In a creative twist for marketing gas guzzling SUVs, a folding electric
scooter from Zapworld.com is included with the purchase of new Lincoln
Mercury Mountaineer SUVs. The premium was available in California and
Hawaii in June, and in the Washington D.C. area in August/September.
The battery-powered ZAPPY scooter folds into the size of a small suitcase
and can be used as stand-alone personal transportation or in conjunction
with a car, bus, boat, train, airplane or RV. The battery charge lasts for
several miles at bicycle speeds and can be recharged at any household outlet
or by a cigarette lighter with an optional mobile charger. It retails for $650.
The Mountaineer comes with an auxiliary 12 volt power outlet, so owners can
recharge their ZAPPY while driving. When parking or traffic is a problem, it
can be used around town for short trips, for errands, or simply for fun.
