Where can I see a Go-Pod?There’s a growing network of volunteers! These are real customers who have bought & use a Go-Pod themselves. They kindly offer viewings to others as part of our Referrals & Rewards programme, providing people the opportunity to speak to a real owner, rather than a scripted sales person. After viewing, customers are invited to order online. To find a viewing location, please click here. We also invite new owners to join our Referrals Programme. The programme is growing in NZ and our owners offer a wealth of real experience to interested new parties. We reward every sale so it’s a win-win relationship.

Weights & payloadThe Go-Pod NZ weighs approx 605Kg. This means there is a generous user payload of approximately 145Kg. Figures are approximated and do not allow for water, optional extras or personal effects. Classified as a ‘Light Simple Trailer’ in the class ‘TA Trailers’, the GVM, (gross vehicle mass), is 750Kg and a Go-Pod should not be loaded above this figure. In other words, the Go-Pod including the payload should remain below 750Kg. If in doubt we recommend carrying more of the payload & heavier items inside of the car.
