[1] The Whip and a highway-capable version, the Wheego LiFe, were produced from 2011 to 2013, with a total of approximately 300 units being completed when production ceased.

[2] Wheego Electric Cars Inc. was formed as a spin out from RTEV (Ruff & Tuff Electric Vehicles) in June 2009, having formed a partnership with Chinese car manufacturer Shuanghuan Auto, with the Whip as its first automobile.

[1] These versions used dry cell sealed AGM lead–acid batteries, with an all-electric range of 80 kilometres (50 mi) on a single charge, and capable of recharging on any standard household 110 or 220-volt electrical outlet.

The vehicle was marketed under the Wheego Whip name in North America and the Shuanghuan E-Noble in the rest of the world.

Wheego's business strategy was to build the cars only when the company gets money from sales or through venture capital.
