Which tricks are possible on mid drives?

I got myself haibike sduro hardnine SL recently. I heard that bunny hopping on niners is hard, plus increased weight, increased length of chain/seat stays, shifted towards front wheel bottom bracket. I was never able to bunny hop to be honest. Is it even possible on a bike like this? Should I invest my time trying to learn this trick?
Also I wanted to ask about other stuff like wheelie, manual, stoppie etc...

I would appreciate if you share your experience.

Yes

Bunny hops on my KTM Macina Lycan full suspension bike has certainly taken some practice to perfect, but is now relatively easily achieved at higher speeds. At low speed, I just tend to lift the front to get over an obstacle, then try to just unload the read end.
With no rear suspension, you shouldn't struggle too much with a hardtail. Get yourself some clipless pedals, as this 'cheat' makes things far easier.

It's certainly a useful thing to learn to do, and as said, the faster that you travel, the easier that it is to do.

i'm on flat pedals with spikes at the moment. Tried to do some hops today. Do you do them with motor on or off? It seems like when motor is on, lower pedal would spin too easily, to lift the back wheel off the ground.

This might help.

I've not really given any thought about whether the motor is on or off, but taking my ride a couple of days ago, I guess that the speed was about 25-30mph, so would have got out long before, and I was using it to jump over a series of speed ramps.

I don't think that is for me thank you.
