What most people dont realize is that this form of personal transportation has been around since 1985: Patmont Motor Werks is the American creator of the California Go-Ped® brand and is the Original, World Leader in motorized stand-up scooters.

Livermore, California - USA - September 26, 2002 -In 1985, the Patmont family was the first to successfully market a compact, efficient people-moving machine. This scooter weighs in at only 20 pounds, yet has the ability to move 20 times its own weight or a 400 lb person at a mighty 20 MPH or more. In comparison, the Segway weighs 80 lbs and sells for up to $3000.
