"Taking Control
Of Excite Truck’s many features, best known is its Wii Remote tilt-control steering, which was a revolution when the title launched alongside the Wii. This control method is unchanged in Excitebots: you hold the remote sideways in both hands with the buttons facing up, and you tilt either side up or down (Like a seesaw) to turn left of right. Twisting the towards or away from you lets you angle the bot in midair to land on all four…"

Is this one of multiple control schemes, or is this the scheme. If so, i think it would be very awkward for the Wheel, don't you?

That's the old control method, released well before the Wii Wheel. They have Wii Wheel support right on the box, so they must have some kind of option to tilt with the buttons facing towards the player. I bet you could even program the game to play with buttons up or buttons forward without requiring a change in settings.

 

Point of interest. The article seems to continue onto the next page. The last setance from the scan is "Twisting the remote towards or away from you lets you angle the bot in midair to land on all four" no period, and says four not fours suggesting the next word is actually wheels.
