Nic vid, I’m at the power wheelie stage, still scared to get it higher to balance point I’ve got to it a couple times but I get scared and hit the brake, just taking it slow practicing each time I ride, one thing that helped me was 1) focus on letting the bike do the work don’t jerk or pull it the MX4 has more than enough power to get it up, 2) leaning back and trusting the bike, in the start I would always lean forward as the front end came up but it would drop the bike down instantly, I’m no expert but if anyone is a beginner at this like me just some tips I learned
appreciate that! Keep at it, and another tip I forgot to include in this is looking upwards toward the horizon line rather than directly at the front wheel... makes it easier to balance, same way its easier to balance on one foot when you look ahead, rather than straight down at your foot
I've watched this a few times, today was my first practice. I'd might mention to remove side mirror if you have installed one. Very helpful video that i will reference before each practice session. Freer, you have some of the most useful and practical videos of all these type specific channels. Keep making more, i really appreciate your lessons.
@@ChristisKing0 I really appreciate that! People like you and comments like this make me want to keep making videos. Thanks for the support and best of luck with your wheelie journey. Stay safe 🤝
Solid video, I always like to watch wheelie videos even if I’ve heard the same things over and over. And reading comments. You can always learn something new and try something different to become better. I started off on grass and quickly transitioned to pavement because it’s a bit harder to keep balance on grass. Anyway my two cents would be don’t stop trying keep going. Some days are going to be bleh but others better. Every bit counts. It all adds up!
My brake hose bursted and I picked up a Shimano brake hose, and I don’t think the fitting will work with the stock brakes. Do I need SRAM fitting or a Shimano fitting or a completely different fitting?
@@averymathes3954 I don’t have much experience with these brake systems so I can’t really say, but they are standard mountain bike style brakes, I’m sure your local bike shop could get you sorted no problem. I hope you get it fixed and get back to riding soon!
Hey man whats the secret for side to side, I know you had the same issue I'm having with side to side for a little bit there. I'm thinking its more just keep my torso straight up and down and pull the handlebars left and right to keep it straight or turn, seem right?
Speed helps stay straight, less psi in rear tire helps, I run 15 psi, and I kinda use my knees to correct the weight distribution if I start to lean, and the further back you are the easier it is to stay centered. And I’ve noticed the slightest amount of wind does really affect it as well
@@cameronmcclure2452 you’ll get it. I struggled with it for awhile. Another tip I heard is to look at the horizon instead of straight at the front wheel. Easier to balance, same way it’s easier to stand on one foot when you look straight ahead instead of down at your foot
Nice job on the wheelies. Is there a reason you don't leave it on regen 4 so you don't need to be quick with the brake, and only need to modulate the throttle? I practiced wheelies for many years on pedal bicycles, dirt bikes, and street bikes. A friend of mine could pop up the front wheel of his Yamaha 650 street bike and go through the gears on the balance point. I could never do that. The only time I was able to ride a wheelie as long as I wanted was standing on the seat riding on a smooth athletic field in first gear. I think some people just lack the skill to ride on the balance point for long distances. Like myself. 😉
I can do one handed wheelies going on forever on bikes but since I got my talaria it’s so weird since I’ve never rode dirt bikes and I’m not use to throttle on my hand and when I try do a wheelie I’m just scared and I’m not letting of the throttle and I have to use the break to stop the motor cause my brain still can’t understand to let go of theottle
Wow i really have watched all of sur ronsters videos like you said😂 Did get my talaria mx4, havent really gotten to practise, but damn this tut is sometihng else, really! I have watched many tutorials to like kinda get ready but this one im feeling! Thanks for the good tips, and seeing forward to start wheeling. But one question? Could it be a easier start if you know how to wheelie on a regular bike? Thanks!
Love to hear it! I think if you can wheelie a regular bike it will help with being familiar with the balance point and how to keep a wheelie going... then will just need to translate that to the throttle and brake of the talaria... definitely dont think it would hurt... hope you enjoy it, be safe, and good luck with the wheelies! Appreciate the feedback and dont hesitate to drop any questions you have in the comments!
Yeah it’s a little Bluetooth controller for my phone so I can switch songs and control volume without getting my phone out. I think it’s linked in the description 🤙🏽
Thank you for you advices :) I am wondering which is better for me, in terms of my height - Talria vs Surron. You keep your feet on the ground (2:57), but shorter rider probably would have problem in this situation on bigger Talaria. Can you tell, how tall are you?
I always go left and right im in the balance point I can always keep it up perfect any tips I just ordered a shinko tire for the back wheel so hopefully that should help
lower psi helps, i run about 10-15... also the further back you are helps, along with looking up towards the horizon, rather than down at your fender or front wheel. kinda like how its easier to stand on one foot when you look ahead vs down at your foot
Great video, thanks as always! Do you find it easier to wheelie with the 3” riser bars? I haven’t done that upgrade yet, I’m only 5’9” and not sure I need the riser bars. Do you like them overall? I mainly ride off-road single track on my talaria, so wondering about how you like the risers for off road dirt riding. Thanks!
I like them a lot! They make the posture a lot more comfortable on the bike and do make wheelies a little easier with more leverage to pull up. Overall I like them a lot. You can check out my recent Amazon mods video to see the install/review. Thanks for the support! 🤙🏽🤝
@@sk.joeeee yeah you just gotta be easy with the throttle, no jerky inputs, also, I had a first batch mx4 and the regen was much weaker than the later models
@@MattPak-xk4es rider preference really. Regen is nice cause you don’t have to use the brakes as much, but for people that like to coast in balance point and do no handers and stuff, you can’t really do that with regen on
I talk about it in the video. If you’re meaning what setting 1-4. I’d start on 4 and work your way down when you get more comfortable. I also have one of the first gen mx4s and the regen is a lot weaker than newer models
@@ws6transam18 I’ve seen people same size in the fb groups saying they don’t have an issue. Riser bars help a lot too. But I understand, be nice to sit on one or see it in person first.
solid tutorial! I was expecting Professor Freer to show up with the whiteboard but it was a field trip instead 👍
😂😂😂 thanks for watching bro!

