Answer:
At 90 rpms at the crank, you are cruising along at 20.6 mph. There is the reason you can't do wheelies. Gearing too tall. Suggest changing to a 46/23. Top speed only 14 mph, but much easier to do wheelies. You bought a single speed. You have to choose, wheelies or cruising. Can't have both. Would not be a problem if you had a proper multi speed bike.

A low one. But, any gear that's good for wheelies won't be good for actual riding, unless all you have is hills to climb and coast down.

The ratio you have to be concerned with is the power/body weight. The more lard you loose the easier to pop wheelies.
