Zapworld and their electric vehicles
ZAP has had a long history of providing electric vehicles, beginning with the ZAP bicycle kit and the Zappy scooter. For what it's worth, I've owned both of those. More recently ZAP has merged with a car dealership and is concentrating on importing vehicles rather than designing their own.
Bicycles
Zap ePod, the human-electric hybrid vehicle. The ePod is what they call a velomobile, it's basically a recumbent bicycle with a fiberglass shell around it. You can pedal and/or use the electric drive.
Neighborhood Electric Vehicles
Intimidator LUV, is a tiny two-seater car. It gets 25 miles per hour speed and a stated range "up to 50 miles".
Worldcar LUV, is a similarly tiny car to the Intimidator. It has the same speed and range claims.
Trio, is a three-wheeled electric vehicle. They claim a 40 mile range, but give no claims to the speed. It isn't yet available, but expected to be sellable in October 2005. UPDATE: It's now mid-October and the page now says availability is December 2005. Hurm. The Trio is now called the Xebra, and I have separate a page about this vehicle.
