HOUSTON--Feb. 28, 2001--e-Power International Inc. (OTCBB:EPWI) is pleased to announce that international motorcycle champion Colin Edwards has signed on to be a worldwide spokesperson on behalf of The Immobiliser Inc., developers of motorcycle and automotive security products that use the power of the Internet along with other advanced technology.
"This is a great opportunity to help motorcycle and vehicle owners protect their bike or car through the high-tech products offered by The Immobiliser," Edwards said. "For years, motorcycle riders have known about The Immobiliser's product for bike owners. Now, even more riders, as well as car and truck owners, can benefit from the new GPS Vision(TM) security system. It's exciting to see how this company uses the Internet, GPS and other technology in its products. I love what they're doing."
Edwards is scheduled to appear at special events throughout the year on behalf of The Immobiliser to promote the company's line of security products for motorcycle, car and truck owners.
"Colin Edwards' worldwide appeal and success on the racetrack gives him such a strong reputation among motorcycle racing fans and the public," said John Banks, CEO of Immobiliser Inc. "We're excited to welcome someone with such positive worldwide appeal as Colin to be our spokesperson. His involvement brings even more power to our global marketing efforts."
Edwards is a Texas native, growing up in Conroe, just north of Houston. The 26-year old burst onto the racing scene in 1992 with his first professional win at Daytona. In 2000, he clinched his first world title by racing Castrol Honda's twin cylinder VTR1000 SP-1 to victory in the World Superbike Championship.
The Immobiliser Inc. recently introduced the world's first over-the-counter wireless vehicle tracking and control system using the power of the Internet and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The product, called GPS Vision(TM), recently was launched in Houston -- the first market in its United States rollout.
Through GPS Vision(TM), vehicle owners from anywhere in the world can track and control their vehicle via the Internet. The product uses advanced technology from Motorola(TM) and MCI WorldCom's SkyTel(TM) two-way paging network, as well as new wireless Internet technology from Elite Logistics (OTCBB:ELOG).
GPS Vision(TM) has the power to track and control a vehicle through a PDA, two-way pager, Internet-enabled cell phone or through the click of a mouse. Car owners receive the vehicle's street address location, digital mapping, car speed and direction in seconds via the Internet. Parents may monitor the use of the family car when away on vacation. Or, if a driver accidentally locks the keys in the car, he or she can remotely unlock the door. Owners of service trucks can actually put an alarm sensor on a toolbox door and receive notification when someone makes an unauthorized entry. Fleet owners may also shut down their vehicles and equipment after hours, preventing unauthorized use. If a vehicle is stolen, for example, owners could use a Palm Pilot(TM) or other Internet-enabled device to send a command to track the vehicle by street location and speed, and then notify the police of the car's exact location.
GPS Vision(TM) will work with any make or model vehicle on the market to date. It also will fit on motorcycles of all models, including those made by Harley-Davidson(R) , through Immobiliser's motorcycle security system called The Immobiliser(TM). The company produces the only patented alarm that fits the original factory wiring of Harley-Davidson(R) motorcycles.
Houston-based Immobiliser has a 10-year track record of providing security systems to motorcycle, car and fleet owners. The company, which is owned by Houston-based e-Power International Inc., currently exports security products to 31 countries.
