Look on YouTube there is a guy who wheelies a spree for mile. I tend to agree that you can wheelie just about anything if you know how, but how much work would it take is the question. I bet if you swap out the variator weights to lighter ones you will stay in the lower gear so to speak longer and therefore be able to wheelie easier. That's my 2 cents.

ok thanks! I already weighed my current weights and they are about 8.5g.
I'll buy some 7g and 8g to get 7.5g all around so i don't lose my top end completely.
Right now i get about 45mph on flat.

Pff. Lighter weights? He could probably just remove them and keep the thing in 1st gear, right?

Wheelies on these bikes are as much about weight distribution as anything. Sit on the back of the seat, dangle legs back, and twist the throttle.

variator weights to lighter ones will help some but i wood try new heaver clutch springs as well ..it will get you closer to the power ban before it engage .. but im not in to that just a guess but i do no hafe of it is skill ... the guys from Hawaii are more in tom that then the rest of us ...

Yes i know how to wheelie a bicycle! I do feel like there is a slight lag with throttle before the scooter actually jumps, so i figured since my moped is properly tuned now then it's probably my transmission/variator clutch combination!
