ZAP Rolls Out Inline Scooter

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif., May 16 In the olden days, kids made
their own kick scooters by nailing a pair of roller skates to a milk crate.
Today, ZAPWORLD.COM (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAPP) is rolling out a new generation
of kick scooter called the Kick(TM) that uses inline skate technology and
folds small enough to fit in a backpack.
    This is the first non-motorized vehicle offered by ZAPWORLD.COM (ZAP),
which manufactures electric bicycles, kits, scooters, motorbikes and other
electric vehicles (EVs). Since introducing the ZAPPY(R) folding electric
scooter two years ago, ZAP said it received a number of requests for smaller,
lower-cost scooters. The Kick is a new design that ZAP calls an Inline
Scooter(TM).
    Hi-density urethane wheels and performance bearings give the Kick a fast,
"inline" feel that makes it fun and useful for the whole family. The Kick is
easier to ride than a skateboard; just unfold, stand up, kick off, and go
-- in moments you'll be gliding effortlessly along to your appointments, to
school, errands, or just for fun. When you get there, the nine-pound scooter
folds instantly for easy carrying or storage. Hi-tensile steel gives the Kick
the strength to handle bumps, jumps and other obstacles. The adjustable
handlebar allows the scooter to fit most adults and children. You can stop the
Kick by using its convenient rear compression foot brake.
    The Kick comes in four bright colors:  Tree-Frog Green, Midnight Green,
Bright Blue, and Vivid Purple. No assembly required. Always obey the rules of
the road and wear a helmet. The Kick costs $119.99. For further information
