How to pull wheelies with your scooter.

Me (The Stig) and a friend of mine (The Odd) was bored so we made this how to-video. This is supposed to learn you guys how to pull wheelies with your useless scooters haha.

Tell me what you think about this video and what I should have done better. And don't try this at home, do it on the streets with lots of cars and small children to crash into.

The sound disappeared somehow so I just used some random music instead.

Music by: SlipKnoT and Disturbed.

100% oringinal with leovince :DDD wtf?

@ooffe

As stated earlier (several times) it is a replacement exhaus, yes, but it is still road legal, TÙV certification comes along with the exhaust. That means that you get no more horsepower from this LeoVince than the original leaking exhaust pipe. That would still make the scooter "original".

is this in norway?

@easyb0t

Ja.

erm... how is it even possible to do a wheelie. I just dont understand the physics behind LIFTING A 100KG BIKE OFF THE FRONT! i have a vespa and I wont even try

[McLidl]

@happynuts

First off, the bike weights only about 60kg. That makes a huge difference when it comes to wheelies and wheelie control. Have you heard of "center of gravity"? That is what you need to move in order to pop wheelies. Your weight must be high up and far back to make the bike "flip".

These scooters are very heavy in the rear, that makes a big difference when you are doing wheelies. Then you can easily move the total "C.O.G." far enough back to make the bike do wheelies easily.

Stig is 10 times better then you

[XxlukeyyxX]

how do you do that? i have a gilera runner 125cc 4 stroke with fuel etc its 132kg 'but' its really powerfull i can lift it about couple of inches off but im scared then dont rev it :( but would it still lift? it does if you leave it tiking over put your feet on florr then lift it goes straight up 

[UniversalTruths]

Is it 125cc or more?

[iNsaJulienb12]

i pull like a bodybuilder but i can't lift it?

@thedjnike96 for better wheelies on scooters you need at least small tuning like harder clutch springs and you will do better wheelies clutch springs cost around 10 euro

[bomzulietusrullee]

@McLidl Do you use brakes sometimes when you do the wheelie ? And im afraid to try because i think i will fall backwards :S. I can only do the some kind of wheelie that you did on the start of the video when it says that was on purpose... :D. Last question: Do your scooter have a speed-limiter thingy ? if it doesn't how did you take it out ?

[MathiasGylling]

I tryed with mine scooter but its too heavy (112kg) ;/

[OMG99ranged]

hit the mute!

[HalvardBK]

[SuperDaan95]
