there is 2 good ways.

1- go about 10mph, let the bike rev down , Gun It! but right as the bike revs up pull backwards (back not up.) the front will pop up.
Then the hard part is to keep your balance.

2- Just pull when you take off, then try your best to keep the bike up.


If the bike is kinda weak just start off a little slower. There is some guys...

I love how the guy calling someone a dumba$s used the wrong "there" instead of "their". Sorry, but I laughed.

putt your legs out on each side of the moped. than let them dragg just a little . this way your balance is better and your more stable. after a while your balance increases so you can wheelie with your legs up on the floor board it might take a while but it really works good . ill post pics up latter

HA! Yes, spelling and grammar are awful on this board. It's a bit annoying sometimes, but I can live with it.

Nope, I teach English, and this is a part of our proofreading lessons. They're is a contraction of they are. "Their" is a possessive word, and "there" describes perspective or location.

I'm not normally a grammar *, but I couldn't help being a smart *.

Mmmm...*? They're is proper for that sentence.

"you lean back till you fall and bust your * and f*** up your scooter you dumbass *they're/they are* not made for wheelies...ride bicycle if you want to do that s***"

Their would be ok if you said something like... "Their scooters are not made for wheelies."

I was out earlier tryin to wheelie and every time I got it up I got scared and hit the brake or let off the throttle. then i just sat there and held the back brake and pulled it all the way up to see where the tipping point was and its really far back but no matter what when your actually doing it, it always feels like your gonna go right over. How the f*@! to you get over that.
