This summer new Mercury Mountaineer SUVs will come with a ZAPPY electric scooter inside, made by Northern California's ZAPWORLD.COM (OTC BB:ZAPP). The offer is good through June 30th at Lincoln Mercury dealers in California and Hawaii.

The battery powered ZAPPY is one of the world's most portable electric vehicles, able to fold to the size of a small suitcase.

It travels at bicycle speeds with a single battery charge lasting several miles. The ZAPPY can be recharged at any household outlet with its portable charger or by a cigarette lighter with an optional mobile charger.
