Specific to WHEEGO models, the following safe habits should always be followed:
• WHEEGO battery-electric vehicles are motor vehicles. For this reason, safety belts
should always be worn by all occupants while the vehicle is in operation.
• The WHEEGO Whip LSV is NOT designed to meet any collision or roll-over
requirements. Therefore, you should always drive your WHEEGO in a safe manner
while being alert to potentially dangerous situations around you. As with all motor
vehicles, never drink alcohol and attempt to drive a WHEEGO. Operate a WHEEGO
only on public or private roads where the speed limits are appropriate for low speed
vehicles (individual state laws vary, so please check with your DMV) and the traffic is
light. You should never operate a WHEEGO in such a way that you obstruct faster
moving traffic. You should be carefuul when crossing a road with a higher speed unit.
State laws vary on road speeds that LSV’s may cross.
• WHEEGO battery-electric vehicles should be recharged from a standard 120VAC 15
amp electrical outlet. Charging from a circuit of lesser capacity and/or using a cord
from an outlet to the WHEEGO that is not sufficient in wire gauge could create a fire
hazard. Please consult this manual for the proper extension cord gauge and length.
• The battery pack is what you charge and provides the “energy” to the WHEEGO
electric drive system. The voltage in a WHEEGO battery pack is sufficient to cause
death by electrocution. For this reason, WHEEGO owners should NEVER attempt to
do any maintenance or repair work on their WHEEGO’s electric drive system,
including the battery pack, unless they have had special training.
Please read, understand and abide by the above safety precautions for years of safe
operation and enjoyment of your WHEEGO.
