Wheelies

Is it possible to wheelie a Buddy 125? I'm pretty sure I've heard of the Rattler being yanked up to one wheel, but I don't know if my little Buddy has the Chutzpah.

**I don't want to try it an end up on my back with Velveeta on top of me. So this thread is for the more skilled among us.**

It needs to encouraged – then the secondary fender scraps.

Not the mud flap? But the fender in the rear?

Thanks,

I don't know about 125's, but my St Tropez will wheelie. It won't happen accidentally, but I can her into a wheelie without too much difficulty.

i have gotten my little guy up on his back legs before, i have to kind of sit up, while moving around 5-7 mph, then park my ass towards the back of the seat right after i twist pretty hard on the accelerator, he will pop right up... I havent done an extended wheelie yet... there is a video on youtube of some guy doing crazy wheelies on a buddy... ill see if i can locate.

It is possible, though you will likely hit the rear fender.

When the Buddy first came out, there were a few people whose first act was to go out and try a wheelie. Their second act was to peel themselves off the pavement.

Point taken.

Brilliant!

Lets tell everyone how to do a wheelie on a Buddy!

As ridiculous as this may sound, some here will give the ridiculous a try. Once you do, don't forget to post your experiences here.

*Edit* Eric has beat me to it...
