In vehicle acrobatics, a wheelie is a vehicle maneuver in which the front wheel or wheels come off the ground due to extreme torque being applied to the rear wheel or wheels.
Wheelies are usually associated with bicycles and motorcycles, but can be done with other vehicles such as cars, especially in drag racing and tractor pulling.
HOW TO DO A WHEELIE ?
The way I will tell you how to do a wheelie and you being able to just go out and do it, and get it right after a while will all depend on how good you are at knowing and feeling what you can do with your bike.
If you ride an R1 CBR 900 – 1200 Bandit etc, These types of bikes are the easiest of all for wheelies because they will wheelie off the throttle in first gear without trying hard at all.

“Generally speaking, this is one of the most time-consuming and difficult moves out there,” says Hans.
“Some guys, even in the World Cup race, cannot ride a good wheelie But you’ll see kids riding them because they put the time into it.”
Adjust your seat to a low position You’ll ride the wheelie sitting down,and seat position will help keep your center of gravity and balance.
Put the bike into a medium or low gear and begin at rolling speed.
Crouch your upper body so your weight is over the handlebars.
Turn the cranks to the 11:00 position.
Pedal down and pull up on the handlebars simultaneously.
Immediately lean back as if you were in a rocking chair and continue pedaling. You need to trust your rear brake, otherwise you’ll flip over backward.
Outstretch your arms and sit on the tip of the seat.
Keep one finger on the rear brake while the others firmly hold the grip.
Feather the brake continually this helps to control speed and can prevent you from falling on your butt.
Relax The front tire should be pretty high in the air.
Begin controlling the two balances: vertical and sideways.
Adjust the vertical balance with the rear brake (if leaning too far back) or by pedaling (if your front wheel begins to drop).
Fight the sideways balance early; it’s impossible to recover if you wait too long.
Control the sideways balance by sticking out a knee or foot, or by turning the handlebars in the opposite direction (Just make sure the handlebars are straight before you come down).
Let the front wheel drop to come out of the move.
