"I'll have the pump, run the pump, and I can even turn my speakers on in the front if I wanted to, if I have two Power Rails on my bike," Jordan said. "We fully expect some people are going to put two on their bike. They'll put some utility function on the back and then some recreational function on the front." Dealers can only purchase the Power Rail through Tucker Rocky, as the distributor was quick to jump onto the idea after the Power Rail was first shown as a concept at the Con- sumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. "The product idea was conceived in Octo- ber; prototyped for CES, where we did a public first launch of it at CES. We had such a good response at the Consumer Electronics Show that we started taking the idea to the next step," Jordan said. "I came in and met with Tucker Rocky, and they embraced us, and that's when we just said, 'Let's do all the tooling, make it happen.'" With the production-model Power Rail making its debut at the Tucker Rocky show, it was hard to find a minute in which the booth wasn't full of dealers. Jordan said the initial dealer response was overwhelmingly positive. "The dealers at this show have completely validated that we did the product right, that we designed it correctly and brought it to them the way they need it to be successful," Jordan said. "So that's been exciting for us."
