New Parts/Changes:

 

The new "Gold" 6 tooth counter shaft sprocket made from Top-Secret Go-Tanium.

Created by PMW R&D and Machining "Skunk Werks" and made with Go-Tanium, a proprietary Top-Secret
"anti shock" manufacturing process in Minden NV, and available at very reasonable pricing.
It is by far the strongest, toughest, hardest, unbreakable and longest wearing drive sprocket of them all, including the Italian Polini pocket bike drive sprockets.

This sprocket is amazing! We've tested one on our new GSR25 for 6 continous hours at WOT (3 tanks of gas) and it still looked new . We also did an impact comparision test against the Italian sprocket -vs- PMW Go-Tanium sprocket. The Italian jobbie lasted 6-7 seconds and the PMW sprocket was still holding after a minute thirty (90 seconds)of continous impact test before we gave up.

Our sprockets begin their life in 3D modeling to optimize stress distribution and weight savings. Then programming code is transferred to CNC machines that is accurate within .001" (that is one third the thickness of a human hair).

These are now stock on the GSR40, and TSi, the GSR25 and the GSR Sport and available online

ESR 750:

 

 

The first pre-production Electric Speed Racer 750's have just come off the line and will enter into our Beta program. The lucky first Beta customers are the Fanta/Coke beverage group. These first Beta's are coming in our classic gloss black complete with an Orange Fanta/Go-Ped Deck laminate.

PMW has recently teamed up with some great companies to offering some co-branding opportunities. First off the line in April - Fanta soda and Snap-On tools, then in May -Makita power tools are scheduled using three different new models the ESR 750, GSR25 and Bigfoot.

So if you see a limited edition Makita GSR25 or a Fanta ESR roll into your shop you'll know what's up and just where they came from.

We are also excited to announce that the ESR750 Beta Testers have been selected.

News Flash - ESR 750 wasted no time getting it's first win under it's belt in the new ISA "Open" Electric scooter class at the second round of the ISA West Coast Series Rialto, CA. April 23-25, 2004 . First went to Adam Wasson on an ESR750, Second went to Chris Brown also on a ESR 750 and Thrid going to Danny Corbett on old but still fast Stealth II.

Hellllo, Attorney General of the state of Florida

Dear Florida Dealer,

PMW Legal is in receipt of a Memorandum from the Miami-Dade Police Department supposedly quoting from
an opinion of the Attorney General of the State of Florida "prohibiting the operation of motorized scooters on
the public streets and roads".

Unless Florida has abandoned the Separation of Powers Clause of the Florida State Constitution, and chooses
to ignore the Separation of Powers Clause of the United States Constitution, the Attorney General of the State
of Florida has no legislative powers, and has no power to prohibit the riding of motorized scooters anywhere in the
State of Florida.

That is not to say that Police Departments will not attempt to enforce the "law" as enunciated by the Attorney
General, and, in fact, probably instigated the opinion in the first instance. The fact remains that in the absence
of legislation addressing the issue, there is no legal prohibition banning the riding of motorized scooters in the
State of Florida.

Hopefully, some loyal customer or dealer will be brave enough, when confronted with such a citation, to sue
the Police Department in Question for violation of their civil rights

Go-Ped® Wins again!

The new ISA season got underway in Mesa,AZ and Go-Ped® riders made their way to the top box 28 out of 29 races- WOW!

To win a race...
You can call that lucky

To win many races ...
You can call that a dynasty

To win every ScooterCross® World and National Championship since 1991...
You can call that a Go-Ped®

For the latest ISA news and results from the second round of the ISA West Coast Series Rialto, CA. April 23-25, 2004 check out www.scootercross.com

News Flash - Spy's report first sightings of what appeared to be a GSR26R circulating around the Rialto track putting in some very respectful lap times. After further checking into itdiscovered the scooter was built by "the Buzz" owner of Go-Ped® of Las Vegas and ridden by his girlfriend Amanda. Great job to both "the Buzz" and Amanda for not wasting any time gettin' the GSR26R on course. It pays to attend Dealer service training (a little tip they picked up on at training in March)
Look for this new 32MPH model to be released later in May 2004.

Nationwide Go-Ped® Makita® Promotion
top


Get more Business for your Dealership!

Patmont Motor Werks is proud to introduce a nationwide promotional campaign between Go-Ped® and Makita USA.
This campaign will provide participating dealers with increased traffic and business for their dealership and increased awareness for the California Go-Ped® Brand.

Over the last few months, Patmont Motor Werks has worked tightly with Makita USA in the preparation of this year's annual promotion: the Power Up Sweepstakes. Through this promotion, which will be widely publicized, Makita customers will be able to get chance at winning a Ford F350 (Grand Prize), a Go-Ped® GSR25 (16 of them will be the first prizes) and many other prizes.

In order to further enhance the appeal of their promotion, Makita USA and their retail outlets would like to showcase display GSR25 in selected local Home Depots and Lowes stores...

We have received an extensive list of over 200+ stores which would like to receive a display GSR25. These units will be customized to display a Makita Go-Ped® co-branded deck (GSR25 will be black)
Over the next few days, we will be contacting dealers who would like to loan a unit for display at the Home Depot or Lowes and at the same time advertise their dealership in these high traffic locations.

Participating dealers will need to purchase a GSR25 from PMW and loan it to the local Home Depot or Lowes for a period ranging from 1 to 2 months.
Also, Participating dealers will have the chance to further advertise their dealership by accompanying the Display GSR25 by with a sign depicting "This Go-Ped® brand scooter Brought to you by Your dealership Name, address and phone numbers.
Finally, it may be arranged for dealers to participate in Makita demos at the local store and get the opportunity to bring more of their Go-Ped® scooters to get even more publicity. Traditionally, Makita demos run for about 4 hours, during which we could arrange for your local dealership to be present.

At the end of the Promotion, the Makita Sales rep will bring back the unit to your store. You are then free to keep it for sale or as a collector's item.

PMW Customer Service Team will be contacting your dealership in the next few days to inform you of which local store (if any) would like a display GSR25 and give you more details about the program.


In the meantime please feel free to contact us at 925-373-6309 or by email at moratina@goped.com
