WHEELIE TUTORIAL // SURRON & SEGWAY X260 // How To Wheelie In 10 Minutes For Beginners!

[Music] hello and welcome this is my tutorial video on how to wheelie a saron x or a segway x 260. i'm going to break it down into several categories being before you ride location pre-pop pop and willy so before you ride before you ride you're gonna want a helmet i use a fox b1 and i love it you're gonna need gloves you're gonna be trying it for a couple hours and you will get blisters without gloves you're gonna want riser bars these are deity 3-inch riser bars the higher bar positioning really makes it easier to wheelie and that makes it more comfortable as well your brakes are going to be really important you're going to want to make sure that they're all tuned up i would recommend replacing the stock brake pads i use shimano hc-30s it's up to you to take your brake sensors out i would recommend when you're learning to keep the brake sensors in you're going to be better off with the brakes overriding the engine any day but once you get a little more comfortable go ahead take the brake sensors out and see if you can play with the brake and accelerate or balance a little bit more i'd recommend new pegs i have a link to these in my top 10 mods video i also recommend moving them up to the furthest forward position makes a little more comfortable to wheelie for your suspension i would set the front shocks to a high rebound level that way you can really get some assistance in the pop the engine and controller on this bike as well as the battery are stock and i'm running 17 inch super motors on the front and rear with a 42 tooth rear sprocket which has the same gear ratio as the stock bike with 19 inch rims and a 48 tooth sprocket you can see all the mods i've made to this bike in my top 10 mods video and there's links to everything below and the last thing you need before learning how to wheelie is a good attitude and that's all we need baby hey hell yeah nobody learns how to wheelie in a day it will take time you'll probably fall you'll probably scratch the bike but that's all part of it just got to keep a good attitude so location where do you want to learn your first wheelie i would recommend starting in a grassy field where the grass is cut low and the earth is relatively flat definitely only do that if you have off-road tires if you do it with the slicks you'll slide out and it's no good a slight incline makes wheeling easier you don't have to go as far back make sure there's no cars around also make sure you're not too far from home just in case you hurt yourself it'd be great not to be super far away it also wouldn't hurt to have a buddy so now you're on the bike okay you're straight vibing as far as where you sit on the seat i prefer sitting up forward you can get the balance point further back and i love that feeling but if you're starting off it wouldn't hurt moving further back in the seat you'll see you don't need to bring the wheel up as high to hit the balance point pop it out of granny mode go right into sport mode get to about 10 miles an hour but not over 15 at that point there isn't quite enough torque to really get the bike up you also don't want to be going super slow that's when the bike starts leaning side to side now before you even start thinking about popping you need to run this through your head okay get it through your skull just repeat in your head rear brake rear brake rear brake rear brake envision a line going from your brain down your arm right to that rear brake you want to just have that in the back of your head the whole time because your rear brake is your lifeline i just keep my index finger on the brake it's all you need you want to always be aware that you have that finger on the break and then if anything goes wrong you're using that make it a habit that when you get on the bike you get a finger on that rear brake because sometimes you might get excited and you want to go pop a wheelie and you forgot to put that finger on the brake and you've got no lifeline [Music] now for the pop all right we're getting serious so you're cruising you followed my pre-pop tips you want to keep your head up looking at the horizon or just below the horizon it's natural to start looking at the handlebars but that totally throws off your balance grab a little bit of the throttle there is some slack so you want to sort of fill that slack you're going to want to lean forward your chest up against the bars at the same time you'll be pressing down on the shock and then you'll want to throw your weight back and i want to stress the word back you might think you want to pull up you really want to just pull your weight back because once you do that and you pull the throttle the bike does the rest when you pull back hit the throttle as hard as you can you'll feel the front wheel come up and you've done the pop so you lean into the bar pushing down on the shocks then you throw your weight back hit the throttle all at the same time this should all be sort of one fluid motion like so now you've popped you only have one wheel on the ground you are wheeling what do you do now you're going to want to keep your back relatively perpendicular to the bike it's going to feel natural to lean forward into the handlebars but you're going to drop that front wheel and you won't get any wheelie first many times you try to pop you only get the wheel about halfway up and you'll try to keep it up by slamming the throttle that's called a power wheelie and i would really advise against that what you want to focus on is actually not speed but how high you're getting the wheel ideally you're getting the wheel as high as possible with the least amount of throttle the first many times you try this you're definitely gonna power wheelie it's just natural i did it but it's still good practice getting used to the motion getting used to having that front wheel off the ground but after some practice you'll get past those power wheelies and you'll get up to the point where you don't need any more throttle to keep the front wheel up just like when you're in class and you're leaning back in your chair not quite at the balance point yet all right but when i get a little further back i don't really need to push off the ground much harder i'm kind of coasting but if i go past the balance point this happens so what you do in the wheelie is once you get to that point where if you push any further you'll fall back just want to tap the brake and it comes back down so that's where the brake comes in once you've got the wheel high enough that you don't need throttle and you know that if you hit the throttle anymore you'll fall back you hit that brake when you're first learning and you get to that point where you need to use the brake the bike's going to slam down really hard it's going to hurt your wrist you're going to feel like you're doing something bad to the bike but after some practice you'll learn to modulate the brake and instead of hitting the brake and having the bike slam down you hit the brake and you sort of return back to your balance point a wheelie is really just the dance between the throttle and the brake if you've got the wheel coming down you want to pull hit the throttle if you've got the wheel coming up too high you want to hit the brake after some time on the bike you'll get a real great sense of where your balance point is for me it's about here you'll know you're in your balance point when you're hardly using any throttle or brake just sort of tapping on either of them you'll see in a lot of my wheelies that when i'm hitting the throttle i don't maintain a consistent amount i sort of and you'll see that's a nice way to do it so here are three quick tips to end the tutorial number one when you're first learning how to pop and you get your wheel past a certain point you're totally going to freak out everything you've watched in this video is going to go out the window and you're going to want to drop your legs do not drop your legs the only time i ever got hurt doing a wheelie was when i was learning and i dropped my legs instead of hitting the brake that's why before you wheelie always tell yourself rear brake rear brake envision a line going to your rear brake that way when you get stressed during a wheelie instead of dropping your legs you hit the brake which is much more productive brings the bike down number two if you aren't wheeling very fast maybe around 15 to 20 miles an hour you might feel the bike leaning a little bit from side to side i compensate for this by bringing my knee out from the chair this will become a natural instinct over time and number three every wheelie has to come to an end so when you're dropping that front wheel always remember to realign the handlebars you do not want to be coming down with the handlebars at an angle so as a final summary this is how it goes you're going to want to make sure you got everything on your bike that makes you comfortable you're going to want to make sure you're in the right location you want to make sure it's out of granny mode you're going to cruise at about 10 miles an hour and in one fluid motion you're going to lean forward with your chest against the bars push down on the shocks and with a little bit of your legs as well throw your weight back not up the back while you hit the throttle as you feel the wheel come up let off the throttle and focus on the brake always repeat to yourself before the wheelie rear brake rear brake rear brake then keep the front wheel up with the balance between the rear brake and the gas and come down with the front wheel nice and straight all right so i hope you found that helpful if you like this go ahead and hit the like and subscribe button and go ahead and follow my
