I'd love to be watching the wheelie on the one time that the box doesn't work, it would be comical.

Do these things really work? I heard that wheelie schools use them on there bikes..

[GearboxGeezer]

Depends which school you go to I surpose. But do they work, Or are they to slow, Or what.

If you want to not flip wheelies when you're first starting out, you've already got a built in anti flip device.

When you get to a point no where near the balance point your mind says 'oh shit' and shuts the throttle off; at which point the bike comes down again .

It's when you get more confident at keeping the bike that there can be problems.

I can't imagine it working without plenty of problems. Waste of money and potentially dangerous.

wheelie schools normally use the ones that have the large wand that strikes the floor, the one stated in the advert.

No mention that if the angle is set at an angle way below balance point, the rotational momentum of the bike could still easily flip it, especially on a bike with low compression braking, or if the clutch is pulled in panic.

my guess would be that its simply a damped pendulum inside with a rotating contact set by that external slider. it might connect in series with the kill switch. What he fails to mention in the blurb is how it needs to be calibrated differently for every bike, setting it parallel to the road wont work because a trail bike doesnt need to rotate much to tip back compared to a sports bike or a cruiser. calibration would involve finding the point of no return for your bike.............. now i wonder why he doesnt mention that!

Isn't this like fitting stabalisers to help your corner?

[Simple]

Had a similar thing on the wheelie school bikes I used.

one was a 50% power cut off the other 100%
the 50% cut off was lower than the 100% which enabled you to wheely with confidence (I was pretty confident anyway as it wasn't my bike)

I hit the 100% one and it slammed me back down to hard I hit the tank with some force, if I was a boy I would lamost certainly now be talking with a higher pitch than before.

Probably better to just get a shitter of a bike cheap and play with it

If it was easy to work out the angle of the balance point for my bike i would give it a go
