The highly anticipated and long awaited MotoTec Wheelman Version 2 is
finally here! Through state-of-the-art design and manufacturing
techniques, the new generation of Wheelman have taken a technological
leap forward! Now available in Gas and Electric versions.
What is the Wheelman?
The Wheelman is a center mounted engine
and frame vehicle, supported at each end by a spokeless wheel into
which your feet can be inserted while standing upright. The Wheelman has
a 50cc 2-stroke engine which takes a mix of gas and oil just like a
weed whacker. It holds one liter of fuel and will give you a run time of
over one hour or 30 miles and speeds up to 25 MPH. The Wheelman is also
known as: Bushpig, G-Wheel, Xcite Bike and G-Motion. It was named one
of Time Magazine's "Best Inventions of the Year in November, 2002" The
Wheelman has also been featured on television shows like: The NBC Today
Show, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Livin Large and X-Corps TV.
How does it work?
The learning curve of a Wheelman is very similar to skate/snow/surf
board riding. And if you have any experience in these you will be
surprised on how fast you pick it up. At speed you use body movement to
steer and at low speed (and you can ride a Wheelman at an extremely slow
pace) you can angle the front wheel from side to side with your foot.
The speed is controlled by a cable type controller held in your hand,
the more you squeeze, the more fun you have! To slow down, simply let
off of the throttle for a slow smooth deceleration. To stop quickly,
simply pull the brake lever on the hand held control.
Tearing up the grass, sliding in the dirt, cruising the beach, that's
the Wheelman life! Don't be the last on your block to own one!
