Surviving traffic
Tips
Traffic is the core threat in Motorcycle Mayhem. Every collision ends your run.
- Watch several cars ahead, not just the one directly in front of you
- Use the parking brake to shed speed when a gap closes faster than expected
- Scan left and right for open lanes before committing to a lane change
- Pull a wheelie when the road opens up
- If a gap looks too tight, slow down rather than force your way through
Building your bike collection
Step
The badges the game tracks reveal a clear progression path: gear up, buy your first bike, collect more, and sell the ones you have moved past.
- Buy gear the Gear Collector badge is tied to how much you have spent on equipment
- Buy your first motorcycle purchasing it unlocks the New Toy badge
- Grab a license plate the Licensed and Registered badge comes from picking one up
- Gift gear to another player sharing gear earns you the Gear Giver badge
- Sell a bike you no longer need the Another Man's Treasure badge rewards your first sale
Wheelie records
Tips
Hold CTRL to lift the front wheel.
- Pick a moment when the road ahead is clear before pressing CTRL
- Keep steering small and steady — sharp turns drop the front wheel and end the wheelie
Police bikes and bike personality
TableThe police bike stands out because of its siren, but the riding fundamentals stay the same across all bikes.
| Police bike | press H to sound the siren while riding |
| Unlocking | ride and earn currency to unlock bikes without spending real money |

Common questions
FAQHow do I earn the Wheelie King badge?
You need to set a new wheelie record, which means holding CTRL on a clear stretch of road and keeping the front wheel up for as long as possible.
Can I play with friends?
Yes, the game includes racing against friends.
What happens when I wipe out?
Your run ends and your score for that attempt is saved. The Wipeout badge is awarded the first time it happens.
