Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch is an American animated series made by Hanna-Barbera which aired on NBC. The series had a short run (mainly due to negative reception towards the show, which pointed at the negative depiction of motorcycles as portrayed by the Chopper Bunch), having only one season with thirteen episodes, consisting of three segments each.
The series follows Wheelie, a voiceless (but can make beeps/horns that the other characters can understand) racing/stunt car that resembles a Volkswagen Beetle. In every episode, he is seen to often find himself having to contend with the Chopper Bunch, the antagonists of the series who are a group of hoodlum motorcycles. The Chopper Bunch would mostly attempt to outsmart Wheelie, only to fail everytime, resulting them into getting consequences for their actions, which sometimes involved police.
