Weego, innovator of portable jump starters and rechargeable battery packs, has announced the addition of three new jump starters to the Weego family at the 2016 American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo). Models have been created to complete a program of jump starters that can jump start virtually all gas and diesel engines, charge phones, tablets, power 12V accessories and light the way using many of the same design cues, technologies and feature sets already launched in Weego 44. Each successive model within the series targets larger engine displacements, increasing starting power, more innovative features and price points.
The line consists of Weego 22, Weego 44 and Weego 66; along with these is a high-value, jump-starting-only, ‘special’ model, called Weego 22S.
“Our U.S. product design and engineering team have been working extremely hard to build upon the success that we are already seeing with Weego 44,” said Gerry Toscani, CEO of Weego. “These three product extensions ultimately create a cohesive, full line, offering a model for anyone that loves to travel, camp, fish, adventure ride, and more. Whether moms to mechanics, road warriors to seasoned boaters, a new Weego is available to end dead-battery panic. We have a jump starter for any size engine, any size budget!”

All of the new models feature safety protections with Smarty Clamps playing a pivotal role in alerting the user to any issues.

Reverse Polarity Detection, Over-Heat Protection, Power Surge Protection and Anti-Spark Protection are technologies built in for a user’s peace-of-mind. And all Weego models are independent lab tested and backed by a ‘Crazy Long’ 18-month warranty.
“We knew immediately when designing Weego 44 that it would be extremely important to bring all of the same quality and provide targeted feature sets of jumping, charging, powering and lighting to different-sized jump starters. Not only should the products be easy to use, they should be easy to buy,” said Toscani. “As I like to say, when it comes to portable power we’ve got your number!”
All three new products, along with Weego 44, were on display at the 2016 American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo), Oct. 13-16, at the Orlando Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
“We are especially excited to have the opportunity to show the full family for the first time at AIMExpo because we feel all of these products, especially the 22 and 22S are perfectly suited for motorcycle and powersports’ riders,” Toscani added.
Weego 22, 22S and 66 will be available in March 2017.
