ZAPPY3 Folding Electric Scooter

Dear ZAP:

I just wanted to Thank you and to let you know how much I like the Zappy3 and the amount of attention and inquires I have received from people as we tour San Diego.  My wife and I are full time RVer’s and are traveling the United States.  We are now in San Diego and the last 4 days we have given the Zappy3 a very hard work out. We rode the city trolley on all 3 lines off and on, riding the trolley to  stop and see the US Midway museum and taking Old Town trolley around the city.  We went to the San Diego Zoo and spent the day and put it to the real test of seeing the whole zoo and doing most of the steep hills without a problem.  At the zoo I had 3 or four people take a picture of the Zappy3 and ask for details.  And it seemed like dozens of people stopping me and asking about the Zappy3 and where I got it.  It allows me to go places and do things I couldn’t do because of my feet issues.

Alex Wang, Co-CEO of ZAP Jonway’s China operation, CEO of Jonway Automobile, and a Director of Jonway Group, stated: “Jonway Group, the original holding company of Jonway Automobile is committed to delivering industry leading full electric new energy vehicles to the market, utilizing the strengths of Jonway Automobile’s manufacturing with ZAP’s EV technology experience and design. We believed in the market potential of the JNZ SHUTTLE Vans and started this design more than a year ago in Jonway Group, funded by the holding company of Jonway Automobile, while ZAP Jonway evaluates the market potential of this new product line. After doing more extensive market research, ZAP Jonway believes the JNZ SHUTTLE Van for both EV and gasoline models have great commercial opportunities, especially in addressing our new strategy focused on the fleet applications. Jonway Group has been paying for the engineering design and molding for the JNZ SHUTTLE Van and will also pay for the ALIAS to go into production within 2012. These two project funding totals more than $18.2 million. The JNZ SHUTTLE Van engineering and molding work is already completed, and the ALIAS work is being completed. Jonway Group stepped in to fund this capital intensive development to ensure the delivery of these new models into production for 2012. The JNZ SHUTTLE Van is ready for production delivery in the second quarter of 2012, and the ALIAS is planned for the fourth quarter of 2012. We are pleased with the progress and the quality of the work done for these models, and we are committed in Jonway Group to support the financing to ensure that we are well positioned to offer competitive and attractive products.” ===> CONTINUED

Alex Wang, Co-CEO of ZAP Jonway’s China operation and CEO of Jonway Automobile said, “An important piece of our strategy to attract fleet business is our JNZ SHUTTLE, which is ideal for fixed route deliveries and small passenger payload transportation. In addition, its availability in both gas and full electric models can further broaden our customer base. The competitively priced gasoline version of the JNZ SHUTTLE, which is priced below US$10,000, is targeted for developing countries where smaller shuttle vans with carrying capacities are ideally suited to maneuver through narrow city streets. The all-electric JNZ SHUTTLE is being planned for export globally, focusing initially on first-world countries with active programs to reduce city pollution and carbon footprint. THE JNZ SHUTTLE bolsters ZAP Jonway’s fleet product offering, further expanding our product range in international fleet markets.

For all those times you wished you had an easy, affordable transportation alternative to take on the road, now the ZAPPY3 electric scooter has the flexibility of folding for easy storage in your trunk, boat or RV.

ZAPPY3 can benefit anyone who wants to leave their car behind and take a fun, easy and inexpensive alternative. ZAPPY3 is a three-wheeled scooter that runs up to 13 miles per hour, can run up to 17 miles on a single charge and plugs in anywhere with its portable off-board charger. Electric power makes it quiet, clean and adaptable for a variety of transportation scenarios: commuting, RVs, campgrounds, flea markets, car shows, rodeos, agricultural operations, factories, college campuses, supermarkets, airports, amusement parks, shopping centers, malls, museums, office buildings, and more. Use it like a bicycle, without all the work!

ZAPPY3 is truly for everyone, young or old, rich or poor, work or play. Three wheels make it very easy to learn and comfortable to ride. Advanced riders can enjoy better handling and can remove the seat for added visibility, performance and fun. Three-wheels also give it a 360° turning-radius, which allows it to navigate places few scooters can, like elevators.

And ZAPPY sure beats walking! This electric scooter makes a great pre-mobility scooter, thousands of dollars less than traditional mobility scooters. Perhaps you’re not ready for a full-fledged powered mobility device and simply want an occasional assist for long walks. The contoured seat lets you ride in comfort and safety and it includes a handy basket for shopping.

The new collapsible handlebar makes it a cinch to store or transport. Just drop the handlebars and store it in the back of the RV, van or trunk. The all-new design increases ease of operation by locating the controls and battery feedback with the brakes on the handlebar along with the keyed ignition. The headlight incorporates a powerful, new 7 LED design. Now you can see be seen.

Electric Wheel Motor

ZAPPY3 came on the scene in 2005 as ZAP started delving into electric wheel motor technology. If you haven’t noticed, there is an electric motor built into the front wheel of the ZAPPY3. Wheel motor technology is perhaps the best innovation for electric vehicles in recent years because they are inexpensive, efficient and powerful. Wheel motors apply torque directly to the wheels, helping to save space in other parts of the vehicle for more batteries or features, as well as eliminating the cost, weight and inefficiency of a transmission. This simple innovation has extended the range over the ZAP scooters of years ago; the latest ZAPPY3 can run up to 17 miles on a single charge, compared to 10 miles for ZAP’s original scooters.