Hey Freer can you PLEASE help me. I’ve been trying to get my bike going for the last 3 days I just have a simple question about my brake hose.

Is this all done in eco or sport mode
Sport, eco doesn’t have the torque to lift the front wheel
Well now I gotta learn..

It just makes it easier to coast and not have to constantly either be on the gas or throttle. I used to leave it on 4 but I think I like 1 better now.
Do you bring the wheel up just w/ throttle or do you pull it up with your body plus throttle?
I explain it towards the end of the video, but it’s both. Fully extended arms, lean back and pull back at the same time you give it throttle
@@freerfixedit Thanks man. I'm gonna practice for an hour today... hopefully I make some progress.
@@pewpewbbqs hope it goes well! Be safe 🫡

just takes practice and getting comfortable... muscle memory, youll get it... these bikes are also super touchy with all the torque they have
I know how to wheelie, but this video is a very good tutorial for beginners, will definitely show to my noob friend, keep up the good work)

had my MX4 for a week or two, im gonna try to learn wheelies soon lol kinda scared. good vid man 🫶🏻
Appreciate that! Best of luck! Stay safe!
How did it go?
Yo Freer, what are those buttons on the left side of your handle bar? Control your headphones or something?
Yeah it’s a little Bluetooth controller for my phone so I can switch songs and control volume without getting my phone out. I think it’s linked in the description 🤙🏽
Oh sick, does it work with AirPods?
@@peaklighting6420 yeah that’s what I use
love your videos man, i have a problem it's not been up to a month i got the talaria and today, it started breaking so hard when I let go of throttle.
Check your regen braking level. Level 4 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Control it with the up and down arrows on the display
you are the best man, the issue is my display is different from the usual ones@@freerfixedit
Thank you for you advices :)

How long did it take you to learn how to properly do it
A couple weeks, but I’ve been racing dirt bikes my whole life
do you do this with eco mode or sport mode?
Sport
what sprocket size are you running on the 19" wheels? I found out the gearing is very different on the MX4 compared to the Surron LBX.
Stock is 44, ran that for a long time and just recently switched to a 52
how do i pop the front wheel up if i am a light rider. i weigh 120lbs
Hard accelerate you pull handle bars like up and the wheel will pop
should i have the bike in eco mode or sport mode i have a talairia sting mx4 but have warp 9 rims 21/18 54 tooth sprocket
Sport with the brown wire cut. Eco is too weak
can you get it to the balance point without braking sometimes?
Yeah you can kind of just coast in it. Just if you get too far back to where you’re going to loop, that’s where the brake comes in
how do you lift the bike up
Hello. how much costs this bike and where did you get it?
$4300 Lunacycle.com
What is the best stock bike from the get go to learn a Wheelie? Talaria, Surron or Ebike pro? Please help me..
Well there’s different modes so any bike really and learn on eco mode
Hey I have the same bike do u have to wheelie on sport
Yeah this is sport mode with the brown wire cut. Eco is too weak
Can you find balance point in re gen 4?
yeah, just when you let off the throttle its going to drop quicker than if you were in a lower regen level
@@freerfixedit yeah because evrey time i try and let off the throttle to find balance point it just drops straight down but is it actually possible?
@@sk.joeeee yeah you just gotta be easy with the throttle, no jerky inputs, also, I had a first batch mx4 and the regen was much weaker than the later models
my back brake is broken for mine 😐
@@ddiego.702 what happened? Did the line break? You can get replacements off Amazon or Alibaba for pretty cheap
@@freerfixedit not sure 😭 i bought it off my friend n he messed it up
Do people wheelie and still use the regen when they are more advanced? or is it recommended to use the brake instead?
@@MattPak-xk4es rider preference really. Regen is nice cause you don’t have to use the brakes as much, but for people that like to coast in balance point and do no handers and stuff, you can’t really do that with regen on
@@freerfixeditoh that makes sense. Thank you for the quick reply. very informative video, channel deserves a bigger audience
@@MattPak-xk4es Really appreciate your support and the kind words! If you ever need anything, dont hesitate to drop a comment!
Good tutorial 👌 but i think im to old and inexperienced to learn 😢. Getting old sucks
That it does! But never too old to try!
what is your regen break percentage?
I talk about it in the video. If you’re meaning what setting 1-4. I’d start on 4 and work your way down when you get more comfortable. I also have one of the first gen mx4s and the regen is a lot weaker than newer models
Should I do it on sport or eco?
Sport, eco doesn’t have enough power for me to lift the wheel
I can’t pop up the bike tho
how fast are you going?
Do I need to have it on sport mode or eco?
Sport. Eco is too weak to wheelie
Do u leave it on eco or sport mode?
Sport, the eco mode on mine is too weak to wheelie
Nice Explanation man!
Appreciate it! 🤝
@FreerFixediT How tall are you?
6 ft
Thanks, I'm 6'3" 200 lbs and a little concerned about the size.
@@ws6transam18 I’ve seen people same size in the fb groups saying they don’t have an issue. Riser bars help a lot too. But I understand, be nice to sit on one or see it in person first.
I can power wheelie but never ride one get too scared I’m gonna land on my back
It is a scary feeling, just gotta cover that rear brake
Tore my acl doing this 😢
Dang sorry to hear that
Bro I just fricken broke the back of my talaria
😢 dang that ain’t good. Just the fender or worse?
Just the fender haha
bro my regen broke
so you dont have any regen anymore?
