The store is located at 2715 Hyde Street near Fisherman's Wharf and will also double as an EV bike/scooter rental and parts-purchasing outlet. The date of the opening coincides with the opening of a sister store in China. "This is an historic first," said ZAP's managing director Gary Starr. "Nowhere else in the world, till now, has there been a store dedicated to the viewing, demo-ing, renting and selling of small, low-powered electric vehicles. We at ZAP are proud that San Francisco is this nation's first city to launch a store of this kind. It was tapped because San Franciscans in general seem to understand the importance of using such vehicles for fun and the pursuit of conservation of our precious resources. We expect that residents and tourists alike will use our electric bikes and scooters to tour some of San Francisco's most scenic areas."
