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 Go-Ped ® 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 Go-Ped ® is the market leader in motorized scooter sales, and is an established brand among extreme sports enthusiasts. Go-Ped ® 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 that has crafted a full range of personal transport devices, including motorized, electric and self-powered scooters. Go-Ped ® has also extended its brand to include Go-Gear apparel, accessories and jewelry, while maintaining its commitment to creating products inspired and designed to capture the fun, free and trend-setting spirit that is the very essence of the individualistic lifestyle.

Patmont Motor Werks is headquartered in Livermore, California and has crafting facilities in Livermore and Bunbeg, Ireland.
