Dealers looking for something completely different should tune into Central Powersports Distribution. “We have some great new relationships with Rieju from Spain, Electric Motion Motorcyles from France, and Czem Electric Motorcycles from the Czech Republic,” says company founder Mark Berg.
“With the majority purchase of GasGas by a different brand and the transition to their management, we have been given the opportunity to work with some great new OEM's from Europe.”
Located in Watertown, South Dakota, CPD is made up of the same crew that was GasGas North America up until its acquisition by Pierer Mobility AG (KTM). Using their collective experience and knowledge, Central Powersports Distribution is specializing in smaller European OEMs and unique accessory manufacturers to bring their products to the U.S. market.
“We worked really well as a team for our parent company Torrot GasGas, and we will continue to do so as Central Powersports Distribution moving forward,” Berg adds. “Everyone here in South Dakota really loves what they do, and we have the experience and the knowledge necessary to help smaller European OEMs expand to reach customers in the United States.”
CPD provides multiple noncompeting OEMs with shared facilities, staff, warehouse space, logistics, and distribution opportunities. “CPD essentially acts as the middle-man between the manufacturer overseas and the dealers and consumers here Stateside,” explains Berg. This creates better stability by covering the entire nation with solid representation for the dealer-network to the end-customer support, all while lowering overhead costs of each brand. CPD Dealers, in turn, can choose to work with as many CPD-represented brands as they wish, depending on their store and market trends.
In addition to OEM efforts, CPD will distribute select specialty products from the aftermarket side, starting with companies like FunnelWeb filters. Dealers looking for something completely different can click here:
