When activated the wheels instantly move at 60 MPH (88 feet per sec), a 10 foot long by 3 foot high wall of flame trail from the back wheels and require a strength and dexterity check to maintain control. Turning in any direction will require both strength and dexterity check unless a skill is developed to replace these checks. Failing one will cause the cart to go into a random turn. If the cart should strike an object (tree, building, pedestrian, etc) it will do 3d6 points of damage to the object and the cart (Roll checks for control). Critically failing one will cause the cart to disintegrate and damage anyone in the cart (5d6). Passengers are required to make strength checks at the start of the cart and at every turn to hold on unless they are strapped in. Failing their strength checks they are thrown from the cart and receive 2d6 points of damage from the fall.

Hot Wheels
By:
This wondrous item has only appeared in the last 150 years. Designed and build by an old and wise (mad or stupid said by some) gnome who loved to travel. This wizard, Bligard ââ?¬Å?Tripââ?¬Â Wirecraft, had the love for travel but hated the standard voyage methods (Horses, Flying, Teleportation, etc). So he developed a set of magic wheels that could be attached to a standard 4-wheel cart to get him from point A to point B as fast as possible. The first set of Hot Wheels nearly killed him, for you see the wheels have only two settings, on and off.

I would say you need to make a ride-check (wonderous vehicle or hot wheels) to stay in control.
The dammage people take when falling of or when the cart makes a wrong turn is terrible by the way. I would assume that the people traveling this way would typically be wizards and other "studious" characters. Warriors, Nature folk and such would probably prefer traveling on horse-back...
The general idea is great fun though. I would personaly assume that a person had to make a control check every minute for instance, unless of course there are paved roads to travel by, which seems not very likey in a medieval setting.
Oh, yes the required skill is special in such, that you always need to train.... by riding the vehicle....
I think the skill should be a class skill for all those that have knowledge arcana, disable device or a mechanical construction craft as a skill with at least five ranks.
