LAS VEGAS, March 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Whistler Investments, Inc (OTCBB:WHIS) -- an emerging leader in the development and marketing of lithium ion vehicles, lithium ion powered technology and products worldwide, is pleased to announce that Global Electric and R Car will be unveiling several exciting prototypes at the upcoming GLOBE 2004 Conference being held in Vancouver, British Columbia, March 31 - April 2nd at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
R-Electric Car Company's (http://www.r-electriccar.com) revolutionary R-Car and ATV will be making their debut at GLOBE 2004. The R-Car capability includes the ability to travel in excess of 200 miles without the need to recharge, and offers a five-speed gearbox that allows the car to accelerate to speeds exceeding 90 MPH. In addition, our engineers have re-designed the charging capabilities. Consumers now have the ability to achieve a full charge in 3-5 hours and the ability to recharge over 1000 times. By adding more battery packs, consumers can substantially increase their range in the R-Car.
The two-person ATV offers a two-hour range on a flat surface and speeds reaching up to 35-40 MPH depending on the terrain. The ATV can climb steep hills, traverse rocky areas, standing water and swamps, is ideal for use in the backcountry or off-road areas making it the ideal choice for ranchers, hunters and nature lovers alike. The lithium ion powered ATV eliminates the threat of forest fires caused by gasoline powered ATVs, and allows consumers to reach destinations where the standard gasoline powered ATVs are restricted - a true All-Terrain Vehicle that can be used anywhere.
Global Electric Corporation's (http://www.globalelectric.com) conversion of the motorcycle and bicycle will also be making their debut at GLOBE 2004. The lithium ion converted motorcycle offers the ability to accelerate to speeds exceeding 50 MPH, can travel over 100 miles without the need to recharge, and the ability to fully charge in 1-3 hours. The lithium ion converted bicycle can travel at speeds over 15 MPH, travel for over two hours without the need to recharge and needs only 1-2 hours to recharge.
As demand for portability increases, Global Electric's development and implementation of the Lithium Portable Power Pak will cater to the ever-increasing needs of today's consumers looking to gain maximum duration and use from their laptops, cell phones and digital cameras. With many other portable devices currently in widespread use, the Lithium Portable Power Pak will add an additional 8-12 hours of use time to products such as Notebook PCs, DVD players and other high end toys while allowing consumers the ability to charge cell phones through their USB ports while using their computers in any wireless setting.
Whistler Investments is proud to be at the forefront of this revolutionary and exciting lithium ion powered technology and encourage you to visit our booth (#325) at GLOBE 2004 to witness first hand a demonstration of our products, and to attend "The Power of Lithium and Global Electric Transportation" luncheon with our technology founder, Mr. Chaz Haba.
