Go-Ped invented and stared out in CA, was manufactured there for about 20 years and for most "Old School" GoPedders, GoPed is better known as "California Go-Ped". Since then the factory moved to NV but they still own the trademark "California Go-Ped" since California is the roots of where it all started.
In the past and hopefully next season I set up the road cones at a ski resort parking lot with a ESR750EX. Made my own studded snow tires. Shortened sheet metal screws that I screwed right into the tire with super glue and they worked great on snow covered roads and especially ice. One of the best things I have ever done was ride through a foot of fresh pow before the snow plow got to it.
I just took my racing xpipe of my goped and I am wondering if it's ride able I waz trying to put it back stock so u guys know who a goped looks with out a back cover or a pipe I Relly need to know if it's ok to ride its a goped sport 2 is there a way I can sent u a pic of it
Not exactly a ketchup bottle but not much different ether. It works out for this purpose, perfectly. They actually test drive every completed unit as part of QC so a separate gas tank keep the unit clean and brand spanking new.
@PMWgoped That sounds fun. I next time snow is predicted I'll pick up some some screws and make some. My tires are pretty worn, might as well give them a new life.
Yep, you are correct. I can say it works surprisingly well, used exclusively for gathering parts for the shipping department, and I laugh every time is see the guys playing around on it. They (and I) like to get to speed and drift it around corners on the smooth shop floor.
Only just found the PMW Channel! Excellent work! Do you do guided tours of the factor? I'd love to visit one day! Bring the "Roadster" home for a ride around the factory! lol
@iongets Yes, you can buy a Go-Ped right off the GoPed.com website. Just visit the products page and click on the "Buy" button next to the model you want.
Turn the idle screw all the way out so it is not really being used. Once started use the Low speed carburetor jet to set the idle. This tends to work much better then moving the butterfly valve with the use of the idle adjustment screw.
@TheMercilessMick the electric ESR Is the quietest by far. The 29cc 2-cycle engine not all that loud stock. There is a trick to further muffle the intake with a tuperware container that the existing air box will fit into but when near home just cruise and avoid wide open throttle is the best way to control noise. The propane model is a 4-stroke engine that's even a little quitter then the 29cc 2-stroke.
u should bring back some of the older models like the gsr40. zenoah doesnt make the g43l anymore but the manufacturer from another company known as tanaka ( engines placed on bladez scooters[now discontinued] that are high quality) makes those engines.
@acceso1023 He may have a little trouble starting push starting a Sport at first but should be find after he/she figures out the technique. A Super X-Ped is a little over kill for him unless you think he is going to be like Evil Kenevil.
The direct drive models allow them to be smaller, lighter, and more maneuverable with more power going directly to the rear wheel while having fewer moving parts that require periodic service. Direct drive models are the most powerful, lightest, and most fuel efficient model available for their engine size. This does not mean the direct drive models are the best model for everyone but these are the reasons why they have been a successful model for 30 years. No other scooter can claim that.
oh what a place to work man, every one driving around on scooters and qauds, its nice and calm quite no ones in a rush. whats it take to get a job there cause thats right up my ally
Sounds like you have a direct drive model like a Sport. I love my Sport and take it with me everywhere but you need to learn how to operate it since it does not have a clutch. Since it's direct drive more of the engine power goes directly into driving the wheel making it more responsive, maneuverable, and powerful then any clutch drive scooter with the same engine. Watch my video on the Sport model walk-around it may help.
@ryanerb Actually it is just one guy/gopedder that works for PMW. I am just trying to share some basic stuff that I know will help many. Thank you though, I do appreciate knowing that there are people that do enjoy some of my videos. :-)
I believe so but I do not think there is a distributer in South Korea. You may need to get yours from a distributer in like Singapore or the Philippines. I know the guy in Singapore and he is a really nice guy. Google "GoPed Singapore" and you should find their website.
