Go-Ped factory tour

Some of the few things that go on in the Go-Ped factory that is located in Minden Nevada USA.

[@PMWgoped]

Glad to finally get this video made for all of you.

[@amberlloch1]

I’m a cnc machinist and a goped lover too which made this video awesome, thanks for the upload!!

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@TurboDub1991]

I just bought a new go quad 46 because it's an American MADE product! No cheap knockoffs will ever do what GoPeds engineering has accomplished.

[@ryanbreton69]

Looks like the company had come a LONNNNGGG way since 1985! Congrats, great products = successful companies.

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@racineer]

Glad to finally see a video of the current facility!

[@PMWgoped]

@cdane410 You are correct it "was" in California and then moved to Minden NV in 2003.

[@B19T4R]

Great video nice to see how my Urban Ped was made!

[@10OZDuster]

awesome factory tour totally enjoyed watching the crew make them ! tnx

[@SiLeNtShAdOw7777]

Awesome! I always wanted to see the inside of the new facility! Thanks!

[@lorenzovega8716]

Gopeds on everything.. I love it!

[@forrest225]

@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.

[@ViperSRTnACR]

I want to see how hard tires are made and mag wheels!

[@ryanerb403]

Thanks for sharing, you guys are a great company!

[@BMF604]

Sweet video now I see why my Goped is taking so damn long to arrive lol been over a month should be here any day now tho

[@mrfiesty505]

Snow Mane ordered mine last week...they called me yesterday and told me it would be there NEXT WEEK. WTF. I feel your pain man!!

[@kimjongmin22]

Snow Mane

[@minitruckin]

go-ped order picking carts FTW @ 1:10 if you ever worked at any warehouse that's proprietary go-ped manufacturing stuff right there lol awesome!

[@1tokeover]

OMG all of those machines look sooo expensive. That pipe bender was crazy!

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@weblefeck]

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

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

This is so cool, thanks for sharing.

[@michpatriot9097]

Hope business smooths out after the covidity...

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@cgraf83]

@ozzykid17 I am from australia too mate, and i just bought a sport. Whereabouts are u from ?

[@HELYEA666]

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.

[@crazymonster181]

great video dude !!!

[@BeamerTheFox]

lol riding nopeds around the factory lol what a dream.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Where can I get replacement parts like the exhaust hose connector and fuel lines in So Calif?

[@pyroman675]

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

[@CAPTQYOUELL]

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

[@DrPilotRedC]

It would be cool if you made a step by step video of the making of a sport ped.

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@PMWgoped]

@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.

[@mrbobtyler]

Awesome video thumbs up.

[@PMWgoped]

@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.

[@forrest225]

@PMWgoped Hey I like the idea of using a ketchup bottle as a test gas tank. Pretty smart.

[@CAPTQYOUELL]

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.•_•

[@HaydonSmith3879]

Oh which go ped should I get the sport or the Gti or somin like that

[@forrest225]

Awesome! I remember seeing a thread on GPN with pics of the outside, this is like 45626326 times better.

[@PMWgoped]

@TheMercilessMick Go-Ped started in Califonia back in 1985 and moved to Nevada in 2003.

[@BomberOperator]

Tell Me Your Name Song This MV Pls.

[@stupidcat99]

can i get it in south korean?

[@PMWgoped]

I am making a carb tuning video in a couple of weeks (I hope, because I am busy busy busy right now)

[@PMWgoped]

@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. :-)

[@SuperTintom]

I live in the uk and we neeeeeeeeed some there!

[@PMWgoped]

@weblefeck I am sure you can get a tour of the factory if you come and visit.

[@forrest225]

@PMWgoped It was worth a try right? lol Keep making these I love them.

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@graffitiweedguy4205]

can you make a how to on how to put on a belt

[@pabloriquelmecoronado3766]

Como puedo hacer para traer uno a chile

[@PMWgoped]

Close, but it's his big brother making these videos, of course there is always a little "Tim" influence in all of them. ;)

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@PMWgoped]

@Goped314 LOL, "Go-Cerey Kart" I love it…. But your right that's exactly what it is.

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@PMWgoped]

Unfortunately, I cannot do all that in only a 500 character count that is allowed to comment on video in KZbin. 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.

[@Goped314]

i spy a Go-cerey kart.. at 1.11-1.19 i want one how much?

[@CraigMullins1]

So much more high tech!

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@rey0176]

why then its says california on it? if the factory is i nevada?

[@warumdehbwoi]

deep

[@PMWgoped]

I believe there is a Go-Ped distributor for Sweden.

[@PMWgoped]

The last time I checked the price for the Sport was under $550.00

[@PMWgoped]

@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.

[@PMWgoped]

I am not personally selling GoPeds, and don't know how many the factory sold over the 25 years they have been in business.

[@CAPTQYOUELL]

Thax but how the fuck i fix that .its been flooded for like a year . What if i put a pull start on it and buy a chock swich will that help

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@111powerstroke]

Go- peds rock!

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@nicksutherland4249]

cost to make a goped thats 1200$ like 150$

[@liama32]

that was soo kool

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@kizza1645]

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

[@PMWgoped]

Wish I could but I just volunteer my own time to make these videos.

[@PMWgoped]

You can run the engine without the covers but it is not a good idea to run the engine without the muffler/pipe.

[@PMWgoped]

@SuperTintom Look Up "Line One Distributing UK"

[@mrkilroymcgee]

i love gopeds there my life at work( I work grave yard)lol

[@SuperTintom]

@PMWgoped thankks

[@PMWgoped]

Sounds like you have a fouled spark plug, out of tune carb, dirty air filter and/or a clogged fuel system.

[@PMWgoped]

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)

[@TrainerTakumi]

nothing better than american made products :D

[@PMWgoped]

@acceso1023 Smart, 10 is a little young for most to have the ability manage a powered vehicle responsibility and safely anyways.

[@warumdehbwoi]

cool

[@rey0176]

kool.. ok i got it.love my green bigfoot.

[@garagemdoetrobson9364]

👏👏👏👏👽

[@PMWgoped]

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.

[@CAPTQYOUELL]

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

[@PMWgoped]

@2008yz250f4ever Thanks :)

[@SolusKrieger]

clutches slip. if your goal is to be fast in a race or just to have direct power without lag, you would want a direct drive.

[@jessebassmaster]

3:40 now i know why my sport goped welds look like shit

[@wjmike2200]

My GSR welds look like shit too

[@thecam0073]

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.

[@PMWgoped]

LOL, thanks

[@kdotktimetopurge8549]

Its gd too see them all there can u gave me free parts please

[@yamahonkawazuki]

quincy they would if they were Chinese theres a reason why some things are cheap, and some are not.

[@teddystegall5842]

[@matthewfiedler2787]
