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-Peds only for friends and family that just had to have one, and it blossomed from there.

In the 20 years since their inception, Patmont Motor Werks, the Manufacturer of the Genuine California Go-Ped7® brand scooters, has earned a unique leadership position in the scooter industry and racing arena. With two decades of successful R&D, Engineering and Production, PMW possesses the best knowledge, understanding and tools to bring to customers products which exceed their highest expectations. PMW has been constantly at the forefront by continually perfecting and engineering the most high-end and refined scooting machines in the World.

Well known for its excellence and expertise in gasoline powered Go-Peds®, PMW Engineering "Skunk Werks" have in fact also actively developed ingenious electric powered transportation alternatives. In 1995, it introduced the first electric powered Go-Ped® Prototype. Based on the design of the Original and Best Selling Sport Go-Ped®, the spindle drive electric Stealth™ Go-Ped® was introduced in 1996. Later, the Stealth II and Hoverboard7® Go-Ped® were launched for customers looking for the most silent and classy electric scooters. After nearly two years of careful and painstaking development using all lessons learned, not only from its own electric scooter development, but from the many lessons taught by others, PMW has reached electric perfection and is proud to present the long awaited Go-Ped® "Electric Speed Racer" ESR750.
