My wheelie days are WAY past. My reverse trike is way too heavy up front.
It is possible to stick both legs out but one must remember that shifts weight backwards...

A wheelie is started by making the bike off balance to the rear, so Frankie should be able to do it on his trike as long as he weighs enough to overbalance it. Although I'm not sure at his age he should be doing that kind of thing., Now if he were 90 or so, I'd say go for it! You only have a week left anyway.... ;D

My first ever ride on a motorcycle (250cc) was an 'Awesome' wheelie for a few hundred feet. All my friends were really impressed but they didn't notice how white my face was. I froze, I didn't know quite how to put the front end down even though I had done many wheelies on a regular bike. I rode all the way (about a mile) to school once on the back wheel just to see if I could, -and as a response to a wise arse comment from a friend. I had a few sphincter puckering moments making some turns and crossing streets in traffic. Especially that long hill that led to the T intersection by the lagoon...

That vid brings back some memories...we recently sold a SunL 150cc scoot that was a wheelie bike! It had the little 10" wheels and a short wheelbase, more like a 50cc frame, and was a real quick bike. All you had to do was crank the throttle wide and the front wheel would come up-didn't have to jerk it up. Always had to lean into it if I was doing a hard launch or it felt like it was going to take off out from under me. The wife sold it after I fell over on the dang thing-I was leaning a little to the left when I romped on it and laid it over. I sure miss that little scoot. I can't seem to be able to get any of these others up on one wheel. Anyway, like the wife said, I'm getting to old for that shtuff.
