Anyland Rev Pro e-motos have this one weird trick…auto wheelies!

We’ve seen quite a few low-cost mini e-Moto pit bikes that flirt with the $1000 price tag over the past months, but today’s has a really interesting trick: It auto-wheelies. It can’t be that simple can it? I grabbed my 14-year-old and some extra padding to find out. At first glance, the Anyland Rev Pro looks similar, though admittedly more refined, to your garden variety Tuttio/Yozma/HeyBike Villan mini pit bike. The spec sheet will look familiar: Motor: 3,000W peak mid-drive, 160 Nm peak torque Top speed: 34 mph (55 km/h), with 12 and 22 mph limited modes Battery: 48V 22.5Ah (1,080 Wh) lithium-ion Claimed range: Up to 48 miles Charge time: 5-5.5 hours with included 54.6V 4.5A fast charger Weight: 116 lb (52.6 kg) Max load: 265 lb Brakes: Hydraulic disc, front and rear Suspension: Inverted hydraulic fork, adjustable rear shock Tires: 14″/12″ puncture-resistant Extras: 2.6″ color LCD, LED headlight, IPX5 water resistance Price: $1,399 (from a $1,799 MSRP, with some colorways dipping to $1,299) $100 off with code Electrek You’ve got the same mini Sur Ron look, similar 14/12 mullet tire setup, similar 1kWh battery, 3kW motor. Suspension is an inverted hydraulic fork up front with an adjustable rear shock, and braking comes from hydraulic discs at both ends with thick moto-style pads – appropriate hardware for a bike that will spend much of its life with the front wheel in the air and thus braking heavily on the rear. Most people at the rideout are going to just assume you’ve got a fancy Yozma IN10. But Anyland Rev Pro isn’t just a Yozma with a fast charger and an interesting name. The controller was built with a company called Moxin which is all the rage with the Sur Ron wheelie crowd these days. Moxin controllers typically cost around $1000 BY ITSELF so putting something similar in a $1300 e-moto is certainly a noteworthy trick. Now, Anyland’s bike doesn’t have an actual Moxin controller. The team there says that they worked with Moxin and calls their controller… The WELIXON™ Wheelie-Assist Control System brings auto-wheelie assist, gyro-based stability, and real-time angle monitoring to help new riders practice with more control and confidence. Co-designed with Moxin, an industry leader in auto-wheelie controller technology, it gives beginners a smarter way to build skills and gives parents greater peace of mind. The controller co-designed with Moxin and fine-tuned specifically for the Rev Pro’s motor, battery output, throttle behavior, frame balance, and riding setup. That tuning helps improve compatibility, stabilize power delivery, and make wheelie assist feel more predictable. As someone who left chunks of my knees and elbows on the El Segundo streets testing a more powerful-than-it-looks Talaria MX-4 a few years ago, I’m particularly uncomfortable with “looping out” as the kids say. So that’s where I throw my 14-year-old offspring at this job and justify his “salary” and Roth IRA. The way it works is refreshingly simple. You pick one of three preset wheelie angles – 25°, 35°, or 45° – bounce the front and then pin the throttle. The bike’s IMU monitors your pitch in real time, modulating motor output to lift the front wheel and hold it at your chosen angle. The system is essentially doing the throttle-finesse part of a wheelie for you, which is exactly the part that sends beginners (like me!) looping out onto their backs. That leaves you free to work on the part electronics can’t do for you: side-to-side balance. And that’s why I’d push back on anyone dismissing this as a toy. It’s closer to training wheels in the best sense – a progression tool. Start at 25°, work your way up, and when you’ve built the muscle memory, switch the assist off entirely and the Rev Pro behaves like any other throttle-controlled electric dirt bike for practicing manual wheelies. How did it work? Really quickly. My son and his friend, who already wheelie on BMX and mountain bikes but were afraid to on e-Motos, took to the 25-degree angle pretty quickly, even though that “didn’t feel natural at all”. Then, after 10 minutes at 25 degrees, moved to 35 degrees, which “felt way more natural”. But the devil is in the details here. While the controller won’t let you loop out, it doesn’t help with the left and right balance and steering of the wheelie, and that’s what takes some training. Then the very iconic 45-degree wheelie. Today, they are now learning to wheelie on other e-Bikes but with this experience have skipped most of the lopping and leaving skin on the road. Is a wheelie machine a bit ridiculous? Sure. But learning wheelies the traditional way involves a lot of falling, and falling is the number one reason people give up on it. If a controller can compress that learning curve while keeping riders off the pavement, that’s a legitimate safety story wearing a party hat. Also it should be noted that Anyland threw in some nice perks besides the wheelies. The look of the bike is more refined than a Tuttio, and the waterproofing is nice. The 4.5A charger is much nicer, quieter, and obviously twice as fast at charging as the 2A chargers you will typically find with these more generic bikes (and also you will find with Anyland’s $899 variety). Also for shis-and-giggles, Anyland included a front lighting system that not only does a yellow and white light for nighttime but also includes a red-and-blue flashing light that mimics the local cops that will be confiscating your bike if you ride these on public roads. Electrek’s Take The mini electric dirt bike segment has a differentiation problem – dozens of brands selling nearly identical hardware on thinner and thinner margins. Anyland’s answer is the smartest kind: don’t race to the bottom on price, add a feature people actually want and can’t get elsewhere at this price point. And the wheelie assist is that feature. Moxin’s anti-loop controllers have already proven themselves in the aftermarket, where riders pay a hefty premium to retrofit them. Getting that tech factory-integrated on a $1,300 bike with respectable-for-the-class components is a legitimately good deal, and it makes the Rev Pro an easy recommendation for its target rider: the beginner or teen who wants to learn wheelies without donating skin to the pavement gods. If you have zero interest in wheelies, the calculus changes – there are comparable bikes at or below this price, including Anyland’s own $899 Rev 01, which shares the same motor, battery, and top speed while skipping the party trick and the fast charger. But then again, if you have zero interest in wheelies, I’m not sure why you’re shopping for a 116 lb electric dirt bike in the first place. The Rev Pro knows exactly what it is: a fun machine with a genuinely novel trick that doubles as a safety feature. In a segment full of clones, that counts for a lot.
