Shocking news out of South Dakota as Electric Motion importer Central Powersports Distribution is headed to a new location deep in the heart of Texas. “We purchased a 33,000 sq./ft. warehouse/office space outside of Dallas,” says CPD head wrangler Mark Berg. “It has been a long search for us, as we have always wanted to have all of our logistics, warehousing, testing and operations in one central location.”
The new facility sits on 8.8 acres with a wooded area and open space for year-round testing, bike setup and photoshoots — all just outside the office doors, “We have found the ideal location in Marshall, Texas,” Berg adds. “That has moved CPD much closer to seaport access and nearer to the off-road market. The people and the community of Marshall have been amazing in helping us get this purchase complete.”
CPD’s complete move will not be until spring 2023, but CPD will start receiving ocean containers of Rieju, SWM and Electric Motion units and shipping them out to the dealer network from the new Texas facility before the end of the year. Once the move is complete, CPD will also be hiring. With the State of Texas already being full of dirtbike enthusiasts, there should be a deep pool of employable talent to pull from.
"The steady growth of CPD has made this purchase vital, to both maintain and continue to grow our dealer relationships beyond what we would be able to accomplish in the northern Midwest,” Berg explains. “Our team is ready for the move and the great future! We have more off-road product lines, both OEM and aftermarket, coming to CPD for our dealers in the months ahead.”
In addition to the OEM lines CPD currently imports, Viral Brand goggles was recently added to the CPD family of aftermarket brands already in distribution. PG&A lines include Funnel Web Filters, S3 Parts and Trickbits protection parts. CPD will continue to add more aftermarket segments specific to off-road; more announcements are to come on the aftermarket sector for CPD and OEM additions.
