Ya not as good is you guys yet tho. This video makes me wanna go work on my no handers and will probably die lol. I have some tips for just starting out. Lowest gear and in the grass. Put weight over the front then pull up and back hard as your dominant foot gets to the highest point. So when my right foot reaches the top of the stroke I then pedal and pull back. As you get better get into higher gears til you find the perfect one. :D Hope I help someone.
At times, on motorcycles I could wheelie pretty good, even around corners to some degree. But a 4 stroke makes it way easier, automatic good brakes off throttle. I have flipped a CR250R Honda over backwards, twice, in 5th gear as a youngster. And walked away both times. I used to wheelie a Schwinn with the best of them, sting ray and 26" wheel bike. Now I need to learn the E Bike. Lowering the seat for wheelies is something I havent tried yet on my Canyon E. Today its sunny out, I will give it a go. There is nothing saying 66 year old guys cant wheelie.
So I am 58 years old and I am finally mastering it. The little kids up the street always yell at me to do a wheelie and people always cheer me on because you can tell I'm not a young kid. It is such a fun skill to learn and it definitely transfers to your writing skills on the trail. I also keep a trials bike in my living room and whenever there are boring meetings going on at work I turn my camera off and my volume up and I practice track stands on my bicycle in my living room and tracks Stans also helped immensely with your balance. Also when pulling a wheelie always keep your eye on the horizon and never look down, I try to just feel it and never watch the wheelie.
Im 66 and not above doing wheelies. It freaks roadbiking guys out if You wheelie a roadbike a little, or nose wheelie it some. They dont do any of that stuff.
This was so awesome to watch especially for a 50 year old BMXer and BMX freestyler like me! Seeing a GT doing awesome jumps and a GT jersey brought back memories of my freestyling days when I met Eddie Fiola in Central Florida in 1987 on my pro performer neon orange freestyle bike I competed on and got 3rd place ground and first place overall doing sketchy ramp at a freestyle contest in Tampa FL 1988. Now, I have an E bike, nothing fancy, but a LOT of fun!
I,m 53 yo and my nick name is old man wheelie can wheelie for something like 5km up hill down round corners coasters and my tips are lean back look forward keep your upper body solid in a strong position and use tini body movements to correct direction and smaller rear disc rotor makes it way easier to learn brake control and practice practice practice at my best i would wheelie around for about 2 hours every night better than tv .
Great tutorial and just a real enjoyable video. Makes me wanna get out and practice. First I need my first EMTB. Damn hard to find stock down here in Aus!
It's very satisfying to be able to do high speed manuals downhill, standing while doing it is easier but also a bit scarier. Having your knees bent allows you to push the rear forward if the front end starts to come down and then control the front if its a bit high with the rear brake.
Practice, it took me a month , one hour a day. The key is a little speed prior to the wheelie , 6th gear on the flat, the pre pop front fork squash and going too far back and using the rear brake to balance you front to back. I kept under commiting to how far back i needed to go so the key there is purposely go too much and get back with the rear brake, make it part of the plan and you will get better faster. I can go over 100m most attempts ,one year ago i could get 10m maybe because the front was low and i simply ran out of cadence
Me too. I can't get used to the surge when I ease off the pedal stroke. The lower power modes is a little easier but still not as good as my regular bike. Maybe I can tune the surge out somehow.
Watching from 8:15 to 8:20. Please someone explain the sorcery. What on earth did I just see his seat do? If it was a suspension seat it was a bit late on the rebound... Also should an ebike wheelie newbie lock out the rear suspension when learning wheelies or no?
the seat is called a dropper post its just a way better way of moving your seat up and down, there is a little lever that you install on the bars and when you press it down it makes your seat go up like what you saw in the video and if you then hold the lever and put weight on the seat it will go back down, they are a really good upgrade to your bike if you do a lot of climbing hills and downhill trails and all that, also with the rear suspension its really all up to personal preference, some people like to feel solid and not move to much while pedaling in a wheelie but me personally I like to keep the suspension unlocked so I can load the suspension before going into the wheelie to help me pop up my front wheel easier
@@al-du6lb Yeah it's kind of strange that motorcycles and bicycles are so similar but the front brake is on the opposite side. Makes it dangerous if you get confused and hit the wrong brake.
Can you wheelie? If so, do you have any tips for other people learning wheelies?

still learning this , one of the hardest parts is to start in a straith line. and break controll.

