The Float Life Company has introduced the Wheelie Fun Bike (WFB), the world's first electric bike capable of doing a wheelie on its own. Just press a button, and the built-in stabilization system will balance the bike without any effort from the driver.
The WFB is equipped with a 5,000-watt motor, allowing it to accelerate to 56 km/h. A 10 Ah battery with a voltage of 72 V provides a range of up to 48 km. In the future, the manufacturer promises an option with a 20 Ah battery, which will double the travel range. A special application allows you to track speed, charge, distance and even adjust the behavior of the gas and brakes.
The WFB has no pedals, turn signals or headlights, so it cannot be registered as a vehicle. It is positioned as a pit bike for stunts. The WFB offers two wheelie modes: Push to Wheelie, where the rider simply presses a button to lift the bike onto its rear wheel, and Digital Wheelie Bar, which allows the trick to be performed manually, but with automatic protection against excessive backward lean.
Stabilization is provided by an inertial measurement unit, similar to those used in OneWheel balance boards. The WFB is built on a custom frame and features a full suspension system, a front disc brake and regenerative braking at the rear.
