ZAP Your EV With Solar Power

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif., Oct. 5 -- With thousands of customers
zipping around on its electric bikes and scooters, manufacturer ZAPWORLD.COM
(OTC Bulletin Board: ZAPP) wants to give them a ZAP! of solar electricity to
ensure they are truly "ZAP," or "Zero Air Pollution," as the California
company likes to say.
    ZAPWORLD.COM now offers solar panels in three different sizes that plug
directly into its electric bikes and scooters for a free, non-polluting zap of
electricity.  The panels use a new proprietary photovoltaic technology that
doesn't use any glass or rigid framing, making them lightweight and flexible.
They come in sizes of 5, 10 and 32-watts depending on your charging needs.
Use the 5-watt panel for $99 if you ride your ZAP once a week or the 32-watt
panel for $229 if your ride every day.  See pictures of the panels at

    ZAP also sells conventional solar panels up to 75 watts for $499 and even
a stationary charging station specially designed to charge several bikes and
scooters at once for $1,399.  The company recently donated a solar charging
station to its hometown of Sebastopol, California so its customers have a
place to lock up their ZAPs and get a free charge while shopping or doing
errands downtown.
    ZAP, a recognized leader in the U.S. electric bike market, recently
celebrated its fifth anniversary.  The company manufactures several models of
electric bikes, scooters, motorcycles and other electric vehicles.  ZAP is a
publicly owned with stock trading under the symbol ZAPP.  For complete
