How to Wheelie an Electric Bike

Introduction

• Importance of watching the entire video for learning how to wheelie any electric bike.
• Mention of a $10,000 cash giveaway for e-bike enthusiasts.
• Coverage of street-legal e-bikes, mini motos, Sur Rons, 72-volt Neurons, and full-sized e-motos.

Safety Precautions

• Always gear up with at least a helmet and gloves.
• When learning, additional padding like boots, knee pads, and spine armor is recommended.
• Ensure your brakes are functional; you must be able to lock your rear wheel with one finger.

Training Basics

• Start practicing on grass or use a trainer to avoid harsh falls.
• Do not practice alone and maintain a positive attitude as learning takes time.

Acoustic Bike Wheelie Basics

• Example: 27.5 inch Beast Mode from SE Bikes with no motor and one pedal gear.
• Golden Rule: Always have a finger on the rear brake.
• Practice pedaling up to the power band and perform the pop:
  • Lean chest over handlebars.
  • Press down on your dominant pedal at its highest point and pull back on handlebars.
  • Keep head forward, eyes on the horizon.
• Goal: Achieve the balance point where wheelie control is maintained through braking and pedaling.

Wheelie Basics for E-bikes

• Example: P51 750 watt hub motor with left-hand rear brake.
• Golden Rule: Maintain finger on brake, unplug rear brake sensor.
• Perform the pop:
  • Stand up and compress forks.
  • Pull back using body weight.
  • Pull bars evenly with eyesight on the horizon.
• Add throttle to the pop for better lift.

Advanced E-bike Wheelies

• Moving to higher wattage e-bikes (11,000 Watts) and technique refinement.
• Example: Razer MX500 with a drive motor:
  • Do not compress forks; use slight body weight shift.
  • Maintain control by hugging the bike with your legs.
  • Dance around the balance point using throttle and brake.

Sur Ron and Talaria Bikes Wheelies

• Sur Ron X with 6 kilowatts and mid-drive motor.
• Throttle usage for popping:
  • Push down on forks while applying body weight.
  • Maintain straight handlebars with eyes on the horizon.
• Focus on achieving a high wheelie rather than a prolonged one.

Common Mistakes

• Avoid looking down or leaning forward.
• Commit fully to the pop using full throttle and body weight.
• Avoid dropping legs or losing control by not hugging the bike.

Recommendations for Beginners

• Practice on bikes with lower power for safety.
• Use knobby tires on grass initially before transitioning to street wheels.

Upgraded Bikes

• Example: 72-volt Sur Ron with high power upgrades:
  • Upgraded controller, battery, and components.
  • Use of high regen levels for safety and brake management.
• Advanced techniques for managing the throttle and balance.

Conclusion

• Summary of techniques:
  • Follow the Golden Rule for safety.
  • Execute a controlled pop to reach the balance point.
  • Dance around the balance point using throttle and brake.