Do u think they will drop any more this one website had them for $389 but it's gone now that's where I got my first one from but they should drop more people will just go to other gas scooters I'm trying to keep the goped name alive where I live but they cost to much u could just drop the price for 2 months I know u guyz will sell and the more people on the street ridding them will just make other people whant them I what to see go ped on the news. Saying THEY ARE. BACK.•_•
On line at goped.com is one place but there should be a few dealers in S.Cal that can help you out as well. Try looking up Myron's Extreme Machines in Fullerton. They are very good and understand GoPeds better then most.
It sounds like you flooded the engine with to much fuel. The engine cannot start if that happens and trying to force and engine that has flooded typically does little good and make you work the starter too hard. If the carburetor was already primed,then you may have over prime it (result is a flooded engine). You just need to pump the primer until you see fuel moving in both lines. Once that happens stop.
It's actually better to give it gas after you get the rear wheel turning. The engine then starts itself so you can give it gas to go. Give it gas to soon can cause the scooter to want to take off before your ready.
Unfortunately, I cannot do all that in only a 500 character count that is allowed to comment on video in RU-vid. There are some good stories and I have had the pleasure of playing a major roll in making the factory in Ireland possible. I am also one of the administrator for the "Go-Ped brand products" page on FaceBook. If you ask the question there I might spend the time to post a little article on the subject. I think FaceBook would be a more appropriate place for something like that.
Here is a trick you can try.... choke the engine by putting a plastic bag tightly over your air filter. Use a pencil to poke a hole in the bag so the engine can get "some" air. Now start, with using just a little to no throttle until you hear the engine "pop" a few times. Remove the bag and continue until it starts and work/feather the throttle to keep running until it comes up to temp, then go ride. Note: if you have a tune-able carb then it may be out of tune and part of your problem.
LOL, well if you don't have a choke then the engine is going to hard to start when its cold and if you don't know how to start a cold engine without a choke then you could be flooding the engine each time you try to start it. But if you don't mind pushing that is basically doing the same thing as the pull starter (making the engine spin). note: I am going to delete your post in a couple of days. I'm trying to keep the cussing out of the comments (sorry)
Very nice factory. I currently own a GSR-40..though nothing like how it ships out of your factory...heavily modded. One thing I don't like is the constant repairing and cleaning etc on a scooter...not really a con...part of the experiance i spose. One more thing...My hatred towards installing throttle and break setups!!! I can never get it right..my breaks never work properply! lol not your fault..whack up a video on how to porperly install gsr-40 discbreaks...and throttle... thanks
help i have a all stock sport and the motor keeps shuting off if i use the pull string i have to keep taping the gas to keep it fi cant wait to hear how manny ppl are going to complain about the new call of booty sucking rom dieing out
I have one gsr 29cc great device... but starting them is sometímes a pain . The rope is reallyyy bad please solve this issue and put a better rope. .the pull mechanism is about 100uss in my country Uruguay. If you want to send me one for free ... that would be nice!
Be careful turning on hot asphalt. I broke my tibia and fibula on my 1998 goped bigfoot and have had partial paralysis for the last 19 years because of it.
Unfortunately no, I only think the prices will go up from here now, I know Go-Ped restructured to get the prices as low as possible. Unless, they stop using the high quality materials they put into them and start making low quality models. It's just a matter of time before powered scooters becomes widely accepted as a low cost alternative for a transportation tool. The cheep low quality Chinese made scooters created a lot of negative opinions on powered scooters but time will heal.
Don't feel so bad. I barely learned of em this January 2021. But I already got me a rare ESR1000H with 20ah of Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 batteries so it's like I have the Extended version😎 ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS COMPANY AND THEIR PRODUCTS. GOPED USER FOR LIFE. GO RUSTY!!! THX FOR BRINGING GOPED BACK!!!
Ok thaxx but I am just going to sale my sport it's haveing to many problems way to many never ever road it for a whole day the scooter is only push start and it's just way to fast it goes on its own when it starts up it reves up on its own idk what kinda engine it is it looks like the r/c engine it's all black
