Cycle Country's Weekend Warrior Products Gain National Exposure Through Auto Parts Retailer Pep Boys

MILFORD, Iowa--Jan. 1, 20067, 2006--Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX:ATC), the recognized leader in developing and manufacturing a variety of products for the all-terrain vehicle (ATV), garden tractors, and golf carts, today announced that Pep Boys , the nation's leading automotive aftermarket retail and service chain, is now offering a selection of Weekend Warrior products in nearly all of its stores nationwide. Weekend Warrior, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cycle Country, produces a variety of accessories, attachments, and soft goods for utility ATVs, Compact Utility Vehicles (CUVs), and lawn and garden tractors.

This arrangement represents an important, large step in keeping with the company's initiative to establish a solid market position and significantly grow the Weekend Warrior division. Since these Weekend Warrior products are not part of Cycle Country's traditional product offerings, the Pep Boys business will provide new revenue growth for the company.

Brad Danbom, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Cycle Country, stated: "Securing Weekend Warrior product exposure through Pep Boys represents a milestone event for elevating this division's long-term success. Pep Boys' highly respected product offerings certainly bodes well for establishing greater sales of our expanding line of Weekend Warrior quality products." He went on to say, "We are also pleased that most of the products offered by Pep Boys are soft goods along with specific custom designed attachments for the Pep Boys line of ATVs. These products are not carried by our Cycle Country distributors, so we are not creating competition for our traditional distributors and dealers."
