For over years, the International Go-Ped Association (IGPA) has developed a trustworthy reputation as a sponsor of quality Go-Ped racing. It was started by Ron Fortenbury in Omaha, Nebraska. In answer to human nature – “anything on wheels must be raced!” – Ron began hosting Go-Ped races for his “Ron's Rad Toys” customers in Omaha.
In January 2002, the IGPA became formally organized with Ron Fortenbury becoming Vice Chairman of the Board and National Race Director. Additionally, a dedicated team of scooter enthusiasts and professionals were gathered to serve on the Board of Directors. Since then Go-Peds have continued to spread over the world.
There are numerous types of goped scooters. They range from racing to off-road to recreational riding peds. Many of these posses different horsepower levels, motors and gas/oil ratio levels and some are electric scooters. Some of these gopeds are named by the type of engine such as the GSR40 - the smaller Bigfoot goped with bigger tires for off-road riding. Recreational peds such as the Sport goped have smaller wheels for road riding.
Stunts, Wheelies or Jumps: Most performances on Go-Ped scooters are carried over from skateboard and BMX riding. The extra force of application in particular moves can put undue stress on the scooter and it's parts.
Usage Warnings: A helmet, full finger gloves and elbow/knee pads should be warn at all times during use.
