Master the Basics
Please take a look at this tutorial before you start riding. Start in an empty, safe place to try. Never attempt to operate the bike aggressively the moment you get on. Start with the lowest speed and make sure you can fully operate the bike before trying to speed up or wheelie.
For beginners
When you start with the auto-wheelie function, start with the lowest angle to get a general idea of what it feels like before stepping up to higher wheelie angles. Pop the front end from a standstill and maintain a slow, steady glide to feel the system engage. Simply roll off the throttle to end the wheelie; the front wheel will settle back down.
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: No "Brake + Throttle"
Manual vs. Auto-Wheelie Control
Manual Wheelie: Requires precise manual brake control to keep the bike from looping out.
Auto-Wheelie Assist: No manual braking is required to keep the front end up; the bike will lift and stabilize on its own.
If you apply the rear brake and then hit the throttle at the same time, it can cause the electric dirt bike to pitch back too far and lead to a fall. We suggest not holding the rear brake with your left hand while riding. To control your speed while in a wheelie, adjust how much you twist the throttle instead of hitting the brakes.
Hold the Throttle & Focus on Body Balance
When you wheelie, please hold the throttle. As long as you reach the selected angle, the system will lock the angle and physically prevent the bike from looping out.
Once the front wheel is up, you only need to focus on left-to-right body balance.
PRO TIP
-
Please note that Wheelie Mode cannot be activated immediately after a 100% charge due to the battery's initial peak voltage.
-
If your bike is at 100% charge, please ride for about 1 mile to drop the voltage slightly. Once the battery is below the 52V threshold, you’ll be able to enjoy Wheelie Mode.
-
If you’re new to dirt biking or still getting a feel for the electric dirt bike, we’d recommend not installing the rear fender just yet. If you loop out, the rear fender might get damaged. Once you’re comfortable with the handling, you can bolt it on.
-
During normal riding, we recommend keeping your hands on the brake levers at all times and preparing yourself for braking in an emergency. This is a safety precaution that allows you to react quickly and prevent any potential issues as you get started.
FAQ
Q: What is the top speed when using the Auto-Wheelie Assist?
A: You can hit the bike's absolute top speed! When the wheelie assist is engaged, the system's main job is to stabilize the bike's posture. As long as you maintain a smooth, steady throttle, your speed will climb linearly, eventually reaching the exact same top speed as normal riding.
Q: Does the Auto-Wheelie mode drain the battery faster?
A: Performing wheelies does use more power, but it's not the assist system causing it. Whether you're using the Auto-Wheelie Assist or doing a manual wheelie, keeping the front wheel up requires the motor to constantly push out heavy torque to counter gravity and hold the balance. This naturally uses more battery than cruising on flat ground. It's just the physics of stunt riding, not an extra power drain from the system itself.
