Affordably Priced Electric Pitbike Features a Dedicated Wheelie Control Button
The Wheelie Fun Bike V1, a groundbreaking electric pitbike, is set to automate the wheelie stunt for riders of all skill levels. Developed by The Float Life, a company known for creating aftermarket OneWheel accessories since 2017, this innovative bike promises to make wheelies accessible and safe [1].
The Wheelie Fun Bike V1 comes equipped with two dedicated wheelie modes: "Push To Wheelie" and "Digital Wheelie Bar". In the former, a red button on the right handlebar, when held down, locks the bike into a preset wheelie angle [2]. The latter allows riders to maintain traditional control while the bike's inertial measurement unit (IMU) prevents it from looping backward [1].
The bike's control system utilizes an IMU and other sensors to monitor the bike's orientation and balance in real-time. This data is used to adjust the throttle and brake, helping to raise the front wheel and stabilize the wheelie stance [1]. Riders can fine-tune settings like wheelie angle and anti-looping sensitivity via a companion app, which also offers live ride data, controls power modes, and social features [1][2].
Key features of the Wheelie Fun Bike V1 include speeds over 35 mph, a range of 30+ miles on a 72V, 10Ah battery (with an optional extended battery available), a modular design for customization, an angled banana-style seat for support during stunts, and a companion app for live telemetry, ride mode adjustment, and tuning wheelie-related settings [2].
The bike is also capable of cruising on stairs and off-road, thanks to its 6-inch high-torque rear hub motor and full suspension [2]. Front disc brakes ensure stopping power, while an adjustable regenerative rear brake helps recharge the battery during deceleration [2].
The Wheelie Fun Bike V1's custom tube frame design channels vintage pit bike aesthetics, and the bike features a 6-inch high-torque rear hub motor for strong acceleration [2]. The founder of The Float Life, Jeff McCosker, is renowned for inventing the float plate that enabled OneWheel nose slides and helped birth the freestyle OneWheel scene [1].
Pre-orders for the Wheelie Fun Bike V1 are open now, with early bird pricing at $2,995 and regular pricing at $3,499 [2]. An optional 20Ah battery will double the range when it becomes available. For those interested in tracking their wheelie distances, the companion app offers real-time dashboard features, riding mode optimization, custom tuning, and future updates with leaderboards [2].
