THE NEXT EXTREME SPORT!
The New Bushpig by Wheelman Pty Ltd The Original Australian Model
Hubless Two Wheel Motorized All Terrain Skateboard

San Diego, CA - Bridging the gap between a toy and a high performance transportation vehicle, the Bushpig by Wheelman Pty Ltd is on the cutting edge of technology for the future with it¹s all new 2005 Bushpig 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 Bushpig (The Original Australian Model) offers a variety of innovative features not found in any other motorized personal transportation vehicle. The Wheelman has been recognized as one of Time Magazine¹s "Best Inventions of the Year", and has also been featured on Livin¹ Large TV, CNN, Ripley¹s Believe It Or Not, Planet X TV, XCorps TV and in FHM men¹s magazine.

For starters, theBushpigs "sideways stance² is similar to wakeboards, surfboards, skateboards and snowboards. The center mounted high-performance 43 cc engine delivers a smooth surf-like ride and top speeds of over twenty mph. The narrow 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 Bushpig 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, disc 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 41 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 there¹s 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, ³We 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 market². Founded in 2001, Wheelman offers the highest quality, most cutting edge hubless wheel powered off road board in the world.
