SiQ Mountain Industries Inc. Announces Wholly Owned Subsidiary SiQ Ride Rentals Inc.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SiQ Mountain Industries Inc. (TSXV: SIQ) (the “Company” or “SiQ”) is pleased to report that as a key strategic component of its brand development it has established a wholly owned subsidiary company SiQ Ride Rentals Inc. (“SRR”). SRR has been incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

Our suite of SiQRide products is designed to offer new exciting recreational experiences.  Rental products are expected to include, initially, our proprietary SiQRocker and Snow Bike, plus the eFoil hydrofoil and the Onewheel electric skateboard. This business structure is expected to generate revenue streams from equipment rentals and instruction services, which also promotes the growth of product sales from an enthusiastic and loyal customer base.  

The rental model is founded on making SiQRide products accessible to those who would like to experience the product before purchasing or are unsure about making a purchase.  Constraints for potential owners of SiQRide products may include budget issues, available recreation time, transportation challenges, and available storage space.  Some potential customers cannot justify a sizable investment for certain SiQRide products given the limited time they may use the product and storage challenges when not in use.  The obvious solution is to offer them the SiQRide experience through rental locations.

Peter Hughes, CEO of the Company, comments “Our SiQRide brand development is dedicated to creating and distributing amazing recreational experiences to our prospective customers. By offering customers rental and instructional programs we expect to generate additional revenue streams, both from rental income and subsequent sale of our products.”
