The Next Extreme Sport! The New WHEELMAN Hubless Two Wheel Motorized Offroad Skateboard
LONG BEACH, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/04/2003 -- Bridging the gap between a recreational toy and a high performance machine, the Wheelman is on the cutting edge of technology for the future with its all new Wheelman personal transport vehicle. It's like a motorcycle for your feet, and this hubless vehicle is a new breed of off-road transportation fun! The Wheelman offers a variety of innovative features not found in any other motorized personal transportation vehicle. The Wheelman has been recognized as one of Time Magazine's "Best Inventions of the Year," and has also been featured on Livin' Large TV, CNN, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and in FHM men's magazine.
For starters, the Wheelman's "sideways stance" is similar to surfboards, skateboards and snowboards. The center mounted high-performance 41.5 cc engine delivers a smooth surf-like ride and top speeds of over twenty mph. The slender mid-engine chassis uses two large hubless ten-inch off-road tires which surround each foot making the rider's feet the axles of the wheel. This unique feature makes the rider literally part of the machine, giving the rider an unparalleled level of stability and control.
The Wheelman is constructed of lightweight high strength ABS plastic and alloy metals for durability and long life. Other innovations include a safety tether stop switch, centrifugal clutch, C.D.I. electronic ignition, drum brake and large knobby tires. The flexible twisting frame and hand controlled throttle and brake levers also add to the extreme experience! The Wheelman is only 42 inches long, 14 inches high, weighs only 50 pounds, and can easily adapt for left or right foot riders. The Wheelman has a runtime of more than one hour and can support riders up to 250 lbs.
These features alone make the Wheelman one of the most unique personal vehicles ever, but there's more! Very soon, Wheelman will unveil a low emission 4-stroke power plant, multiple color combinations and performance parts and accessories.
Inventor Grant Taylor is proud to say, "We have spent over ten years on research and development of the Wheelman. The result is by far the most innovative, lightest, most powerful and durable personal off-road vehicle on the market." Founded in 2001, Wheelman offers the highest quality, most cutting edge hubless wheel powered off road board in the world.
