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.
Of course, the angle of the terrain can influence all of the calculations above. All else remaining equal, the risk of pitching over the front end is reduced when riding up hill and increased when riding down hill. The possibility of performing a wheelie increases when riding up hill, [88] and is a major factor in motorcycle hillclimbing ...
The "high chair" is a wheelie with the rider's legs over the handlebars, while a "tank wheelie" is one in which rider sits on the tank with legs spread. A "frog" is a wheelie in which the rider stands on the tank, and a "seat stander" is performed with the rider standing on the motorcycle's saddle.

Doug Domokos (December 31, 1955 – November 26, 2000), nicknamed, "The Wheelie King," was an American stunt motorcyclist and former World Record holder for the World's Longest Wheelie. Early life [ edit ]
Chevrolet Camaro performing a wheelie during drag racing. A motorcyclist performing a stoppie. A Toyota MR2 leaning to the outside of a turn. Weight transfer and load transfer are two expressions used somewhat confusingly to describe two distinct effects: [1] the change in load borne by different wheels of even perfectly rigid vehicles during ...
Finally, the given expression for M seems to suggest that if a vehicle is not already in a wheelie, it can never enter one. If it is not in a wheelie, then θ = 0, sinθ = 0, and cosθ - 1 = 0, so sinθ + cosθ - 1 = 0, and M = 0. The author asserts, however, that "those who want to desirably stimulate a wheel-stand ... should make sure that ...
In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).
