A "wheelie" is that thing where a biker lifts the front wheel up off the ground and rides with only the back wheel in contact with the ground. Wheelies on e-bikes are very dangerous. They result in falls, either falling down sideways or even falling over backwards, which result in injuries to the rider and also damage to the e-bike. It can cause damage to the electrical components, including the throttle and also the battery, and if that battery gets damaged, it causes huge problems; there is a Facebook channel called the Hydraulic Press channel that has videos of what happens when lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, such as what are used on e-bikes, get damaged or crushed. It also can cause severe injury to the rider, especially falling over backwards and then the bike falls backwards as well and crashes on top of the rider with a force equal to getting hit by a chair/table combo school desk that got knocked over. It is best to keep both wheels on the ground at all times when riding an e-bike.
