Dynamic Linkless Indispension (C.I.D.L.I.) in 2005. This revolutionary yet simple and extremely effective suspension system redefined the portable transportation market once again. Off-road enthusiasts and those simply wishing for a more comfortable ride can also experience the amazing benefits of these practical and portable Gopeds.

Today Patmont Motor Werks is the world leader in personal transportation and proudly produces the world's finest portable transportation devices out of it's "enlarged garage," a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art production facility in Minden, Nevada. The Patmont family has kept PMW strong by constantly innovating new and improved products. In addition to an excellent selection of scooters and carts, the introduction of the ESR750 pure electric GoPed scooter line in 2003 offers a zero emission, environmentally-friendly transportation device for those wishing to reduce climate change, their carbon footprint, beat the rising prices of fossil fuel, and foreign oil dependence.

Customer Reviews

Unreliable
After less than 3 months, the pull cord stopped working and the scooter won't start. Amazon is of NO help whatsoever. The manufacturer has offered to send a replacement part, but does not cover labor to repair. This is a horrible experience and I would stay away from buying this product and especially if there is no local dealer. Amazon's attitude is simply unacceptable.
UPDATE: after installing the new pull, the engine failed. The warranty is good for 90 days and so it cost me $200 to repair the engine, which was obviously defective at time of purchase. Goped's response to everything is that products are tested at the factory. Yeah .. I am sure every auto manufacturer also tests their products at the factory, but how many cars have warranty work done ... PLENTY. Enough .. Goped is not a trustworthy company and their retailer (Amazon) should be ashamed of leaving a customer in the air. AVOID THIS PRODUCT OR BUY YOURSELF AN EXPENSIVE HASSLE.

How to get a 15 year old out of the house....
I've hardly seen my son since Christmas - except to take him to buy gas on 4 different occassions. The scooter starts right up every time and has him VERY impressed!

Go-Ped GSR Sport
Pros: Light, compact, efficient.

Cons: Rough ride, handles poorly, takes bumps VERY hard, difficult to start(pull-start), a hassle to mix gas/oil.

Advice: Pick up the Electric Hoverboard for a few hundred bucks more - you will be glad you did! Great suspension, starts at the push of a button, rides smooth(larger wheels and tires & great suspension!). Heavier, but much higher quality.
