How to Wheelie a Pit Bike

Pit bikes started out as 50 cc dirt bikes that racers used to get around the pit area of racetracks. As their popularity grew people started to beef up the engines, change out the handlebars to fit larger riders, and install performance suspension. Pit bike races have become the new extreme sport. There are two types of pit bikes sold today. One type has an automatic clutch and the other has a manual clutch.