Absolutely love the videos with these 3 ….. ebikes bring so many different levels of riders together…….
I thought no hand wheelies are non existent until I saw this video XD sick
I'm pretty sure Wyn Masters also does the voice of Korg from the Marvel Universe/Thor movies.
I thought that was Blake wearing a wig.
Do you think they look similar? 🤔 Wyn is quite a bit taller than Blake
Did you have the B team on camera today. Lol.

yep, this Wyn dude sounds and looks like Blake with hair
@@embn similar voices, just sounded like Blake doing an accent. Have you actually seen the two of them in the same room?
Wyn definitely was born with the wheelie gene !
Great when you have good mates to egg you on aswell and shaking that fear of landing on your back like a turtle 😂
First time wheelie! When you pull up the front wheel! Try keep your head look as far distance as possible! It helps a bit...
Great advice Cecilia! 🤜
I'm new to ebikes, but cannot wheelie so far at all. Used to wheelie well with regular bikes before though..
Me too. I can't get used to the surge when I ease off the pedal stroke. The lower power modes is a little easier but still not as good as my regular bike. Maybe I can tune the surge out somehow.
that „park“ looks nice. and okay now i have to learn the wheelie :)
Yes 🙌🏻 I want to learn to do manual and wheelie too💯💯👏🏻👏🏻
Didn ´t know that Viggo Mortensen was such a good rider doing wheelies! 😂😂😂
I thought wyn was Blake Sampson dressed up lol
Drop that seat!!!!
10:20 Valid point... I'd rather see people acting wild on bikes than out stealing shit or vandalizing other peoples property.
Put on your mtb BBSHD 52v asi bac 855 3kw and fly throtle only 35mph +55 60kmh wheelies top speed 55mph 85kmh
Awesome video and thank you for sharing. 👍👍💙💙

Just remember, the ladies like a guy that can get it up and keep it up 🤣
When will this item be in stock I am trying to receive within the next couple weeks.
Wicked wyn
Just curious, what watch is Wyn wearing?
great video, but next time, cut these high pitch noises from Harry's bike like at 7:15 O_o
should I be using my front or back brake to control the wheelie? Thanks
you clearly see his front wheel is still in rotation... so rear brake using required
Rear brake. Front will be useless as front wheel is in the air
Aussie accent at it's best! It's getting bitter :D
What brand is the helmet that the host bro is wearing?? It’s so sick looking🤙🏼
Alpinestars
@@believe8263 thank you!!
where was this filmed please?
Looking at it, I think it's just East of Caerphilly, Van Road.
Amazing 🤭
🙌
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Does Wyn run his brakes backwards? His back brake is on the left?
European riders run the rear on the left.
It's also called "Moto" style here in the US because many motocrossers run it that way as well.
@@believe8263 Oh, thanks. I didn't know that.
@@al-du6lb Yeah it's kind of strange that motorcycles and bicycles are so similar but the front brake is on the opposite side. Makes it dangerous if you get confused and hit the wrong brake.
@@believe8263 It makes sense on a motorcycle, but not sure why Europeans would do this on their bikes. Or are we the strange ones?
@@al-du6lb Well they do drive on the opposite side of the road as well, so who knows.
Is he Ronnie Mac ?
Welcome to the father in heaven family Emerson and Paul hendrix ozzy
Can you please not use that horn tone to bleep out the fking? Or at least down it at least 6 dB thanks.
fuck me...electric bikes....lmao...
Worst tutorial ever. “Just get on your bike and do a wheelie”!!!
