The Hot Wheeler is a community-created special taunt for the Pyro.
When activated through the taunts menu, the Pyro jumps to the side as a team-colored motorized tricycle, with a flaming paint job and a Teufort license plate that reads "MMPH", appears; they jump on its seat and proceed to drive it, holding onto only the right hand clutch and occasionally mumbling. Pressing MOUSE1 makes the Pyro drive it more enthusiastically for a moment. The player continuously moves forward during the taunt, only being able to steer left and right. When the taunt is ended, the Pyro jumps off with a determined pose, and the tricycle disappears into the ground.
The Hot Wheeler was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Trivia
- The item's name is a reference to the toy car brand Hot Wheels.[1]
