The store and its buyers

Motowheels is a distributor and direct importer of motorcycle parts, gear and inventory for dealerships and racing enthusiasts. It chose Web Shop Manager after outgrowing its previous website company, and its store runs on Web Shop Manager today at motowheels.com.

  • Parts fit a specific bike. Shoppers need to know a part fits their exact model before they buy.
  • A huge brand catalog. Riders often shop by brand as much as by part.
  • Search brings the traffic. In 2013 Motowheels said most of its traffic came from Google, so product pages have to show up in search.

In their words

“Since teaming up with Web Shop Manager our orders have gone up about 500%. We've actually had to bring staff on, change our shipping methods and change a lot of our internal structures to handle the increased sales.”

Why it works

Motowheels put it plainly in 2013: the year, make and model lookup helps customers find what they are looking for quickly. Shop-by-bike search, clear fitment labels and search-friendly product pages are still the core of the store today, on our powersports eCommerce platform.
