How to Lift Rear Wheel on a Mountain Bike: Tips and Techniques
To lift the rear wheel of a mountain bike, you need to first pedal the bike forward and shift your weight slightly back. Once your dominant foot is at the six o’clock position, push down on the pedals as hard as possible and simultaneously pull up on the handlebars, tucking your knees towards your chest. This motion will lift the rear wheel off the ground. With practice, you can learn to lift the rear wheel even higher to tackle obstacles on the trail.
