Whether it’s work or play, Lethal Motorsports has you covered this summer.
Although fun to operate, ATVs and side-by-sides aren’t just for goin’ for a rip. They’re also tools commonly used on the farm or oil lease sites to help get the job done.

Locally owned and operated for 14 years, Lethal Motorsports is your one-stop shop for everything spring and summer if you’re in the market for a new toy or workhorse.
This season’s lineup includes everything from dirt bikes, street bikes and ATVs to side-by-sides, boats, fireworks and everything in between to help keep you safe and having fun.

“Side-by-sides have been selling well this year because they’re not just toys, per se, it’s a tool on the farm or even in oil and gas,” said owner/operator Mavrick Young, noting he and brother Dalton try to keep things as local as they can.
“We’re all about clarity with our customers. We’re not going to BS you on the price. We don’t have hidden fees on anything we sell here.”
Customer service has been the main focus for Lethel Motorsports since opening the doors at the original shop. Now, located at 47 King St. just west of Lloydminster, it remains the same.
“We started it because we raced motocross, and there were bike shops in town, but we wanted to do things differently and a bit better,” said Young. “Everyone gets into something to do it better. Don’t get me wrong, we have our flaws, too, but I think you’re hard-pressed to find business owners that care as much as we do.
“We bit off a lot with all of our departments, but we’re always trying to find the right hands to connect to the tools.”
Despite tough times over the years, Young explained diversity has been the key to success.
“There’s not much we don’t sell and now we’re into fireworks. That’s been keeping us busy lately,” he said, noting Lethal started stocking fireworks last July.
“We do a lot of bulk orders for people doing firework shows and our focus is making sure they’re supplied correctly. We also get a lot of people grabbing fireworks for the lake if they’re coming in to get a jug of oil for the boat.”
A wide variety of marine equipment can also be found at Lethal, and if you’re looking for a new boat, you may be able to save some money with rebates.
“We have some carryovers that missed some of the price increases, so we definitely have some good deals on boats right now,” said Young.
“It’s taken the public a bit of time to adjust to pricing after the price of aluminum increased by 20 or 30 per cent, but it’s the same as the vehicle market.”
For anyone looking for a career change, Young noted the team at Lethal is always looking for eager staff.
“We’ve got some young guys we’re trying to train up, but we’re trying to find someone that’s got that eye to see a job and get it done,” he said.
