New York based FUELL Inc. and Tucker Powersports have announced a collaboration that sees Tucker appointed as the exclusive distributor of FUELL's premium products to the powersports industry for the USA.
As part of this multi-year, renewable partnership, Tucker will distribute the complete line of FUELL's premium Flluid e-Bikes as well as FUELL's branded accessories and replacement parts.
"Tucker Powersports is a world-class distributor with more than 50 years of experience serving thousands of dealers in the United States and Canada. With a support team of nearly 100 regional sales staff, 7,000 active dealers and strong marketing capabilities, Tucker is the ideal partner for FUELL to bring the brand to a wider audience and develop the brand, while adding a US premium brand to its portfolio of e-vehicles."
Erik Buell, CTO at FUELL Inc., is quoted as saying: "This is an exciting time for electric bikes as the worldwide electric bike industry has experienced tremendous growth and is expected to grow by over 50% to reach nearly $70bn by 2027.
