I just bought a leftover 2003 lakota sport and as far as donuts, theres plenty power if you get really good u can do them in 3rd gear. Wheelis on the other hand i dont know because mine is not broken in yet but i have tried them on a slight up hill and its not to bad with a big tug of thje handle bars. i heard on a different site that once they are broken in the wheels come up out of first and secon

i can ride wheelies dang near as for as i want on my lakota. actually when i got my mojave i had a hard time adjusting to the clutch on it, i almost think the lakota is better for the wheelies but thats because thats what i learned on i guess.

lakota's are good for playing around,also donuts it's good an awesome trail machine.It's easy to wheelie the lakota but can hurt you in the long run,basically what you do is shift up to first gear,but don't let it down,so when you got it up rev it up some and drop the shifter and it will come up pretty easy,but like i said it hurts your clutch.

Dropping the clutch will damage the bike eventually, don't do it. Learn to wheelie the bike with the throttle, and pulling on the bars, just like any other bike. The lakota is a very fun bike. Very good low end power, and makes a nice trail machine. My only complaints are the stupid battery box location, and the wieght.
