ZAP Offers Electric Go-Karts

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif., March 21 Electric vehicle manufacturer
ZAPWORLD.COM (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAPP) is now "ZAPPING" go-karts with today's
announcement that it will be distributing a new electric go-kart, the E-Kart.
    Go-karting is surging towards popularity across the country with the
introduction of indoor tracks and a growing amateur racing circuit, but
electric power adds several benefits that might help the sport grow even
further.  Electric go-karts work well for the indoor sport because they don't
create any emissions or noise.  ZAP's E-Karts are also specifically designed
for children because they incorporate more safety features and are quieter for
use in residential areas.  Electric propulsion is also simpler, easier to
maintain, and more affordable overall than many gasoline go-karts.  They are
also easy to use -- just turn the key and go!
    Because go-karting is especially popular for children, safety is an
important feature for ZAP's new E-Kart.  Parents will feel more comfortable
with the battery-powered go-karts because they are easier starting, do not use
fuel, and include a speed control allowing them to limit the top-speed, from
five to 28 MPH.
    One of the most important aspects of go-karting is the "fun" factor, and
the speed controls on the E-Kart will let you go even faster than some
gas-powered models.  Highly maneuverable, the E-Karts are capable of handling
the tightest turns and even include a reverse button so the driver will not
have to exit the vehicle if they want to back up a few feet.  They can be used
on a variety of surfaces, from pavement, to grass, dirt or gravel.
    The new E-Kart is now available through ZAPWORLD.COM in both one and
two-seat versions.  Prices range from $1,599 for the single seat version to
$1,749 for the double.  View photos of the E-Kart at

affordable electric vehicles.  The company is publicly owned with stock
trading under the symbol ZAPP.  For shareholder, dealer or ordering
