On the set of Mythbusters riding SBUs with Adam Savage and the Mythbusters crew – life is good! Daniel (SBU inventor) presented SBU #2 to Adam Savage (host of Mythbusters) on set at an undisclosed location. We are totally going to use Adam for all of our product testing, if he can’t break it, it won’t break. This SBU trip was totally wizard! We would give more details, but we are sworn to Mythbusters secrecy until the episode airs.
SBU Myth Busted! No, Plausible!

Thanks Bill,
We released the newer version 2.0 in October of 2010. The 20″ wheel is actually a perfect trade-off of speed and torque. You can travel about 10 or 12 mph. with this wheel and can climb most hills (about a 20% grade).
