The Wheelie Fun Bike V1 is a small-form-factor electric stunt bike featuring a high-voltage 72V powertrain and a 6-inch high-torque hub motor capable of exceeding 5,000W of peak power. Engineered in Sacramento, California, the bike is built on a custom modular tube frame with front and rear suspension and includes a custom angled seat designed to support riders during stunt maneuvers. It provides a top speed of over 35 mph and an estimated range of 30+ miles using its standard 10Ah battery, with an optional 20Ah battery available to extend performance. A central feature of the V1 is its integrated stunt technology, which includes "Push To Wheelie" and "Digital Wheelie Bar" modes for automated or assisted wheelie maneuvers, alongside configurable "Wheel Lift Resistance" to help keep the front tire grounded during launches. Braking is handled by a front disc brake paired with an adjustable rear regenerative system, while performance parameters—including throttle response, braking strength, and wheelie angles—are managed through the official WFB smartphone application. $299 deposit required.
The Freshly Charged Take

The Wheelie Fun Bike V1 is the world's first self-wheelying mini bike — a 72V electric mini bike built by The Float Life around a dedicated self-balancing wheelie system that does exactly what the name promises. Press and hold the wheelie button, the front wheel lifts, and the bike's self-balancing technology holds you at a controlled angle indefinitely, with a smooth, gradual let-down when you release — no looping out, no sudden drops, no consequence for getting the balance point wrong. Claiming 30+ mph and 30+ miles of range (with real-world testing confirming 31 mph sustained uphill), the bike is legitimately capable as a mini e-bike on its own merits, but the headline is the riding experience: a flow-state, weight-shifting, hip-controlled skill that feels somewhere between an electric unicycle and a dirt bike wheelie, and that total beginners can meaningfully progress on within a single session. It's not the most practical thing we've ever tested — it's not trying to be — but as a pure experience machine that makes one of riding culture's most aspirational skills genuinely accessible, the Wheelie Fun Bike V1 is one of the most uniquely fun products to come through the Freshly Charged garage.
