Motorcycle wheelie Wheelie at a tractor pull Wheelie at a drag race Manual on a BMX bike. A wheelie, or wheelstand, [1] is a vehicle maneuver in vehicle acrobatics in which the front wheel or wheels come off the ground due to sufficient torque being applied to the rear wheel or wheels, [2] or rider motion relative to the vehicle.
Motorcycle stunt riding is a motorsport which involves stunts known as wheelies, stoppies, acrobatics, burnout, drifting, and jumping. Motorcycles are sometimes modified to do multiple tricks (handbreak, subcage, crashcage, stopper, etc.).
Similarly, powerful motorcycles can generate enough torque at the rear wheel to lift the front wheel off the ground in a maneuver called a wheelie. A line similar to the one described above to analyze braking performance can be drawn from the rear wheel contact patch to predict if a wheelie is possible given the available friction, the center ...
Doug would ride motorcycles in his free time, mostly by abandoned railroad terminal grounds near his house. He soon became a talented motocross racer. Later, he began working as a mechanic at a local motorcycle shop, Red Bud Cycle. Sometimes after working on a motorcycle, he would take it for a quick "test drive" by doing wheelies on it.
The stoppie is a motorcycle and bicycle trick in which the back wheel is lifted by abruptly applying the front brake, then, by carefully reducing the brake pressure, the bike is ridden for a short distance on the front wheel. It is also called an endo, [1] a nose manual, [2] or less commonly, a front wheelie.

Group motorcycles rides, when done properly, work hard to avoid chaos. I’m not a motorcycle rider, so skill-wise what I know is second-hand information from the experts that actually ride.
A motorcycle (motorbike, bike, or, if three-wheeled, a trike) is a two or three-wheeled motor vehicle steered by a handlebar from a saddle-style seat. [1] [2] [3] Motorcycle designs vary greatly to suit a range of different purposes: long-distance travel, commuting, cruising, sport (including racing), and off-road riding.
