Keyboard inputs from a 19 Sep 2026 guide
That guide says Shift is pressed once to lift the front wheel, and that holding the throttle does not keep the wheelie up. W and S are short taps. Touch buttons and controller buttons are not in the guide.
Inputs the 19 Sep 2026 guide names
The official description confirms skill-based wheelies, first-person riding, and wearable helmets. It does not assign those features to keys. The key column below is the guide, not the description. An older version of this page said to hold Shift for the whole wheelie. The 19 Sep guide does not say that. It says press Shift once, then balance.
| Input | Action in the 19 Sep 2026 guide | In the official description |
|---|---|---|
| Shift | Press once, after some speed on flat road, to lift the front wheel. An on-screen timer and multiplier appear. The guide does not print the multiplier numbers. | Wheelies are named. The key is not. |
| W | Short taps during a wheelie. Acceleration is described as pulling the nose up. | Not named |
| S | Short taps during a wheelie. Braking is described as bringing the nose down. | Not named |
| 1 | One-handed riding animation | Not named |
| 2 | Hands-free riding animation | Not named |
| C | Toggles first-person. The guide says third-person is the easier view for wheelie quests because the scooter angle stays visible. | First-person riding is named. The key is not. |
| Helmet button | Swaps avatar head gear for a motorcycle helmet. Described as cosmetic. | Wearable helmets are named. The button label is not. |
| Settings gear | Police difficulty: NO COPS, EASY, MEDIUM, HARD. Higher tiers are described as more aggressive cars, with helicopters on the higher settings. | Not named |
| Touch layout | Not listed | unknown. The Halloween event line "Better Mobile" does not include a button map. |
| Controller layout | Not listed | unknown |
Wheelie cues the guide describes
These are the guide's words, paraphrased. They are not timings measured for this page.
| Cue | What the 19 Sep 2026 guide says | Number given |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Build speed on a flat stretch, then press Shift once. | No start-speed number |
| Balance | Do not hold W or S. Short taps keep the scooter in a balance window. | No tap timing |
| Rear-tire smoke | Smoke under the rear tire means the scooter is too far back and about to loop. Lean forward or tap the brake until the smoke goes. | No smoke duration |
| Slowing down | Bring the front tire nearer the ground, regain speed, then lift again. | No speed number |
| Clean landing | The front wheel set down under control, rather than a crash, is what Clean Machine is measuring. | Quest target is 20 clean wheelies in that guide. Reward conflict is on the quests page. |
| Practice roads | Long straight roads and gentle hills are described as more forgiving than intersections. | No track length |
Balance Practice in that guide is a 30-second wheelie for $750. Street Legend is 3 minutes of wheelie time in total for $3,000. The older table on this site used the same two objectives and the same two rewards. One-handed and hands-free rides are separate animations on keys 1 and 2. The older page said those animations do not count toward wheelie quests. The 19 Sep guide does not repeat that sentence, so it is not restated here as a current rule.
Police controls, separate from the cash counter
The guide says pursuits are optional and chosen in Settings. Getting caught is called Busted, and the chase ends. It says a straight road favors the cars, and that turning around buildings is the escape it describes. It does not print a bust timer, a fine, or a cash reward. The cash page keeps chase pay as unknown.
| Setting name in the guide | Detail the guide adds |
|---|---|
| NO COPS | Pursuits off |
| EASY | Named, without a car count |
| MEDIUM | Named, without a car count |
| HARD | Grouped with the higher tiers that send more aggressive cars and helicopters |
What the Halloween line does not specify
The events record says "Better Mobile" inside the Halloween Update description. Retrieved 15 Oct 2026, that record has no key table, no button names, and no statement that keyboard Shift changed. Until a keymap is published, phone and tablet controls stay unknown on this page. The experience updated timestamp on the games record is 2026-10-11 15:02:34 UTC, which falls inside the Halloween window of 10 Oct 19:00:27 UTC to 16 Oct 19:00:27 UTC. That timestamp does not describe the patch notes.
