BELLEVUE, Washington, Sept. 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bellevue, Washington based Evader, Inc. (www.evadermotorsports.com) (Pink Sheets:EVDR), the maker of electric high-performance vehicles powered by leading-edge proprietary technology, is pleased to announce that an Evader 1000 has been chosen by Turtle Island Foods of Hood River, Oregon to be given away as the grand prize in a national promotion.
"We are pleased that Turtle Island Foods has chosen Evader as the electric motor scooter to be used as the grand prize in this major campaign," said Evader CEO Ken Kelley.
Turtle Island Foods are the makers and distributors of the famous "Tofurky" as featured on TV stations from Los Angeles to Tampa Bay and mentioned on prime time network shows such as "The O.C.," "X-Files" and even "Jeopardy." "Tofurky" -- tofu that is flavored to resemble turkey products -- is the #1 selling alternative to actual turkey in America. Since it was launched in 1995, more than 850,000 Tofurky roasts have been sold, many of them at Thanksgiving. So, to commemorate the sale of the one millionth Tofurky Roast, Turtle Island is holding a contest throughout the country to give consumers a chance to guess how many Tofurkys will be sold by midnight, December 31, 2006. The grand prizewinner will drive away on a brand new Evader 1000 electric motor scooter. Anyone can enter by going to www.tofurky.com.
"We conducted a thorough study of all available electric motor scooters and settled on Evader because it was by far the best choice," said Seth Tibbot, President and founder of Turtle Island Foods. "As two environmentally-conscious enterprises, this is a perfect fit."
The campaign officially kicks off on October 1 and runs through December 31, 2006. Customers will have an opportunity to try both Tofurky and Evader scooters in selected cities throughout the country.
