Product Information:

 MOTOR TABS™ Fluid Replacement System turns ordinary water into a smooth, refreshing sports drink! It’s as simple as dropping an effervescent tablet into water. Designed for use any time around participatory athletic activity or when additional electrolytes are required, MOTOR TABS is a portable sports drink that can go anywhere, as the tablets are individually wrapped in water/air tight foil packages that protect them from sweat, dirt and other harmful elements.  Whether it’s on the bike, run, hike, gym or at work, MOTOR TABS restores vital fluids that are lost during physical activity or illness.

MOTOR TABS relies on an optimal ratio of sodium/potassium and a unique blend of three energy sources (dextrose, sucrose, maltodextrin), providing a well-balanced array of ingredients. MOTOR TABS restores electrolyte balance and provides a solid energy profile to help maintain peak performance throughout training, racing or exercise sessions.  Each tablet delivers 250 mg of sodium, 75 mg of potassium, 16 grams of carbohydrate and 65 calories.  Athletes may customize each bottle based on individual fluid intake requirements by using one, one-and-a-half or two MOTOR TABS for every 16oz/473mL - 20oz/591mL of water.   Once the tablets dissolve – just a few minutes in room temperature water - there is no sediment or residual settling, as dissolution is thorough and complete.  Cleaning bottles, hydration systems and reservoirs is quick and easy as well. 

MOTOR TABS is a ‘foundation’ sports drink, as it’s sufficient for rehydrating athletes participating in most conditions.  If additional calories are required (for events or training sessions that are several hours in length), consuming gels, sports bars or whole foods is encouraged. MOTOR TABS provides a solid base from which to build on your nutritional protocols, and is extremely easy on the stomach as well.

While the Brand’s heritage is firmly rooted in the Endurance Sports realm, we are confident that MOTOR TABS will help athletes from all sports stay properly hydrated.  The bottom line is that if you sweat - it works!  We have athletes onboard from triathlon, cycling, surfing, motocross, skateboarding, karting, off-road racing and many more which rely on MOTOR TABS to top off their fluid levels.  Additionally, hard-working Americans who either work outside or in warm temperatures rely on MOTOR TABS as well to keep them performing at their best – while on the clock!

Throughout the two-year+ product development process, athletes like triathlon superstar Michellie Jones, a 45-year-old ice hockey player - on down to kids playing youth soccer and everyone in between tested the product and provide comprehensive feedback.  While each athlete had different fluid intake requirements and used the product with different amounts of water and in varying tablet quantities, the resounding comment was “when will this product be commercially available?”  The testers enjoyed the product and we are confident that you will too.

FAQ's:

Q: Why an effervescent tablet?
A: We opted to develop the effervescent tablet delivery system as a means of marketing a truly portable sports drink. Yes, there are several great, single-serve, powdered sports drinks commercially available, but they can spill and be somewhat messy. With the tablet format, it provides more portability and even if it’s dropped and the tablet breaks it’s salvageable. The single-serve foil wrapper also provides flexibility as you can take only the required number of tabs with you for the given training session - just what you need to get the job done.

Q: Is it carbonated?
A: No, it’s not carbonated but there are bubbles, which one of our endorsers (Richard Meeker) refers to as “exhaust.” The bubbles are produced by effervescent ingredients. The effervescent ingredients are what thoroughly dissolve the tablets.

Q: What is the carbohydrate composition?
A: MOTOR TABS relies on a three carbohydrate blend (dextrose, sucrose and maltodextrin). This provides energy (65 calories/tablet) and helps facilitate electrolyte (sodium/potassium) absorption in the gut. This carbohydrate blend is optimal for the effervescent tablet delivery system and provides roughly half the sugar/carbs as many of the leading sports drinks.

Q: Do I need to shake the bottle?
A: No, the effervescent ingredients will thoroughly dissolve the tablet. Once dissolved, there is not need to shake the bottle as there is no sediment or residue.

Q: Why are there numbers (1, 1.5 and 2) printed on the MOTOR TABS bottles?
A: This is a simple way for racers (and people who think they’re racers) to get their preferred “strength” in each bottle. Soigneurs can use a Sharpie to circle the number of tabs in each bottle. That way each racer will get his/her preferred tab/water combination. For example, Mike might like one tablet his bottle but Jamie might like two tabs…each racer can tell the car or the person doing the hand-ups which strength he/she prefers. It takes the guesswork out of the equation and simplifies race preparation and execution.

Q: What if the opening on my bottle is smaller than the tab?
A: No problem, simply break the tab into small enough bits to fit into the opening. This will also reduce dissolution time.

Q: Can I use MOTOR TABS to replenish electrolytes lost due to the flu?
A: Of course! You can take the tabs with water or try them with your favorite lemon-lime cola beverage as well.

Q: Can I mix MOTOR TABS flavors?
A: Yes. The FRUIT PUNCH/ORANGE combination is phenomenal. If you’re in a bind or just want to change gears, give it try.

Q: Can I eat MOTOR TABS?
A: No, absolutely do NOT eat MOTOR TABS.
