Beginning
in 1985 with a prototype for a new motorized personal transport
device Steve Patmont launched Patmont Motor Werks, creators of the
Go-Ped ®, the original motorized scooter, in his garage. He began by
building GoPed only for friends and family that just had to have
one, and it blossomed from there.
Knowing the market
opportunities were endless for his fun, carefree design, Steve
secured a patent and began shopping his invention around to
purveyors of yachts and personal aircraft as a light, portable
alternative transportation device to extend owners transportation
choices on land.
Today GoPed is the
market leader in motorized scooter sales, and is an established
brand among extreme sports enthusiasts. GoPed are also growing
in popularity as an alternative transport vehicle for city
dwellers with short or disconnected commutes.
Patmont Motor Werks
is a 100+ employee, family owned and operated California company

creating products inspired and designed to capture the fun, free
and trend-setting spirit that is the very essence of the
individualistic lifestyle.
