Wheelie Bar?

[acanz]

Anyone know if theres a place to buy a wheelie bar for a Ruckus? I think it would be good because if you try to wheelie it and go too far back (accidentally or purposefully) that would drag on the ground and the frame wouldnt...

The frame doesn't touch the ground when doing a wheelie. The only thing that I have scrape it the rear fender. Not anymore though since I took them off! It looks much cooler and I can ride wheelies at much more extreme angles. Luckily, I've never *yet* (knock on wood) dropped it backwards. I can ride a wheelie for nearly a half block and sometimes more. The CDI box made the throttle much more responsive and gave the bike more pep. It helps me keep the front end up in the air!

If you really want a wheelie bar, it wouldn't be too hard to make! Some tubing, brackets to bolt to frame, and 2 skate wheels. ;D

Hey Scribble

Any chance of getting that 1/2 block wheelie on video, or even a photo ?

It's either me or my scoot but I couldn't get a wheelie out of my Ruckus.

Thanks for the info Scribble.

The wheelie bar Im talking about is different though, its called a 12 Bar. Heres what one looks like - www.thestuntfactory.com/images/products/400_large_image.jpg

I dont know if a Ruckus would need one but it would look cool!

I'll sure try to get some pics next time a friend is over!

I won't believe it until I see it in full motion glory.

If I had a video camera!

Hell, I might take my laptop outside and record with the webcam.

All your weight has to be on the back of the bike.

It must be me but a guy at work pops wheelies with my ruckus and i can not, the only time i did it, is when i took the seat and frame so i could test an idea from ruckass, but the shock keep bottoming out so it was not that safe.
