"PMW's rating system is a way for the consumer to be directed to best, closest PMW Go Ped® dealer in their local area. In conjunction with Map Quest, the "Find A Dealer" locator on www.goped.com directs potential Go Ped purchasers to local dealers in their area. The Map Quest function picks the 5 closest geographically to the inputted address. This service supplies a printable map with driving instructions right to the front door of all PMW Go Ped® dealers. The dealer rating is intended to promote those dealers who promote the Go Ped® family of products the best. We have elected to utilize a "5 Star" dealer rating system that emphasizes total customer support.
This rating system is designed to recognize and promote the PMW dealers who support, service, sell and protect the Go Ped® name the best. Since the consumer has typed in www.goped.com, using our brand name to find our products, we feel that this rating system rewards the dealers who best represent us. We look forward to all dealers striving to be the best, and look forward to helping you become a PMW recognized "Gold Star Dealer!" Related Link(s): Goped.com: Find-a-Dealer

This new video is perfect for your store front or tradeshow. It is geared for a wide audience with scenic footage, news segments, freestyle, archive footage, informative interviews, and has that true California Go-Ped® feeling. It is designed to catch people's attention when they pass by, giving them insight into the amazing world of Go-Ped®! It is fifteen minutes long but loops four times, so you don’t need to keep pressing the rewind button. Every dealer NEEDS to have a copy of this running in their store. To check it out to your left. Be sure to order a copy with your next order!
Team Go-Ped® does it again, this time in NY, NY! The riders were Kevin “Littleman” Kiraly, Brandon Currie, Chris Brown, and Tim Patmont showing the limits of Go-Pedding to the extreme community, as never before seen on the East Coast! Some of the amazing tricks included Superman deck grabs, 360s, heel clickers, Antwon airs, and backflips! There were also several entourages of Go-Pedders that managed to show up to support Team Go-Ped! (these pictures came from one of them) The event was held one block away from the Brooklyn Bridge at South Street Seaport only blocks away from Ground Zero. The Core Tourincluded the world's best BMX Pro dirt jumpers and mountain boarders. The next event will be at Huntington Beach, CA for the US Pro Surfing Fusion Philips event August 3rd!
Thank you, GoPed® Dealers, for your overwhelming response to our Factory Training Seminars. Our first three sessions produced 58 fully "Go-Ploma'd" Dealers who have earned their Factory Go-Ped® Silver Star Rating. These training sessions have proven to be very valuable to serious Go-Ped® dealers, not to mention fun! Please be sure to let us know right away if you cannot attend a session that you have signed up for. We can fill that spot with another Dealer on the waiting list. The curriculum being taught ranges from electrical units to the Liquimatic clutch. We have found that we don't need to spend much time covering basic two-stroke theory, because most Dealers have a pretty good handle on that. But please do let us know in advance if you need training on two-stroke theory. We'll be happy to spend some additional time making you feel comfortable in this area. To make your time with us even more memorable, Steve Patmont takes the Dealers on a Go-Pedded tour of the factory...Go-Pedding throughout our nine buildings including the Paint Shop, Machine Shop, Welding Shop, Sub and Final Assembly...and now the Factory Go-Shop! You'll get to meet some of the employees you've been speaking with over the phone for years. It's always great to match a face to the voice you're so familiar with. PMW provides the training, a pizza lunch and dinner at the Cattlemen's Steakhouse! Can't beat that! We look forward to sharing our Go-Crafting knowledge with the next batch of Go-Ped® Dealers. The next seminar is scheduled for September 19th and 20th, 2002. Please contact Scott Bolton at boltons@goped.com to make your reservations. Scott will also provide hotel information and driving directions from the airport.
The International Go Ped® Racing Association held their third race of the year in Rialto, California on July 13th and 14th. Over 150 racers competed in 29 different classes at the Rialto Airport Speedway. These races are such great family events, with racing classes ranging from Pee Wees to Pros.
Tim Patmont worked some serious magic, and was able to get ESPN2 to come out a film the race! With a television crew on hand filming raw footage for a 30-minute television show to air on ESPN2 and Fox Sports in September, the atmosphere was electric. The highlight was the best race of the year in the Super Big Foot Modified Pro Class, where Brandon (B Money) Currie overtook Tim Patmont on the final lap for the victory.
The Rialto race also featured the first ever "Race for the Planet" Electric Hoverboard race, where all proceeds were donated to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) charity. Other
results at Rialto: The final two races in the series will be in Las Vegas Nevada, and San Francisco in September and October. For the complete racing information

I
wish to thank and congratulate all at PMW in the way we pulled off a very difficult
move down at the west end of Wright Brothers Ave. The teamwork, patience and communications
were amazing. We’ve expanded in our past many times, but never like this.
All during this disruption, Tony and his guys Kent, and Juan S. made our first
sheet metal parts in the new sheet metal shop at the other end of Wright Bros
Ave. After Tony and Tina arranged the electrical/electronic infrastructure, Gabe
and his crew of Oscar, Brian, and Chris in shipping moved the entire boxing, shipping,
parts, and parts wrapping operation. Not forgetting the most important customer,
somehow they shipped fairly large orders right out as well. Much thanks goes to
the wisdom of Gabe, Tony and Linda for ordering up a few temps to help the move.
Meanwhile, Both fab and assembly production stayed at full speed, Scott and Jim
P coordinated another great dealer training session, Jim R. and Bob kept the R&D
Skunk Werks as productive as ever, Kevin and Barry almost have the new Factory
Go-Shop store ready, and Anne-Cecile with Gabe’s and other’s help, pumped
out a huge mailing to Germany in time for a big Munich trade show in a couple
weeks. Thanks to Linda for her suggestions, and especially Tina who gracefully
made sure we had very little work station down time, even with short to no notice.
The
recent IGPA race in Rialto CA featured the GSR40 in all IROC scooter racing classes,
and it was the best IROC racing they've ever seen. I was told by the racers that
it was the most fun they'd ever had as well. I hear the Pro's want to go at it
over the jumps on these babies. Now that would be VERY fun to watch. What do you
think IGPA? Dash for cash for the top 10 pro's?
Come
join the growing number of Dealers that have experienced the benefits of financing
their purchases with Go-Kredit™. Go-Kredit™ allows payments to be made 30 days
after product has been shipped. During the month of August, Go-Kredit™ is pleased
to offer a 1% additional discount on your first order. This offer applies to any
dealer that is currently using a credit card to purchase Go-Ped® products.
Want
to use your GSR40 to commute to work but are having problems taking your business
tools along with you? Well, check out the rack on this baby! To further extend
the versatility and usefulness of the GSR40, PMW has designed, developed and tested
a rack that mounts to the rear of the GSR40. It’s easy to install by replacing
the tank mount plate with the rack. The rack allows a suitable mounting platform
for your laptop, books, tools, stowage bag, small cooler, or picnic basket. The
GSR rack is available online and found in “New Stuff”, or the “Accessories”
section of the Go-Shop (part# GSR9001). The suggested retail price is $30. Now
all that is needed is the Sat-Squatch® seat assembly to sweep you off your
feet.
