How to Wheelie a Thumper Motorcycle

Step1
Put a helmet on. Get on your Thumper motorcycle, and do a few laps of cruising.
Step2
Start out in first gear, and ride around slowly for a while. Grab your handlebars and pull on them hard. Then roll on the throttle about 25-percent. The front side of your Thumper should be up in the air at this point.
Step3
Get your Thumper to approximately a 50-degree angle. Keep on going until you tap out of first gear.
Step4
Ease off the throttle ever so slightly. Then, push your shifter to the next level of gear.
Step5
Continue riding on. You have successfully completed a wheelie on your Thumper motorcycle!

Tips & Warnings

  • It's better to shift without the clutch, so make sure you practice that.
  • You will need less throttle the steeper the angle your motorcycle is on.
  • Make sure you always wear a helmet! Be safe!
  • At first, don't practice your wheelies on the road; it's best to try them out on grass.
