It's probably one of the safety features i.e....hill assist or traction control, needs to be turned off. I'm not sure but I know someone will be on to give u a definitive.

Wheel hop is when your tires gain and loose traction at a rapid rate. It is very hard on parts and should be avoided if possible.

Usually to much air and a lot if wheel spin causes it. Air down and let off when it occurs.
