Safety Issues
January 14th, 2007 | Posted in: Safety
There seem to be two major concerns our there about this vehicle’s safety. One is the fact that the battery could overheat and explode. Remember the Sony Li-ion battery recall? This is usually a rare event and there should be safeguard probes within the batteries that cut over current when heat begins to rise too high. But what could happen in an impact? Do we feel that is an issue.
The second item of concern I have heard about is EMFs. EMFs generally refer to magnetic fields which are generated around a flowing current. We have no evidence that magnetic fields are harmful to the body.
