D?ST Electric Bikes Sees Growth in U.S. Powersports Sector, Excited for Vegas AIMExpo
D?ST Bikes, a leader in the ebike sector, comes roaring into AIMExpo in Las Vegas with a National Sales Team in place, samples on the road, and full head of steam as it enters the U.S. Powersports sector for 2023.
High-performance electric bicycles are one of the most exciting new developments in this sector, providing Powersports dealers with a new type of 2-wheeled, powered vehicle to offer their customers. Ebikes are light enough to carry in a pickup or on an RV to go camping; they don't require a drivers license; and they offer more accessibility to urban paths and trails that do not allow gas powered mopeds or scooters.
This new market is already massive in the U.S. with ebike sales outpacing even electric cars, doubling in the last 4 years to 400,000 units annually, and high growth rates expected for the next decade and beyond. Powersports dealers are uniquely positioned to sell and service this rapidly expanding category and create a completely new profit center for their business.
D?ST Bikes CEO Sam Atakhanov explains why success hinges on Dealers choosing the right ebike for their customers, and why D?ST is the perfect fit: "I'm an avid snowmobiler and I use ATV's for hunting. Powersports guys like me expect a high-performance experience, and that's why D?ST is such a perfect fit. Our mid-drive motor provides 40% more torque than any other bike in its Class (up to 28 mph) and it's the only one that offers both a throttle and pedal assist. Not having a throttle is an absolute deal-breaker."
There are many more reasons D?ST is the right fit for the Powersports sector:
