The Wheelie Machine Experience
What is the experience?
Max Up Wheelie Machine Experience
Learn the Art of the Balance Point
​The Max Up Wheelie Machine Experience is an exhilarating and safe way to master the skill of performing a controlled motorcycle wheelie. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or refining your balance and throttle control, this is the ultimate balance point practice experience.
​Now available in 15, 30, 45 or 60-minute sessions, you can choose the perfect length of time to learn, practice, and perfect your wheelie skills.
​Experience the thrill at our Doncaster Wheelie School, at events across the UK, or even at private events where we can bring the wheelie machine to you.
If you are booking a private event or for an event day, we can tailor the ride time to you.
(usually around 5 minutes)
Master the Wheelie Balance Point – Safely
As the engine starts and the throttle twists, you’ll feel the back wheel spin up and the front wheel lift - that rush of power and control as you enter a perfect wheelie.
​The Max Up Wheelie Machine allows riders to safely experience that balance point - the key to holding a controlled wheelie - without the risk of flipping the bike or damaging anything.
​This isn’t just a thrill ride. It’s technical balance training that helps you understand throttle control, brake balance, and body positioning for longer, smoother wheelies. Whether you’re new to motorcycling or a confident rider, you’ll gain real skill and confidence.
Book Your Own Motorcycle on the Wheelie Machine (Doncaster Only)
At our Doncaster Wheelie School, you can either use or bike or you can now even book your own motorcycle onto the wheelie machine for balance point practice and control training.
​This option is available by advance booking only, and gives you the chance to learn how your own bike reacts as you lift, balance, and control it through the wheelie point - all in a completely safe, controlled environment.
​This is a unique opportunity for riders who want to train on their own bike without risk - ideal for improving throttle feel and confidence on your personal machine.
The Ultimate Motorcycle Wheelie Experience
As the front wheel rises and the adrenaline hits, you’ll learn to control your balance with precision - a twist of throttle here, a tap of the rear brake there. It’s a dance between rider and machine that challenges your control and coordination.
The Max Up Wheelie Machine holds the bike securely at high angles up to 75 degrees, allowing you to practice and hold that perfect balance point again and again.
With sessions from 15 to 60 minutes, you’ll get plenty of wheelie time - and considering that a great wheelie lasts just seconds, even a short session gives you loads of valuable practice.

On The Day & What To Expect?
Arrival
You arrive at your booked time slot or when the machine is available. You will sign in and complete the necessary indemnity forms and waivers.
Health and Safety Briefing
You now meet your Max Up Staff Member and they take you through the health and safety briefing of what you are about to do. Please do listen closely throughout.
Instructional Brief
You will go through learning 2 types of wheelies. This is a simple process of allowing the bike to roll at a steady speed in gear before compressing the forks and using the spring ramp to get the bike in the air, then it's over to you with the throttle and back brake.
Now it is on to the motorbike!
You will now put your instructional brief in to practice! Along with a staff member by your side, you will begin to get the bike in the air. Don't worry, the Max Up staff member will be on hand to offer tips and tricks to assist you throughout.
End of Experience
Your experience will come to a close and you will alight the bike after having any pictures you wish to have taken. You will then be able to have a picture with the 'Max Up Wheelie Machine' Trophy and spread the word!

You just turn up on the day!
Whether you’ve booked in advance or decide to turn up on the day, we’ll be ready to get you on the Max Up Wheelie Machine and into the action.
We do have limited slots per session, so early booking is always recommended — the machine is extremely popular for both wheelie training and balance point practice.
Session Options:
-
15-Minute Booking – Ideal for two people. Includes a full safety briefing and 15 minutes of experience each (one rider on the machine while the other waits). Perfect for first-timers or those looking for a fast-paced thrill and technique introduction.
-
30-Minute Booking – One person only. Includes your briefing and 30 minutes of wheelie practice. This longer session allows riders to really focus on throttle control, brake balance, and finding that perfect wheelie balance point for sustained lifts.

​
We strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment — especially at our Doncaster Wheelie School or at busy event locations across the UK.
You’ll be amazed how long 15 minutes feels on the wheelie machine! Remember, the average well-held wheelie is in the air for around 11 seconds — so even a short session gives you loads of valuable training time.
For those serious about mastering balance, 30 minutes or longer is the perfect choice to develop precision, control, and that ultimate balance point technique.
