As a car guy, I am obviously biased towards automobiles, but I do appreciate the skill of doing wheelies and stoppies on motorbikes. In case you don’t know, one is when you lift your front tire in the air with throttle, while the other refers to lifting the rear via braking.
Stoppies are notoriously difficult to master, and probably more dangerous for beginners to attempt as the bike can fall on top of the rider, whereas during a wheelie you fall off the bike… To that end we find this strange contraption very smart, as it allows novice riders to raise that rear tire in the air without fear of crashing.
There’s nothing fancy about it whatsoever, basically being a frame built out of steel tubes, but it works really well. The rear of the bike is allowed to go up to a certain level, then it’s forced back down when hitting the frame.
Clever stuff; check it out in action in the video below!
