Wheelman up on ebay for decent price

[Kevbot]

This is not my auction, Just posting it here for 2 reasons.

1.) $350 + s&h is a about as good as it's been getting lately for a
starting price

2.) The pic shown in the auction looks different from the chinese
wheelman's I've seen around. Its not a g-wheel, bushpig, or koosko.
Could it possibly be the x-mecha wheeler or whatever that one no one
really knows about? The frame and engine definitely share more
similarity with a koosko than a g-wheel. But its clearly not a koosko.

This is an exact match to my first wheelman, which I bought the summer
of 2005.

It was chinese import. Me and my friends rode it for two summers and
one snowy winter before the engine started giving me trouble. Wouldn't
start properly and suffered from unexplainable sudden stops at an
increasing rate. Also it couldn't take hard landings, the chassis
eventually started cracking at the front wheel suspension strap. Still
I would say that this was very low maintainance and of superior
quality compared to later chinese models I've owned. It has a
fibreglass chassis, no breaks (but stops quite quickly by itself) and
no chain tensioner. The rear wheel is supported by the chassis only,
there are no metal reinforcements causing the chassis to wear at the
bolts, but this never caused me any problems (although it probably
would given enough time). Top speed was ~28-30kmh/18-20mph with a 95kg/
210lbs rider.
