Go-ped Roadster and G2D powered Go-Peds

and seats for £95". I however took the time to talk to the seller, He couldn't remember much about it. He remembered buying it roughly 20 years earlier in LA. He claimed it was one of the first genuine go-peds, made by the guy who started the company, Could it be? He got this from Steve Patmont himself? The story was starting to get more and more interesting. Eventually we came to a deal, and £90 lighter thanks to my good friend Paul who loaned me the dosh, I was on my way, with a much heavier motorised scooter of some sort! With me not being sure exactly what I had, I soon posted some pics up on the UK and USA go-ped forums. Within a couple of hours, there were many replys to the post, and cash offers for the scooter! It turned out, this scooter is known as a "Roadster" and indeed it is a Genuine Patmont Motor Werks go-ped! It is confirmed by Steve Patmont himself to be one of the FIRST 113 made for resale, in the Patmonts own home back in 1986. Hand built by many members of the Patmont Family! As the posts online progressed, More and more information was being uncovered about the Roadster, Such as the frames being welded by Gabe Patmont himself! It wasn't long before it became clear, this particular one, was actually one of the first 50 (aprox) due to it's frame set up! They early ones had a one piece frame, with 5 bends and a notch cut to weld in the steering stock, the later ones were two piece frames, joined at the steering stock! It was a good few months later, a second Roadster showed up, over in the USA. This was also set up the same, hence one of the first 50 or so and was soon brough by Tris from UKGPF. Again in very good order, exept with the original sticker! This was used to get re-productions made (this is how i got mine). I plan to leave mine along, replace the missing parts to original condition and not use it, this includes leaving the carb alone. Tris however has decided to restore his Roadster to "as new" condition and after his past experience of restorations with a 1989, and 1993 sport, Im sure it will look spot on! There has been a 3rd roadster surface. In Yellow this time! Last i heard it was shipped from the US to Latvia and is now also in a private collection.
