Tucker Powersports Launches Ambitious 100-Plus City ePower Experience Tour

Tucker Powersports has announced the industry’s most extensive effort to expose dealers and customers to electric mobility products from its ePower portfolio. The Tucker ePower Experience will launch this month and make stops in over 100 cities around the U.S., offering test rides and product information on five of the program’s brands. Stops will be at powersports dealerships and staffed by Tucker reps along with brand ambassadors and representatives from some of the participating companies.

Tucker will execute the tour with four event rigs, each one with a full complement of ePower vehicles and point-of-sale information. Products that will be available to ride are Fantic and Fuell ebikes, Evolve skateboards, Dualtron scooters and UBCO electric adventure vehicles (EAV). Safety equipment and riding gear will be provided. Host dealers will be provided with digital assets to help them promote the tour stop at their location.

“The Tucker ePower Experience is the easiest way for powersports dealers to understand the opportunity that exists with electric mobility products,” said Jamie Kempinski, Tucker’s director of business development. “And experiencing the products will help each dealer determine what products may be a great match for their own business plan.”

Each of the rigs will function in a designated region. The Southwest, Northwest and Southeast legs kicked off last week in Las Vegas; Portland, Oregon; and Jacksonville, Florida. The Northeast route starts this week in Windham, New Hampshire.

A full and expanding schedule of tour stops is available on the ePower page of the Tucker website. Dealers interested in hosting the Tucker ePower Experience should contact their Tucker representatives.

Having come tantalizingly close on a number of occasions this year, Team Honda HRC finally completed an AMA Supercross win sweep at Round 10 in Detroit, with Chase Sexton topping the premier division and Hunter Lawrence ruling the 250SX East Region category.

To earn his premier-class main-event win, Sexton had to pass some of the class’s top riders. Following an eighth-place start, he quickly moved up a spot, then passed Ken Roczen for sixth on Lap 2. He displaced Adam Cianciarulo for fifth two laps later, moved around Eli Tomac on Lap 8 and got Cooper Webb for third on Lap 10. One lap later, he came out on top of a scrap with Justin Barcia to assume second place, and he set out after Aaron Plessinger, who had a lead of over eight seconds. Sexton shrunk the gap to as low as 3.5 seconds before Plessinger crashed two laps from the end, helping the CRF450R to take the win.
