WHEEGO ELECTRIC CARS DELIVERS TO FIRST ATLANTA CUSTOMER
ATLANTA (November 4, 2009) – WHEEGO ELECTRIC CARS, manufacturer of all-electric cars, today announced delivery of its first car to an Atlanta customer.
Stephen Currie, 41-year-old Atlanta resident, drove home his Wheego Whip LSV on Friday, October 30. “I’m interested in this emerging technology,” says the Georgia Tech grad and Earthlink Product Manager. “Not just for the environment, but also for the science of it – understanding how it works and where it will lead us. Most of my driving is intown, so this is a great car for me.”
Wheego Electric Cars are available locally through Wheego of Marietta, managed by Brian Dean. Sixteen dealers represent the Wheego brand nationally, with additional dealers being added each month.

My wife and I love the car….we have a couple suggestions to make the car even better!
Improvement Suggestions for Wheego:
1) Seatbelt guide (add clip to side of seat): It’s a pain to have to turn completely around to reach the seatbelt from behind to buck-up.
220V power cable should be standard
2) Front License Plate Holder: The inside nuts need to be afixed to the rear (not loose)…we took off the plate and the nut fell in between a brace and took me 20-minutes to find and dig out.
3) Mileage Tracker (Digital Read-Out): Include a read-out with estimated “Remaining Mileage” rather than guessing based on the green, yellow, orange indicator guage. This digital read-out should constantly adjust based on your driving.
4) Hood Prop Bar: It would be easier to have the bar located on the car rather than the hood itself…makes it easier to secure.
5) Rear-View Mirror: Lower the mirror mount to allow for easier view out the back
6) Adjustable steering column (obvious reasons)
7) Tire carrier should be standard
