Fall 2002 Sale Price by Jim Patmonttop

PMW is excited to announce our Fall 2002 Sale Price schedule on all Go-Ped® scooters. This price reduction on all units will be in effect from August 26th until November 1st, 2002. The new schedules should allow many of you to keep your current prices while securing higher margins.

Please note that the new price you will see on the "Dealer Go-Shop" page is the "Credit Card E-Commerce" price. When you use other suggested forms of payment instead of a Credit Card (Go-Kredit®, wire transfer, cashier's check or company check), you will receive an additional 2% off the invoice...automatically. Contact Dave Lindsay at lindsayd@goped.com for further information on Go-Kredit®.

Inquiries regarding payment via wire transfers, direct deposit, and checks should be directed to Grant West, who can be reached at twest@goped.com. When you place an order for over $15,000, you will receive an additional 3% off of invoice. PMW does not accept credit cards on orders over $10,000. PMW has altered the volume discount schedule so you as a dealer will not have to purchase as much as before, but will benefit from even further savings. We feel this will help you prepare for the coming Christmas season that is just around the corner.

We hope you feel valued as part of our family, and we hope this pricing structure helps you in your business as an authorized Go Ped® dealer!

Are You a 5 Star Dealer?by Jim Patmonttop

The 5 Star Dealer Rating System was designed to help the consumer locate the best, most convenient 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 MapQuest function selects the 5 closest Dealers, 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 and bring recognition to dealers who represent the Go Ped® family of products the best with comprehensive sales, service, and protection of the Go-Ped® brand name. We have elected to utilize a "5 Star" dealer rating system that emphasizes total customer support. . 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!"

Go-Ped® on Patrol by Gabe Patmonttop


The GSR40 TS Interceptor "Go-Cop" praised by New York's finest.

Recently Steve Patmont was able to introduce the new "Interceptor" GoPed® to several NYC Police Officers and Firefighters during the California Police and Fire Games. It was met with excitement and approval by these amazing 9/11 heroes. Soon, the Interceptor Go-Ped® will be introduced to similar public service departments throughout the USA with help from PMW authorized dealers, like you.

If you see an opportunity in your area to demonstrate the new Interceptor, please contact PMW Sales Manager, Jim Patmont at patmontj@goped.com. Jim can help you learn more about this exciting concept that will outperform police bicycles, cost less, and be able to be stored in the back of each police cruiser.

R&D by Jim Robbinstop

New & Improved!

A few months ago PMW introduced our first ever chain driven scooter, the GSR40. Since then we have also introduced the GSR40 TS Interceptor, with enhanced features and special engine mods by Go-Ped® Legend Trevor Simpson. We could have stopped there, but as evidence of PMW's commitment to this new model line we are adding new features to both models.

Both models now come with clamp-on throttle levers and relocated kill switches. The clamp-on throttle allows the handlebar controls to be easily rotated to the user's preferred locations. Shorter riders may want the brake and throttle flat, whereas taller riders may want them pointed almost straight down. Now, it's up to the rider! Just loosen the bolts, rotate the controls, and re-tighten. If you do change the factory setup, be sure that the throttle is positioned so that it is not impeded by the brake lever! (see photo)

The standard GSR40 has another feature just introduced, an all-aluminum carrying bracket! The chain-guide-mount now serves as a solid mount for carrying your folded GSR. Our standard hook is installed on the T-bar, and hooks to the lower bracket when folded. Simple and very tough! Works with the GSR Luggage Rack too!

Here's a change that affects both GSRs and Super Bigfoots: a see-through Gray Gas Tank! Now it's easy to see how much fuel you have left! Extensive development resulted in a cool new look which is just as functional as our original white tank. The new tank also bears the Go-Ped® logo! Capacity is 1.5L just like the old black tank it replaces.

Another change has already been introduced on the Bigfoot and Super Bigfoot: a more durable fender! A new material is now being used which is more flexible and resilient than the old model. At first glance you might not be able to tell the difference, but bend it with your hand and you'll see the improvement.

With all of these improvements to the big wheeled scooters, we haven't forgotten about the Sport line either. The Sport, X-ped, Super X-ped now have stronger fenders which will stand up to abuse from even the most aggressive rider. They have a new design too, which makes them easy to spot.

PMW is committed to continually improving our product. Watch this space for more updates in the future.

4th IGPA Scootercross Race in Rialto, CA was the Best! by Linda Corbetttop

The Rialto Go-Ped® Race "Part II" just may have surpassed the original event in terms of great family fun, entertainment, and awesome racing! The Go-Ped® racing experience just keeps getting better and better. A big thanks to Lorenzo Boerboom from Team Rancho Racing and Paul Chong from MLC for their help and sponsorship support. These dedicated teams bring polish and professionalism to Go-Ped® racing, and set the standard for teamwork and hard work!

The race got started early, thanks to all the great people who registered on-line. This allowed LCQ's to take place Saturday afternoon, and the mains were finished by 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. Trophies were distributed after each race instead of at the end, and the Winner's Circle podium provided great photo opportunities.

Get your GSRs ready to race!

Better hurry, the IGPA has added a new class of racing - the 41.5 cc road race class for Amatuers and Pros! You can modify your GSR's exhaust, carburetion, and drive train. However, your GSR frame, engine, stock bore and stroke must remain original.

This class will utilize the Go-Quad coarse and has NO jumps. All other Go-Ped scooters will be allowed to compete in this class too. This race is going to be FAST - we recommend wearing leathers!.

Stay tuned! The next IGPA Race will be announced soon - visit www.igpa.net for the details.

Super Bigfoots Now with Bothy Fork by Tim Patmonttop

Super Bigfoots Now With Bothy Fork! You are most likely aware of Team Go-Ped and the shows that they do all over the world promoting Go-Peds®. Along with this, comes quite a bit of research and development that gets put into the off the shelf Go-Ped products.

One example of this is now all Super Bigfoots come standard with Bothy Forks. Although it is likely your average extreme Go-Ped customer will never need the additional strength of a Bothy Fork, it is the choice for Team Go-Ped while they push the limits of extreme Go-Pedding.

This will not effect the price of the Super Bigfoot as PMW is always working on ways to improve their products while lowering the cost to dealers.
