Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. Unveils Fun, Practical, Zero-Emission Equinox Electric Scooter

Two-Wheeler is First Street-Legal Electric Scooter; Classically Designed Product Appeals To All Ages, Delivering 45 Miles of Dependable Travel at Up to 30MPH

SKOKIE, Ill., Sept. 8 -- Anyone who has admired the utility, beauty, and sheer fun of classic motor scooters, get ready: there's an even more appealing adventure in store, courtesy of 21st Century propulsion technology and Skokie, Illinois vehicle manufacturer Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. (EVT).

EVT, a leading producer of next-generation personal transportation products, today unveiled the 2004 Equinox, the first all electric, zero- emission motor scooter designed for public roads. Sporting a breakthrough 48- volt electric motor, the Equinox can go 45 miles on a single charge and easily reaches speeds of 30 mph. Quiet, smooth, and safe, the Equinox combines the best of motor scooter charm and practicality with today's advanced environmental awareness.

"The Equinox Electric Scooter is a terrific balance of classic design and contemporary innovation, of exciting performance and clean, responsible travel," said David Haskell, Vice President and General Manager of Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. "We believe that anyone who sees and test-drives the Equinox will agree, electric motor scooter transportation has truly arrived."

Noise, Fuel Costs Eliminated

The Equinox is the perfect solution for urban/suburban, commuter, and campus use. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) statistics show that 60% of all trips involving motorized vehicles are six miles in length or less, making the Equinox a highly intelligent and cost-effective alternative. Not only is the Equinox electric motor scooter practical, it's also totally silent, reducing noise pollution at the same time it eliminates fuel emissions. Best of all, with the Equinox, expensive oil, spark plugs, and gasoline purchases are a thing of the past.

Charging the Equinox requires only a standard 110-volt outlet and costs just pennies per charge. On the performance side, the vehicle's patented D2 direct drive electric motor features a linear torque band for steady, dependable acceleration, while the combination spring/hydraulic shock absorber suspension assures a smooth and comfortable ride.

The Equinox's superb engineering and design are evident in its instrumentation cluster. Included in the all-chrome control center are speed, odometer, battery level, light, and turn signal indicators; handle-mounted brake levers and a twist-grip accelerator make driving easy as well.

As the first electric motor scooter to comply with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and U.S. DOT regulations, EVT's Equinox is approved for use on all streets and roadways. The scooter is solidly built and easy to operate, delivering a rider experience far beyond expectations.

Beautiful Retro Styling

Lovers of traditional scooters will enjoy the pleasing lines and overall sense of style the Equinox delivers. "Equinox has the timeless appearance of the great European motor scooters," said Thomas G. Varga, Director of Sales & Marketing for EVT. "Chrome, off-white upholstery, and two-tone metallic body paint work together to create a look that's as smart as the technology underneath."

Buyers can choose any of four paint colors -- Dark Metallic Green, Light Metallic Blue, Ruby Red, or Citrus Orange. An optional watertight hard luggage case mounts on the rear cargo rack for groceries, briefcase, jacket, notebook PC, or other take-along items.

Pricing, Availability

Electric Vehicle Technologies' Equinox 2004 electric motor scooter carries an MSRP of $2,799 -- competitive with most gasoline-powered scooters. The vehicle can be purchased directly from EVT and is now available.

EVT is also currently accepting applications for Equinox dealerships across the U.S. To purchase the Equinox electric motor scooter, or for more information about the Equinox or EVT's other electric vehicles including its line of Elite electric bicycles and upcoming ATEV(TM) All Terrain Electric Vehicle, visit Electric Vehicle Technologies at www.evtworld.com or call 800- 358-8345.
