Characters

Main

• Zooter (voiced by Janet James) is a pink pig/scooter who's the jungle messenger. She can zoom around the jungle. She's Ellyvan's best friend. She says the title of every episode.
• Ellyvan (voiced by Billy West) is a blue elephant/van who can deliver everything. He's Zooter's best friend. His name is a compound word, albeit fictitious. He is capable of sucking improbable quantities of liquids up his trunk and spraying them.
• Bungo (voiced by Keith Wickham) is a golden yellow rabbit/cargo who invents stuff. He's the only Wheeler good at jumping; being able to leap many times his own height into the air. He carries a sign with the episode's title at the beginning. During the credits at the end of every episode in Season 1, he appears with signs and he asks the viewers for some help finding the right sign.

Recurring

• Taxicrab (voiced by Jess Harnell) is a red crab with eyestalks who likes to dance. He makes the greatest smoothies in the jungle. His name derives from "taxi cab", and he's the only Wheeler capable of driving sideways. Despite the fact that Toadhog is often impatient, Taxicrab tolerates him the most.
• Carla (voiced by Laraine Newman) is an orange koala/cargo who owns a grocery shop. She only appears in Season 1.
• Crocker (voiced by Keith Wickham) is a green lisping crocodile and the fire chief. He wears a yellow helmet with a red flashing light on top. He has a skill at gardening and knows how to make compost. His name comes from the phrase which is slang in the United Kingdom, used to describe many second hand cars.
• Hippobus (voiced by Amanda Symonds) is a bright yellow hippopotamus/school bus. Her name derives from "Hippie Bus", usually a redecorated Volkswagen Bus. She brings the 5 Beetlebugs to school.
• The Beetlebugs are tiny Wheelers. Their shape derives from the Volkswagen Beetle. Their speech is mostly synchronized. There are 5 of them: Reddie (the red one), Orangey (the orange one), Greenie (the green one), Bluey (the blue one), and Goldie (the yellow one).
• Lance (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is a purple rhinoceros and an ambulance. His name is both a contraction of ambulance and a reference to a weapon used by lancers who attacked with it at a full charge, much like a rhino attacking things by charging at them.
• Bobby (voiced by Jimmy Hibbert) is a blue toucan as the police chief of the jungle. His name derives from the British slang word for police officers. He's the only Wheeler who can fly, and he's just the one to have a 3-wheeled chassis.
• Dozer (voiced by Keith Wickham) is a beige bull as well as a construction worker. His name and shape derives from "bulldozer", being a pun. His talent is digging and repairing roads with his yellow dozer blade.
• Miss Jolly (voiced by Amanda Symonds) is a zebra and the school teacher. She's the oldest and wisest of the Wheelers. She wears glasses. She's white with black stripes.
• Toadhog (voiced by Ron Orbach) is a grouchy green toad who likes worms and Fifi flies. His sticky tongue can shoot out a long way to grab things. His name derives from "roadhog", which is used to describe an aggressive and reckless motorist. He might be responsible for Jungle Junction's power supply; his water wheel powers the generator for all the lights, and he has a supplementary generator that is used to power the Christmas lights. He loses his patience with almost everyone, except for Taxicrab.
