INTRODUCTION TO SAFE OWNERSHIP OF WHEEGO LOW SPEED VEHICLES
WHEEGO battery-electric vehicles are different from vehicles you might be accustomed to
owning. Special precautions should be followed when owning and operating a WHEEGO.
Please pay particular attention to the cautions and warnings in this manual, as well as those
placed on the vehicle in various locations.
Electric cars provide a great amount of torque when the accelerator is pressed. This may
cause the car to spin its tires, particularly on wet or slippery pavement. WHEEGO battery-
electric vehicles are designed to meet US Federal Government safety requirements for a
special class of vehicle known as “Low Speed Vehicles.” By this very name, and implicit in
these safety requirements, these vehicles are intended only for use at low speed, up to 25
mph, and on public roads (as governed by individual state laws) where the speed limits are
correspondingly low and do not exceed 35 mph.
