How To Wheelie An E MTB | E Mountain Bike Skills

The key points of wheelieing an E MTB are the same as a normal mountain bike. Although, there are a few specifics that will help you deal with the differences, then utilise the extra power you have to make the most of your riding.

Pulling off a great wheelie is something that can put a smile on anyone’s face. While it’s great fun, it can also be really useful out on the trails, Neil shows you how in this EMBN how to video.

As a kid, I spent most of the ride on the back wheel. I'm now 53 & I'm gonna practice doing some wheelies again. Of course where no one can see me 👀😉😜
Thanks for the advice 👍👍

What Gear and what power Mode do you recommend for a Bosch EMTB ( CX Performance Engine and 11 gears)?

I have a diy 1000w hub drive its easy to get on to the back wheel its a matter of keeping it there, ive disconnected my rear brake sensor so the power doesn't shut off when i apply the brake. But the power delivery is so different compare to a motorbike

Just bought ebike couple days ago, i have no problem wheeling or manual with normal bike, but ebike weight 2times my normal bike. Weight and long chainstay makes it so hard.

Hey guys hope you all have a great weekend, Yeah Neil thanks for your tips ya big show off 👍👍👍 .

Another issue I am having that is specific to the emtb: It is a Shimano system, so there is a clutch. If I coast up to the point where I want to start the wheelie, there is a delay while the clutch engages. That is screwing up my timing bigtime.

Good video Neil and would love to try a E-bike out!!

Hello from Murcia-Spain, could you tell me what is the ideal pressure for 27.5 plus wheels? I love your videos, great work. I have a Specialized Levo Hardtail Tube 2018 and I weigh 80 kilos. Thanks

The coaster one feels so smooth. Every downhill coastering as long as i can :D

[yourstruly]

Your video is great. I believe a big factor on doing wheelies is also having your pas levels (pas-1) set properly. Can you please tell me what numbers you set on your pas level 1 . Thx.

[marcosgonzalez]

Buenos dias, porque no se plantean traducir los videos a otros idiomas como el español, por ejemplo. Gracias. Me encanta ver vuestros videos.

Dude top wheelies awesome, can’t wait for warmer weather to try it out.

[kdoust]

I tried many times on a full suspension bike and couldn't do, until I switched to the lock out on the rear suspension, and suddenly the front came up easily.

Been trying on my trance e+ SX lately, I only try it on eco mode (1/5), still way too hard, the motor wants to loop it out as soon as you get to the balance point, maybe I need to ride the back brakes to counter it - seems almost more doable without the motor on, harder to get up, easier to keep up.

I notice a lot of these are mid drive. Can you still wheelie with a rear hub or do they not produce enough torque?
