"SANTA ROSA, California (June 30, 2004) Transportation pioneer ZAP (OTC BB:ZAPZ) announced today the launch of a new three-wheeled version of its ZAPPY(R) scooter with a powerful, new drive technology, innovations designed to make the scooter more fun and easier to ride.

Called ZAPPY3, the new three-wheeled scooter uses a new, powerful drive technology built into the hub of the front wheel. Powered by a 36-volt power system, the larger, direct-drive wheel motor design improves the acceleration and provides greater efficiency for longer riding...."

It looks like it provides 90% of the functionality of a Segway for a fraction of the price.
