ePower Synergies was founded by Bruce Wood, the former director of John Deere's ePower technologies. The company has developed and markets a personal transporter called the RIDE® which competes directly against the Segway in the personal transporter vehicle market. Through its superior product offerings, ePower is well poised to benefit from the increased global demand for renewable energy innovations.

The merger will combine the strengths of each corporation to streamline the manufacturing process of ePower's electric vehicles. Initially, the companies will focus on mass producing the Blue-RIDE, a personal transporter designed specifically for law enforcement and private security forces needing enhanced visibility and presence for events, campuses, traffic and other areas heavily traversed by pedestrians.

"We view this merger as a great opportunity to enter the electric vehicle industry and utilize our expertise in the manufacturing and development with ePower's cutting edge technologies," commented Ultimate Sports' Chairman, Dr. Mart Maassen. "By consolidating our resources, we will reduce costs and increase manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy vehicles."

ePower Synergies Inc.

ePower Synergies, Inc., is a developer, integrator and marketer of advanced electric vehicles. The RIDE(TM) personal transporter (PT) is ePower's exciting new product.
