ZAP Bike the Latest Prize on The Price is Right March 24

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif., March 23 -- Game show contestants, come
on down March 24 for your chance to win an electric bicycle on "The Price is
Right."  For the first time, Bob Barker will be offering an electric bicycle
as a prize on the nationally acclaimed show, which airs tomorrow, March 24 at
10 AM Pacific Time on CBS.
    The ZAP ElectriCruizer is an electric power-assist bicycle from electric
vehicle pioneer ZAP Power Systems (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAPP) of Sebastopol,
California.  Using a classic beach cruiser bicycle frame design, the
ElectriCruizer comes equipped with a small, powerful electric motor system.
The bike still works like before, but now with the flip of a switch-ZAP!
-- a turbo boost of electric power kicks in to help bicycle riders go faster
with less pedaling.  Customers use the ZAP ElectriCruizer to commute to work,
ride up steep hills, or simply for fun.
    This is the first time an electric bicycle has been given as a prize on
"The Price is Right."  In its 27th season, "The Price is Right" with host Bob
Barker is the longest running game show ever.  It has received 11 daytime Emmy
awards.
    ZAP Power Systems is a leading U.S. producer of electric bikes and
scooters, having delivered thousands to commuters and recreational cyclists
