Dear Customers and Friends,
After much careful consideration, we have decided to pause the development and launch of the anticipated Transrover Model 2.0 until further notice.
The Transrover journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. What began as an idea evolved into years of innovation, perseverance, and growth. Along the way, we faced countless challenges, celebrated meaningful milestones, and had the privilege
of sharing our vision with an incredible community of supporters. I am deeply grateful to everyone who believed in us and helped make that journey possible.
While we are stepping back from the next phase of Transrover development, this is not the end of the road. Rather, it marks a new chapter. The knowledge, relationships, and experience gained through bringing Transrover from concept to commercialization have opened the door to a new opportunityâhelping other inventors and entrepreneurs bring their own ideas to life.
Today, I am dedicating my time and energy to supporting fellow innovators through my product development company, PDatlas LLC. By leveraging the lessons learned from my own journey, I hope to help others navigate the challenges of product development and accelerate their path from idea to market.
Thank you for being part of the Transrover story. I am excited about what the future holds and look forward to helping create the next generation of innovative products.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your support over the years. A special thank-you to the organizations below that helped amplify our mission:
⢠The Golf Channel for giving us a platform to showcase Transrover.
⢠Forbes for the feature article that put us on the map.
⢠Good Day Sacramento for an unforgettable interview.
⢠Fox News for the live broadcast that captured our passion.
⢠Golf Digest for sharing our story on social media.
⢠MyGolfSpy for the in-depth review that brought us to a broader audience.
⢠The United Inventors Association for honoring us with the âMost Innovative Productâ award at the PGA Merchandise Show when we debuted Transrover.
⢠Morton Golf for giving us a chance and being our first official wholesaler.
To everyoneâmedia partners, podcast hosts, friends, and supportersâyour belief in Transrover meant the world to us.
I remain hopeful that one day Transrover will find its rightful place in the mainstream.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Please stay in touch.
With appreciation,
Thinh Tran and Team Transrover

Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well. It has been some time since we last connected, and I want to share some important news with you all. After much careful consideration and reflection, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the development and launch of the anticipated Model 2.0 of Transrover.
This journey has been filled with both significant challenges and remarkable achievements. We poured our hearts and souls into this projectâfacing setbacks, learning from our experiences, and persevering with renewed commitment each time. Despite our unwavering efforts, we have reached a point where we are unable to continue this mission on our own.
While this outcome was not what we had hoped for, I am deeply grateful for the invaluable lessons weâve learned along the way. In the meantime, I have shifted my focus to helping others bring their product ideas to life, leveraging the skills gained from my own experience with Transrover. I invite you to learn more about my new venture at www.pdatlas.com.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your continued support and encouragement over the years. Your belief in what we were trying to achieve has meant the world to me. I also want to take this opportunity to thank several organizations that played a pivotal role in amplifying our mission and providing essential exposure:
⢠The Golf Channel for giving us a platform to showcase Transrover.
⢠Forbes for the feature article that put us on the map.
⢠Good Day Sacramento for an unforgettable interview.
⢠Fox News for the live broadcast that captured our passion.
⢠Golf Digest for sharing our story on social media.
⢠MyGolfSpy for the in-depth review that brought us to a broader audience.
⢠The United Inventors Association for honoring us with the "Most Innovative Product" award at the PGA Merchandise Show when we debuted Transrover.
⢠Morton Golf for giving us a chance and being our first official wholesaler.
There are many othersâpodcast hosts, media outlets, and countless individualsâwhose support helped carry us forward. I am profoundly grateful to all who believed in Transrover and shared our journey with others.
I will continue to find a way and hope for the day when Transrover finds its rightful place in the mainstream and makes the impact we envisioned.
Thank you once again for being a part of this incredible adventure.
Please take care and stay in touch.
With deep appreciation,
Thinh Tran and team Transrover
