innocent casualty of the ' Great MAG Unwind '. The second revolves around McAllister ' s preparedness to redefine what the Tucker brand itself means , reinventing it for an era in which the tribal barriers between the motorcycle industry and wider powersports industry are no longer sustainable . Indeed , McAllister has driven a UTV through the fences that shaped the

market ' s traditional market segment shapes . Primary among those changes has been taking Tucker ( back ) into the ' Snow ' market , taking Tucker into a boat and leisure craft industry that is now way more than just the traditional PWC footprint , and , above all , aggressively recognizing that the EV market can be a mainstream powersports industry revenue source . One that sits alongside traditional

internal combustion engine ( ICE ) revenue streams for all of our market ' s dealerships and retail outlets - not one that competes with it . There has , of course , been way more to Tucker ' s profile reconstruction and

return to profit than this - and much of it internal - inevitably that has included a certain degree of executive " churn ," headcount " rebalancing " and other structural and strategic " realignments ." However , if that is what it has taken to tune the business for the future , then kudos to McAllister and the Tucker team - and kudos too to the MIC ' s AIMExpo team because yes , " they did it !"
