I, William Hartman, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of ZAP;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this annual report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report.

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I am responsible
     for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
     defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we
     have:

     a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business issuer including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
          to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
          in which this report is being prepared;

     b)   designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
          such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
          our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
          reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
          statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principals:

     c)   evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
          controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions

          of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and

     d)   disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter ( the small
          business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
          report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
          materially affect, the small business issuer's internal control over
          financial reporting; and

5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
     based on our most recent evaluation, to the small business issuer'sauditors
     and the audit committee of small business issuer's board of directors (or
     persons performing the equivalent function):

     a)   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the small business issuer's
          ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and
          have identified for the small business issuer's auditors any material
          weaknesses in internal controls; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.
