Talk:Go-Ped

Merger proposal
Merge It looks like the content of this article is so limited that it would be best merged into Scooter (stand-up).


 * Apparently, I am the only maintainer of this page so I guess I'll take that as consensus and perform the merge. We can always revert if a discussion wakes up once I do the edit. --EpochFail (talk) 20:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Restructuring
I propose a restructuring of this article. The sections would be: Introduction, Technical Contributions (to the scooter industry), History, External Links and References. If there are no complaints, I'll rework the article over the next few days.--EpochFail (talk) 17:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Advertising
This seems like just an advert for the product. Note the high percentage of edits that are not done via accounts and just have IP addresses... the five unique IP addresses I checked all seem to be ONE person. Probably the sales rep for the company. How sad. Just read the D*** thing... it is a sales pitch, with a little lawyer-induced warning text added in a weak attempt to make it less so. Not saying there shouldn't be an article here - not recommending it for deletion - just saying it should be improved. I came to it to learn about the things, so am glad there is an entry, but am not the one to change it cause all I know comes from this spam. That and the fact that they ARE ridden at night ALL THE TIME in my town, so the part I will edit is pure wishful thinking on the part of the company's lawyers. Just because it has remained here for a while, and been edited by a few people, does not stop it from being an add. --Fitzhugh 23:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Breaking this article apart
A lot of this article contains information relative to all stand up scooters as opposed to only scooters from the Goped brand. I propose moving general scooter information to a Scooter (stand-up) article. This would be similar to the Scooter (motorcycle) article.EpochFail (talk) 23:13, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

neutral
This article seems like strong opposition to anti-goped people., it still reads a bit like an adverisement. It probably needs a rewrite, and it has way too many commercial links. TheOtherSiguy 17:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

dude chill out... Some people say gopeds are so horrible, and how they are too loud, just because they want to feel powerful, My goped is a GSR25, it gets 200 mpg, it's enviromentally friendly, and it isn't that loud. It's alot quieter than a lawn mower, no one complains about lawn mowers because it benifits them alone. This is selfish. In Orange County, CA goped users are portrayed as nazi cold-blooded inhumane people who have no disregard for human morals. Most people I know that use gopeds, me included, are nice everyday people. "SO HOW ABOUT YOU GTFO OF YOUR HUMMER AND STFU BECAUSE IT'S SAD WHAT A P**** YOU ARE."

_this is not some stupid advertisment. I'm not selling products, or service, or anything... check the IP, it aint the same person.... peace...


 * That is missing the point. This article describes gopeds as though they are the only stand up scooter.  I'll start a topic about breaking the general stand-up scooter information into another article EpochFail (talk) 23:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

why does this article say?
a goped that can go 20 to 35 mph stock? hmm... well, it sure as hell aint the sport pictured.

who ever wrote this needs to actually ride one, before writing an article about one....

ive been riding and building gopeds since 14. im 19 going on 20, and still love them.. nothing better than screaming down the bike lane on a 3hp 20lb kik scooter that gets over 125mpg...a liter of gas, couple buks in your pocket, and 3 gomix packs, and your all good, im still stunned to see "not street legal"! they are so! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.187.155 (talk) 18:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
