SANTA ROSA, California (September 8, 2003) - Advanced transportation company ZAP® (OTC BB:ZAPZ) announced today that it is the exclusive distributor in North America for the SEA-DOO® SEASCOOTER™ by Daka Development of Hong Kong. ZAP says the SEA-DOO SEASCOOTER has been getting rave reviews and is their best-selling product of 2003. The Northern California Company is stocking additional supplies in anticipation for the holidays. See one online at http://www.zapworld.com. The SEA-DOO SEASCOOTER is a battery-powered dive vehicle that can pull swimmers, snorkelers and scuba divers through the water. ZAP formed a strategic alliance with Daka last year to market several products in North America. Daka specializes in the development of innovative products for the alternative energy lifestyle as well as other consumer products for competitive world markets. In 2002, Daka was the winner of Hong Kong's prestigious consumer products design award. The Hong Kong-based company has licensed with Bombardier Recreational Products to market the SEASCOOTER under the SEA-DOO® brand. ZAP CEO Steve Schneider says the SEASCOOTER is the best-selling product of 2003 among ZAP's bikes, scooters and cars. "ZAP is proud to be working with Daka as the exclusive distributor for the SEA-DOO SEASCOOTER in North America, and we are equally honored to carry a world-class brand like SEA-DOO in our line-up of vehicles," said ZAP CEO Steve Schneider. "The best thing about the SEA-DOO SEASCOOTER is that it opens up the world of undersea exploration to everyone. Instead of paying thousands of dollars for a bulky, professional-grade dive vehicle, average consumers can now purchase a SEASOOTER for their next vacation, for their boat, or simply for the pool." ZAP says the SEA-DOO SEASCOOTER is one of the best new products in 2003 in outdoor recreation. It can pull swimmers at speeds up to 2 mph and for a run time up to an hour with the optional extended life battery. Snorkelers and divers can hold on and swim to new depths faster, giving them more air for exploring coral reefs and viewing ocean life. Swimmers can cover greater distances without getting tired, or just float lazily along the shore. The SEA-DOO® SEASCOOTER is the result of years of design innovation to produce one of the lightest, most efficient dive scooters in the world. Sir Clive Sinclair, a lead designer for Daka, is one of Britain's most famous inventors, knighted in 1983 for his contributions to micro-electronics with some of the earliest production calculators, digital watches, pocket TVs, personal computers and other innovative electronics. ® SEA-DOO is a trademark of Bombardier Recreational Products.
