About the book-

For those who appreciate the rugged simplicity of the Tote Gote trail cycle, this book is your ultimate resource. Years in the making, this nearly 200-page deep dive into the legendary off-road machine brings together rare historical insights, manufacturing details, parts diagrams, vintage advertisements, and never-before-seen photos.

When Tote Gote went out of business in the early 1970s, much of its history was lost—until now. This book reconstructs the story through firsthand accounts from Ralph Bonham himself, factory workers, and knowledgeable collectors.

Inside, you’ll find:

📖 The full history of Tote Gote, from its creation to its rise as a backcountry workhorse.
⚙️ Manufacturing details that break down the design and production process.
🔧 Detailed parts diagrams to help with identification and restoration.
📰 Vintage advertisements that showcase how Tote Gote was marketed and sold.
📸 Loads of photos, capturing the spirit and evolution of this classic trail bike.

Whether you're a collector, restorer, or just an enthusiast looking to learn more about one of the most iconic trail bikes ever built, this book is a must-have.
