PR: Manufacturer of Small Motorcycles for People Afraid to Ride Big Bikes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Manufacturer of Small Motorcycles for People Afraid to Ride Big Bikes Signs Distributor for U.S. and Canada Pagsta International Selects Barrett Corporation to Distribute Pagsta Motorcycles IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2004 -- Pagsta International, LLC, announced today that it has signed Barrett Corporation to handle all U.S. and Canadian distribution for the Pagsta brand of motorcycles. Pagsta specializes in the manufacture of small and mid-size mopeds and motorcycles that are easy to ride. Barrett will be responsible for the sales, marketing, and distribution of Pagsta motorcycles in the U.S. and Canada. Barrett will coordinate North American operations through its two distribution companies: Barrett Marketing Group in Canada, and Dixie Sales Company, Inc., in the U.S. "We wanted an experienced distributor who could get these bikes to the people who need them - people who are afraid to ride big bikes, but want to experience the fun and freedom of riding a motorcycle," said Edward L. Cain, Jr., CEO of Pagsta International. "Barrett is the perfect partner for us, because they can handle distribution through both traditional dealers and through non-traditional outlets. If you're afraid of motorcycles, you're probably not going to browse around in a motorcycle dealership, right?" Ed Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Barrett Corporation, agrees. "We think there is a strong market for Pagsta bikes. There are a lot of people out there who can't handle heavy bikes safely, and for first-time riders it's best to learn to ride on a small bike. Pagsta motorcycles have low seat heights so you can put both feet on the ground when stopped. We also think consumers will like Pagsta's big bike look, which is similar in style to a Harley. This is a great marriage of three strengths: Pagsta is great at product design, engineering and product quality; Barrett is great at providing a one-stop solution for all other facets of bringing a business to the North American market; and our dealers are the crucial link to connecting with people on a local level and in providing exceptional customer care and service."
