Minden, Nevada – March 10, 2005 – Patmont Motor Werks, the renown US manufacturer of the Go-Ped® Brand scooters, introduced today the new ESR750 Range Extending Kit. Once fitted with this new kit, the ESR750 Go-Ped® Scooter becomes the most compact and powerful Electric Scooter in the World.

While PMW has met tremendous success with the new ESR750 scooter and EV dealers and Electric enthusiasts have been raving about the unmatched reliability, quality and performance of the new ESR750 scooter, PMW also realized there was a strong yet unfilled need in the market for a scooter as light and powerful as the ESR750 Go-Ped® but with much longer range.

Steve Patmont, President of PMW and inventor of the Go-Ped® Brand scooters, is confident that his company has found the best and most economical way to fulfill customers' desires for the most compact, portable, lightweight, powerful and reliable, Electric scooter with long range: “Equipped with the Range Extending Kit, our ESR750 scooter now has the best power to weight ratio of any electric scooter on the market. Not only is it the most powerful, stylish, reliable, and highest quality scooter, but it also fits the bill for being extremely compact, foldable and lightweight, a far cry from most electric scooters which seem to have missed consumers' need.”

The New ESR750 Range extending Kit delivers an impressive increase of more than 50% over the ESR750 stock range and duration. It allows users to reach up to 12 miles on a single charge in economy mode (average speed of 12mph) and up to 8 miles in turbo mode (20mph speed).

The ESR750 Range extending Kit can be quickly and easily installed by consumers or authorized Go-Ped® Dealers worldwide. It is composed of 4 larger sealed lead acid batteries, which replace the existing smaller ones, a new thinner deck with spacer ”gasket”, hardware and easy to follow instructions.

The new Kit adds only 7.5 pounds to the already light ESR750 with only 1 inch in deck height increase. The excellent ESR750 ground clearance handling, and classic looks remain unchanged. Full charge time is increased by only 50%.
