“We’re elated to hear about Segway’s success at AIMExpo,” said Cinnamon Kernes, MIC vice president of market expansion and events. “Beyond its sizable exhibit at the show, Segway participated in our OEM media tour and featured a vehicle in our 4-Wheel Showcase. And the fact that Segway was able to network and connect with so many potential new dealers is exactly why we work so hard to deliver North America’s best powersports industry show each year.”
Gabriel Cruz, Segway Powersports marketing director stated, “At AIMExpo, we showcased not just products, but we presented a vision of innovation. The overwhelming response, with 31 new dealer applications in just 2 and a half days, reaffirms the market’s hunger and acceptance of a new household brand that is delivering cutting-edge products.
