VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIQ Mountain Industries Inc. (TSXV:SIQ) (“SIQ” or
the “Company”) reports that it has initiated its business development programs. The Company has been established to develop
an international outdoor lifestyle brand to be simply known as SIQ™. The objective is to create proprietary athletic
entertainment equipment and products that promote a healthy outdoor lifestyle for people of all ages.
The Company’s initial product offering is a proprietary (patents pending) bike-like device (SBX) that
transitions the mountain bike/motocross experience into a winter activity when it is attached to a snowboard or skis. The SBX
features a lightweight/foldable design making it easy to place in confined spaces such as a small car, checked luggage, or,
helicopter basket. Once unfolded the SBX attaches to a standard snowboard or skis and offers a suspension and riding stance similar
to mountain bike or motocross. It requires no special footwear or other gear, although helmets are recommended for safety
reasons. The rider is able to maintain a biker position as the individual navigates the snow covered terrain of their
choice. It is gravity powered and designed to be a new “cool” fun activity for snow enthusiasts from beginners to advanced
riders.
The concept SBX prototype has been completed and tested. A production engineering firm is being engaged to
create a final consumer ready production prototype. This involves the design and creation of production drawings, materials
analysis and consumer safety testing. Once vetted and certified by the engineers the Company will move to engage supply
chains and assembly operations.
The Company is in the process of leasing a 6,000 square foot facility in Kelowna, BC, Canada, the hub of the
western Canadian ski industry. The Company expects to be utilizing this space on December 1, 2017. It will provide
receiving, assembly, shipping, sales, administration and graphic art operations. Website and social media capability is
currently being designed and the Company expects to be operational by January 2018.
Mr. Peter Hughes, CEO of the Company comments, “Management is excited to introduce the SIQ™ brand to a
multi-million dollar international sports entertainment market. In addition to our SBX technology our ambition is to develop
longer term strategies to introduce new product lines in both winter and summer outdoor activities. Our goal is to promote
products that are exciting for customers, promote fitness and facilitate a healthy active lifestyle.”
