Performing wheelies is not everyone’s cup of cake, even though they look freakin cool. It takes a lot of practice, swollen muscles, broken bones, and truckloads of patience to get the act together. It’s a ballet of striking the right balance and precise power delivery that gets tougher with powerful machines, or ones that weigh a whole lot.
If you always thought of impressing the crowd with your wheelie skills, but never dared to go through the tough part of perfecting the skill, this mini electric bike is for you. With the push of a button, the two-wheeler automatically positions itself in a wheelie stance without any skillful input from the rider. Called the Wheelie Fun Bike V1, the modular electric pit ride raises to a preset angle and maintains that position.
Designer: Wheelie Fun Bike
The bike created for urban junkies and the younger generation is the perfect way to enjoy the thrill of a wheelie without actually putting in any effort. This is one of the modes of the bike, which they call Push to Wheelie, wherein you press a button on the handlebar and the bike does the rest. Leaning forward increases the speed while leaning back reduces the speed of the bike. While doing all this, the onboard sensors ensure the two-wheeler stays where it is meant to without flipping or tipping over.
The other, more advanced mode is the Digital Wheelie Bar. This is tailored for users who want a semi-automatic wheelie experience to tame their skills. The mode is ideal for riders who have started their wheelie journey. To lift the wheels, one has to push the throttle, and the electronic stabilization keeps the bike balanced. For better testing of your skills, the anti-loop feature helps prevent any abrupt rotation. The saddle of the bike is designed to support the rider’s body when the wheelie mode is on.
For motorheads who like to tune things, there is a companion app where you can control the bike’s systems. It is very easy to tune the behaviour of the throttle, brakes, wheelie angle, sensitivity of the anti-loop, and other parameters defining the riding physics. Other than that, the app has a dashboard where live data, speed, power levels and crucial alerts can be tracked. The rider can adjust modes of the two-wheeler to get the desired power delivery, range and comfort level while riding. To make things interesting, the app comes with connected social features that help you track your performance against your friends. Things like the longest wheelie performed, the top speed achieved while in a semi-autonomous wheelie mode, and more.
The buck doesn’t stop there, as the EV has a modular design for easy upgradability. You can change or replace parts like lights, batteries, or the seating without much fuss. On the technical front, the bike has a range of around 30 miles, which can be extended with an optional battery pack. Just for the record, the wheelie button performance can be done at a top speed of over 35 miles per hour, which is impressive. The machine can deliver a peak power of 5,000 watts courtesy of a six-inch high-torque hub motor. The Wheelie Fun Bike V1 is slated for shipping in January 2026, with no word yet on the pricing or the pre-order window.
