POWERSPORTS1 is the newest YAMAHA dealer in the upper Midwest located in Kaukauna, WI between Appleton and Green Bay. The company is family owned and committed to customer service. The Van Eperen’s (Rod and his father Tom) are no strangers to the industry and have a lot of hands on experience.

They have added Steve Sheldon (Sales/Finance Manager), Devin Haws (Master Technition) and Alex Zalewski (Parts/eBay)  to create a team with over 70 combined years of experience.

Rod has been involved in Motocross for 23 years, Professional Snowcross for 6 years (with rides from Polaris and Arctic Cat), and 2 years in CORR (Championship Off Road Racing) starting out in the Pro division.

Tom (Rod’s father) raced snowmobiles himself years ago. Since then Tom has been mechanical support for Jeff Ludwig for 25 years and supported his son(s) in both Motocross and Snowcross for the entire time. To say the least their reputation and name in the industry is very well recognized and perceived. Tom puts his heart and soul into this business, and almost works around the clock.
