Wheelie Bikes for Sale: 26 & 29 Inch Builds

WHEELIE BIKES

A wheelie bike is a specially designed bicycle built to make wheelies easier to lift, hold, and control. Our wheelie bike collection features a longer wheelbase, sturdy frame, and lower center of gravity, so riders can balance longer and pull off cleaner tricks. Every bike here is a complete, ready-to-ride build in 26" or 29", from $799, with free shipping and Shop Pay or Affirm installments.

Not sure which size? Most adults ride a 29" for stability at speed; riders on the shorter side often prefer a 26" that is lighter to lift. Browse 29-inch BMX bikes or 26-inch BMX bikes, or read our wheelie bike buyer's guide. Most of our ready-to-ride bikes come from Throne Cycles, and you can see them in person at our Whittier, CA showroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you buy

What is a wheelie bike?
A wheelie bike is a BMX-style bike built to make lifting and holding the front wheel easier. It usually has 26" to 29" wheels, a longer wheelbase, and geometry that helps you find your balance point. Read our complete wheelie bike guide for more.
What size wheelie bike do adults need?
Most adults ride a 29" wheelie bike, which feels stable and rolls smoothly at speed. Shorter riders often prefer a 26" or 27.5" bike because it is lighter and quicker to lift. Sizing varies by frame, so check the size details on each product page before you buy.
Is a 26" or 29" wheelie bike better?
A 29" wheelie bike is the better all-round pick for most adults, since the bigger wheels feel steady and help you hold a wheelie longer. A 26" wheelie bike is lighter and easier to flick around, which suits shorter riders and tighter spaces.
How much does a wheelie bike cost?
In-stock wheelie bikes on this page run from $799 to about $1,400, depending on the frame, wheels, drivetrain, and brakes. Our Throne Cycles Goon 29" builds sit at the entry end of that range.
What is the best wheelie bike for beginners?
We recommend the Throne Cycles Goon 29". Its long wheelbase and low center of gravity make balancing easier, and it arrives as a complete, ready-to-ride bike. Beginners should practice at low speed in an empty lot or park and wear a helmet and pads.
How is a wheelie bike different from a regular BMX?
A regular 20" BMX is built for park, street, and race riding. A wheelie bike uses larger 26" to 29" wheels and a longer frame, which makes balancing on the rear wheel easier and gives a smoother, more stable ride at speed.
Can I pay for a wheelie bike in installments?
Yes. You can split your purchase into interest-free installments with Shop Pay or Affirm, subject to approval. See our financing page for details.
Are wheelies illegal in the USA?
No federal law bans wheelies, but many states and cities treat stunt riding on public roads as reckless or unsafe. Practice in empty lots or parks, and check your local rules.
