Holiday Shoppers Get Zapped!

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif., Dec. 10 -- It's beginning to look a lot
like the holidays at ZAPWORLD.COM (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAPP).  The electric
vehicle manufacturer is seeing an increase in visibility and retail orders in
December as shoppers and retailers alike are having visions of a ZAP bicycle
or scooter under the tree on Christmas morning.
    Among those "getting ZAPPED" are such mass retailers as AMAZON.COM and
F.A.O. Schwarz.  The ZAPPY scooter is one of the newest holiday gift ideas on
AMAZON.COM's e-commerce site, which boasts more than 13 million customers in
160 countries.  Sci-Fi fans might like to have one of ZAP's newest products,
the STAR WARS(TM) collector's edition scooter, available for the holidays
exclusively through F.A.O. Schwarz.
    ZAP is featured on Luxuryfinder.com, a website that offers gift ideas for
the holidays.  In addition to the ZAPPY scooter, the site also features some
of ZAP's other products, including the ElectriCruizer(TM) electric bicycle,
the GEM neighborhood electric car, and the LECTRA(TM) motorcycle.  These items
are featured at
http://www.luxuryfinder.com/editorial/gadgets?show_content_id=2406.  Below are
some gift ideas for those still shopping.
    ZAP opened a Holiday Store at the Factory Direct Mall in Petaluma to
better serve its local customers.  Located near the GAP Store, the ZAP store
offers free test rides on its new models as well as factory direct discounts
on new, used and unusual ZAP products.  This joins ZAP's other year-round
outlets in Sebastopol, San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, and Key West,
Florida.  For store locations and hours, visit the ZAP website at
