TOTE GOTE GARAGE

Welcome to the Tote Gote Garage
If you’re into old TOET GOTEs, you’re in the right place. At 801 Sew Co., we don’t just sew. We’re Tote Gote people. We ride them, tinker on them, fix them up, and we want to see these classics keep rolling.

This is the Tote Gote Garage. It’s where we celebrate the history, share resources, and build gear that actually fits the way Tote Gotes get used.

Big news is coming soon. We are working on something for the Tote Gote community and we can’t wait to share it.

Here you’ll find:
Custom canvas gear like bags, tool rolls, and accessories built with Tote Gotes in mind.

Restoration resources with tips, tricks, and links to help keep your Gote in good shape.

We also wrote a book on Tote Gotes that dives into their history, mechanics, and restoration. You can check it out on Amazon.

About the book
If you appreciate the rugged simplicity of the Tote Gote trail cycle, this book is for you. It’s a nearly 200-page deep dive that pulls together rare historical info, manufacturing details, parts diagrams, vintage advertisements, and a ton of photos.

When Tote Gote went out of business in the early 1970s, a lot of its history basically disappeared. This book rebuilds that story through firsthand accounts from Ralph Bonham, factory workers, and longtime collectors.

Inside you’ll find:
The full history of Tote Gote from the early days to becoming a backcountry workhorse.
Manufacturing details that break down how these machines were designed and built.
Parts diagrams to help with identification and restoration.
Vintage advertisements showing how Tote Gote was marketed and sold.
Loads of photos that capture the evolution and spirit of the Gote.

Whether you’re a collector, a restorer, or just a fan of one of the coolest trail bikes ever made, this book belongs on your shelf.
