Top Kart USA clients in New England now have a new option for parts, service and support. The Indianapolis-based importer of the Top Kart chassis announced a partnership with New England Power Sports, who will feature Top Kart products at Central Mass Powersports.
Currently, retail shops are very limited in the Northeast, with only a few small outlets for these products available. The primary function of these shops is fabrication or auto racing support. Therefore, consumer purchases in the area are mostly handled online. Central Mass Powersports is the first vendor to provide a one-stop shop for karting products in the New England area.
“We see a distinct void in the market for retail support in the karting industry in the New England area,” said Gary Pescatore, general manager of Central Mass Powersports. “Karting is an exciting sport with appeal for all ages and skill levels. We are excited to be able to make these products more available to customers and to support the growth of this industry in New England.”
The rollout of this exciting new product will be primarily at the Central Mass Powersports location. Future development is expected to expand the Top Kart USA line to the remainder of the New England Power Sport group of companies. The rollout will begin with chassis from Top Kart, in addition to power plants from Briggs & Stratton, Rotax, Comer, Honda and Yamaha.
“We are excited to introduce the new addition to our Top Kart dealer family in North America, Central Mass Powersports,” said Blake Deister, co-owner of Top Kart USA. “With an ever expanding support network, our customers receive dedicated trackside support at local, regional and national events.
“New England and surrounding areas have great potential, with many racers currently involved in the sport of kart racing. Central Mass Powersports and its staff can capitalize on promoting kart racing by having the Top Kart product line available to purchase in their storefront, with additional spare parts on hand at all times.”
New England Power Sports has a long history of supporting and building relationships with local and national racers, at all levels, in motocross, snowmobiling, road racing and enduro/woods sanctioned events. Through this new partnership with Top Kart USA, they plan to expand this coverage to include all local karting races in New England, where they will have an on-site vehicle with parts and accessories to support racers.
“As a leader in the power sports industry for over 45 years, New England Power Sports is continually striving to expand the market and provide customers with new and exciting dimensions in recreation,” said Olivier Humbert, vice president of New England Power Sports. “We are thrilled to represent Top Kart USA and to enter into the world of karting.”
