Would You Want an Electric Mini Bike That Helps You Learn to Wheelie? | FRP M3 Rider Research

FRP rider research · September 2026

You see a clean wheelie and think, “I would love to do that.” Or perhaps you enjoy watching, but would rather keep both wheels on the ground.

We want to hear both answers.

As we develop the FRP M3 electric mini bike, we are exploring one idea: helping riders learn to wheelie, step by step. Before we make that a bigger part of the bike, we want to understand whether it matters to you.

Is this something you actually want to learn?

Which sounds most like you?

I want to learn, but have not tried.
I have tried and want to improve.
I can already wheelie.
I enjoy watching, but do not want to learn.
Wheelies do not interest me.

If you want to learn, what appeals to you about it? Tell us in your own words.

Tell us about the last time you thought about trying

Did you watch a tutorial, ask someone for help, practice on a bike, or look for somewhere to ride? What happened next?

If you started, where did you get stuck? If you did not, what was the main reason? If you already learned, what helped it click?

We are interested in the details of your experience, including anything that has nothing to do with the bike itself.

One idea we are exploring with M3

M3 is an electric mini bike in development. One concept pairs adjustable wheelie assistance with guidance on what to practice and how to recognize progress.

The experience we are exploring is simple: start with an exercise suited to your ability, understand what you are working on, and have a clear next step. The aim would be to help you develop your own control over time.

There are already bikes that do the wheelie for you. The Antic electric mini bike, for example, uses a gyro mode that holds the front wheel up and prevents loop-outs. An electric mini bike for wheelies can go two ways: hold it for you, or show you how to do a wheelie on an electric mini bike yourself. We want to know which one you would actually pay for.

This is a development idea we want your reaction to. We have not established its learning results, and we are not promising that learning on M3 would let you wheelie any other bike.

A look at the prototype

Here is the M3 currently taking shape. The footage gives you a look at the bike while we ask what you would want from the experience.

What help would you actually use?

Thinking about your own experience, what would make the biggest difference? You might want feedback from an instructor, clear practice exercises, adjustable assistance, somewhere to practice, or something we have not considered.

Would the M3 idea address what has held you back? Tell us what would help, what would be unnecessary, or what is still missing.

If you were choosing an electric mini bike, how much would learning support matter: a main reason to choose it, a useful extra, or no influence at all? What would matter more?

Tell us where you stand

A short reply is enough. You can copy these three prompts into your message:

My interest: Do you want to learn, improve, or just enjoy riding?
My experience: What have you tried, and what happened?
What I would use: What help would matter, and would it affect your choice of bike?

“This is not for me” is a useful answer too. Tell us what you would want from an electric mini bike instead.
