Operations & Safety
instructions
Brakes – a lowrider bicycle uses a rear wheel coaster brake,
which means the rear wheel has a foot brake built into it. To
stop the bicycle simply back pedal and it will come to a stop.
There are no other gears on a lowrider bicycle. A front
and rear hand
brake may be added to a lowrider bicycle.
Riding conditions - Lowrider bicycles are for casual riding on
flat surfaces or very casual slopes. Going up hills is
difficult because the crank is only 3.5” long. Most people
enjoy their lowrider bicycle not so much for riding, but for
adding parts to make it into a show bike for entering bicycle
shows or just showing it off to friends. Although lowrider
bicycles have a front, rear, and wheel reflectors, night riding
is not recommended unless it is in a flat area like a park. Off
road riding is not for lowrider bicycles. |
