practice its tough on something that small to hold it without flipping it or dropping it

It would be soo hard because the wheelbase is so short. You just have to practice and be ready to fall on your arse. When I first learned how to wheelie on a fifty it was hard as heck because the wheelbase was so short so every move mad you either move forward or back.

Once you can balence a toothpick on your finger, then you can wheelie a pocker rocket.

You use your weight mostly. For me I had tobe going like around 10mph and then yank back. If I tried any slower it would almost flip. You flip one backwords you will probably crack the body.

A easy way to ride em is put your legs behind you and use em as a wheelie bar but thats cheeting but i used to be going top speed and put my feet behind me and yank back and ride em and then ift my legs slowly off the ground and would be riding a wheelie at tops speed. :eek2: wore my boots out fast too. you can put small pegs on the back axle too and stand on em and ride wheelies. The pegs on the back make it ride wheelies easy. When i was standing on the pegs on the rear axle the front would lift from just the throttle on one of my old pocket bikes.

if i had my legs behind me like you said then when i moved them then i would get the fell for the balancing point then eventualy i will be able to do one with out my feet
