Wheelie Machines for E-Bikes (Surron & Talaria)

Electric bikes like the Surron and Talaria have exploded in popularity — and they're some of the best machines to learn wheelies on. Here's why, and how the wheelie machine adapts to them.

Why e-bikes are great for learning

Electric bikes deliver instant, predictable torque with no clutch and no gears to manage. That means one less thing to think about while you learn the balance point. They're also quiet, so you can train indoors or after dark without upsetting the neighbours.

Setting the machine up for an e-bike

The adjustable bike mount and back roller handle e-bikes the same way they handle a pit bike — you simply dial in the wheelbase and axle settings. Surrons and Talarias sit perfectly in the rig, and their lighter weight makes setup quick. The same wheelie machine plans that fit a Harley fit your e-bike.

No clutch, instant torque, near-silent — e-bikes might be the fastest way to learn a controlled wheelie.

Throttle control is everything

Because the power is instant, smooth throttle inputs matter even more. Practise feathering the throttle and keep covering the rear brake — on an e-bike the brake is your instant reset. Avoid the jerky inputs that cause most beginner mistakes.

Build one that fits your e-bike

Whether you ride a Surron, Talaria, or a full-size dirt bike, the same build plans adapt to your setup. See more real builds in our store.
