[edit] Summary

A young journalist named Willie Sheeler (voiced by Micky Dolenz of the 1960s group The Monkees) and his girlfriend Dooley Lawrence solve crimes with the help of his superhero motorcycle, Wonder Wheels. Whenever Willie goes into action, he utters his catchphrase: "This looks like a job for Won-won-won-won-won-won-won-won-won-won-won-won-wonder Wheels!". Then at the press of a button, Willie's beat-up motorcycle transforms into a souped-up version with a mind of its own.

Wonder Wheels continues to air as a segment on the shortened syndicated versions of The Skatebirds on Boomerang.
