From a
small shop in his garage to a store front on Route 302, Chris McDonald has
taken his business, Windham Powersports, to another level through persistence
and vision. He opened first, out of his house, then in a location close to the
Raymond town line, in 2014. There, he did a lot of repairs, began selling youth
ATV’s and snowmobiles and worked tirelessly on building a name for the
business. September 1, he opened the new location at 646 Roosevelt Trail across
from Mechanic Savings Bank.
Windham
Powersports now has a large showroom to display his impressive collection of
brand new
junior sized and three-quarter sized four wheelers, snowmobiles and
accessories like helmets, gloves and goggles. One new item is the top of the
line hover-boards, with eight-inch wheels, colorful lights and Bluetooth
capabilities.
“We are
bringing the level of quality up,” McDonald said.
In the
store, customers can see the new Apollo Volts, electric 4-wheelers with 500-watt
engine and parental controls that can adjust the speed to 5, 10 or 15 mph.
“These
are real 4-wheelers made from metal, by no means are they anything like the
typical Power Wheels you find at big box stores,” said McDonald.
Check
out the Ice Bear Mad Dog scooter, which sounds like and cruises like a Harley
with flashy chrome and at half the price of a Honda scooter proves you can look
good and save money. A basic scooter that they carry can “save a ton of money
on gas and travel up to 40 mph depending on the weight of the rider,” McDonald
said.
The
shop also offers a variety of dirt bikes from 70 cc to 250 cc, which parents
can ride also. Full-sized machines are available for special order, including
side-by-sides for adults and kids.
In
addition to the new items, Windham Powersports is also selling used 4-wheelers
and snow machines.
Snowmobiles
are coming in, and Windham Powersports has the machines for kids to enjoy the
trails with Mom and Dad. The 170-cc engine, three quarter sized sleds are good
for all. With the steering capabilities and forward and reverse modes, the
kiddos can ride with the adults on the trails. It can carry up to 320 pounds
and is not over powering to control. They are also a perfect utility machine
for adults. Brand new, Windham Powersports is selling them for $2,899, which is
a $400 savings.
Stop in to see the videos of the snow machines racing and
tackling hills.
The
most popular items are the Little Tumbleweed 4-wheelers that come in a variety
of colors. “We have every part for any Chinese machine people are looking for,”
he added. With parts, glasses, VP racing cans and so much more, there’s no
reason not to stop in.
Now
there is no longer a need to wait for financing either. Windham Powersports
offers in-house financing from NextEp, which offers payment plans set up
through a private application process online through the Windham Powersports
website or in-store. From $500 to $5,000, customers can be pre-approved in
minutes. The loan covers machines and accessories like gloves and helmets all
in one package. There are also early buyout options.
At the
new location, there are extra bays for working on machines. Windham Powersports
is the most affordable service shop in the area, said McDonald. “We still work
on everything. We take consignment and trade ins. We give fair value toward
buying a new machine,” he added. They also still offer drop off and pick up service
in Windham. This is just one example of how their customer service sets them
apart from their competition.
Windham
Powersports will hold a grand opening celebration on October 17th
starting with a ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m. and then a BBQ from 12 p.m. to 2
p.m. with The Wolf radio station there to give away concert tickets.
