Patmont Motor Werks Ships First GlideAbout Scooters to US Consumers

Minden, Nevada – February 4, 2005 - Patmont Motor Werks Inc., the US based manufacturer of the popular Go-Ped ® brand scooters, announced today that it started shipping the new revolutionary GlideAbout™ scooters to US consumers.

The GlideAbout™ scooter is a new walking aid, which has been invented specifically to improve the lives of individuals with certain mobility impairments.

In 2004, Patmont Motor Werks was approached by Steve Roman, the creator of the GlideAbout™ Scooter, to manufacture his new product. Steve Patmont, President & CEO of Patmont Motor Werks, immediately recognized the ingenuity of the product and agreed to produce it, in its Nevada factory.

The GlideAbout™ scooter is a new lightweight 3 wheeled scooter designed for adults to sit on while propelling themselves by gently pushing with their feet. It is ideal for people suffering from arthritis, bunions, corns or foot ulcers, flat or otherwise malformed feet, recently healed sprains or strains, knee problems and people who have heavy walking casts following surgical procedure or for broken bones.

The GlideAbout™ is designed to be used indoors, in shopping malls, convention centers, warehouse stores, or anyplace where very hard and smooth surfaces make walking a difficult task. There are no motors to impede the GlideAbout's usability indoors and other design features ensure that it is small, light-weight and can be easily transported.

At a cost of $339, GlideAbout™ provides a cost effective alternative to wheelchairs for individuals needing a particular kind of mobility assistance.

“Patmont Motor Werks is thrilled to be associated with this new venture, declares Steve Patmont. We are very proud to be able to produce such a beneficial product in our US factory and offer premium quality construction and components. The GlideAbout™ scooter is made of aircraft grade materials such as highly durable 4130 Chromoly Steel. We know consumers will appreciate the American craftsmanship and quality which abound in this product. We also very much look forward to working closely with Steve Roman and his company in seizing the numerous and yet untapped market opportunities for the new GlideAbout™ Scooter.”
