OEM dealer for Vancouver Island for BETA,Sherco, Vespa, Piaggio, Hisun and Kove Tuff City Powersports was founded in the spring of 2011 with the belief that Nanaimo was ready for its first locally owned downtown full service Scooter, Motorcycle and ATV shop.

Today, the challenge isn’t just how to protect but how to do it responsibly. As scrutiny around the use of force grows, the need for credible alternatives to traditional fi****ms has never been clearer.
Most real-life threats don’t require lethal force. Less-lethal solutions fill that gap, allowing users to stop a threat, create distance, and regain control without irreversible consequences.

This shift is also backed by data. In many use-of-force reports, lethal force represents only a small fraction of interventions, while the majority involve situations that could be resolved with intermediate tools. Studies on less-lethal devices such as pepper-based projectiles or conducted energy weapons show high effectiveness rates, often above 80% in stopping or deterring threats, while significantly reducing the risk of fatal outcomes compared to fi****ms. At the same time, growing adoption by law enforcement and security professionals worldwide reflects a broader move toward more proportionate responses.
Thanks to recent technological advances, these systems are now precise, reliable, and built for real-world use. Platforms like those developed by Vesta Defense show how effectiveness and responsibility can go hand in hand.

At the same time, expectations have shifted. Proportionality, accountability, and risk reduction are now essential. Less-lethal tools meet those demands, offering a way to act without overreacting.

This is why less-lethal isn’t a compromise, it’s an evolution.

We expect to see our stop arrive lat September to Early October. We are taking pre-orders now as the first batch will be most pre-sold. We expect to have a good display of samples.
Any questions please call or email.
