ZAP! the Holidays; `Zero Air Pollution' Bike and Scooter Gift Ideas Now on Display at the San Francisco International Auto Show in Moscone Convention Center through Nov. 28

    SEBASTOPOL, Calif.--Nov. 24, 1998--If you are having trouble finding the perfect gift for someone this holiday season, give them a ZAP!
    ZAP Power Systems (OTC BB:ZAPP) of Sebastopol, Calif., one of the nation's leading electric vehicle producers, will be displaying a range of fun, environmentally friendly electric bikes and scooters at the San Francisco International Auto Show, now through Nov. 28, and will participate in a special news conference today at 11:45 a.m.
    Want to make someone happy? Give them a ZAPPY(TM). ZAP's new electric scooter was named one of the best new products of the year by The Gadget Guru.
    This unique form of electric transportation is powerful enough to carry you across town, but small enough to fit in the trunk of your car. Its patented steering column folds and unfolds faster than an umbrella for easy carrying or storage. Includes battery and 110-volt household charger.
    Looking for zzzomething new in a bike? ZAP has Z-Bike(TM) for you! The new Z-Bike is not quite a bicycle, not quite a motorcycle, but somewhere in between. The Z-shape frame, 20" steel wheels, and low battery placement make it sturdy, lightweight and maneuverable. Arc handlebars and dual spring saddle allow a comfortable, upright riding position. Z-Bike offers power-assist up to 14 mph and includes maintenance-free battery and 110-volt charger.
    At ZAP's special Thanksgiving price of $549.99, Z-Bike is one of Z'most affordable electric bikes in the world!

    ZAP has many models to choose from. The company has sold over 20,000 electric bikes since 1994. For order information, access their web site www.zapbikes.co m or call 1-800-251-4555. ZAP is a publicly traded company, stock symbol: ZAPP.

    Editor's Note: ZAP will participate in a special news conference today at 11:45 a.m. in conjunction with the Synergy "EV Spectrum" (Booth No. 2063, North Hall E at the SF Auto Show). For information and media test rides, call 707/824-4150.
