Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 29, 2005 -- Alien Scooters of Austin has been given the auspicious EPA Green Power Leadership Award and made a member of the EPA GPL Club for exemplary green power procurement. The company exceeded the minimum requirement for their nomination by factor of four. Alien Scooters is the largest retailer of electric power vehicles world-wide and the only Personal Electric Vehicle (PEV) maintenance facility in Central Texas. The company now stands proud alongside other local winners such as AISD and Whole Foods Market, and national winners like the Walter Reed Army facility and U.S. Dept. of Energy Headquarters at the Forrestal and Germantown Facilities.

Formed in 2002 to promote, sell, and service PEVs and promote electric power as an alternative to petroleum based fuels, Alien Scooters remains devoted renewal energy sources and not only is a member of Austin Energys Green Choice program, but uses their own vehicles to make sales and service calls whenever plausible. They are also in the development phase of a renewable recharge system. According to Founder Daniel White, "We practice what we preach, period."

With a new location in North Austin after less than two years of operation, the companys practices are both effective and needed. Founder Ann McSpadden says, "We are an Austin business. We have been very well received by the community, especially in the face of rising fuel prices. So much of our driving is short trips to local shops, parks, etc. Short trips are what the electric bikes and scooters do best."
