Designing a Community-Driven Powersports App Experience
Client Vision
Cody wanted to create an app experience for powersports enthusiasts that goes beyond shopping by combining:
✔ vehicle browsing & purchasing
✔ community engagement
✔ service & maintenance tools
✔ ownership tracking
The goal was to build a platform riders actually return to, not just a store they visit once.
The Challenge
Most vehicle websites already handle product browsing and sales. The opportunity was to create something more valuable:
• build a strong enthusiast community
• provide practical tools for owners
• improve post-purchase engagement
• create a centralized ownership experience
The app needed to balance commerce, community, and utility in one seamless mobile experience.
The Solution
A mobile-first app experience was designed to replicate the feel of a native app while remaining flexible and scalable.
The demo focused on the core user journey and key engagement features.

Splash Screen & Onboarding
When users open the app:

This creates a modern, frictionless first impression.
Home Dashboard
The dashboard serves as the central navigation hub.
Users can:
✔ access the shop

Featured vehicles appear in a scrollable carousel for easy browsing.
Shop & Categories

-
featured listings

full shop view for deeper exploration
This ensures quick access for buyers and casual browsers alike.
