Original Lowrider Bikes

Lowrider bikes are a pedal version of the chopper motorcycle made famous by the American film “Easy Rider”.

Lowriders, choppers or cruisers, they are a South West American invention, just like the surf board, the in-line skates, skate boards and the Beach Boys. All these cool lowriders are straight from the California beach style.

Lowriders are not about riding a bike, its about the bike its self, the lowrider bike are a work of art in chrome and steel, they are shinny and brightly coloured, a wonder to look at and to show off with. A must for all the bikes is style.

To have a nice lowrider you must have a lot of chrome, high handle bars, small wheels, white wall tires, kick stand, chrome fenders and a “banana” saddle, for an added bit of class you need some chrome wing mirrors and to top it all off a spare wheel on the back.

A chopper is similar to a lowrider, but with longer front forks so the front wheel is pushed out in front and of course the high rise handle bars and as with a lowrider as much chrome as you can get.

Cruisers are again very similar, but with a more relaxed position, high bars and a long saddle, all these bikes have 24″ wheels with 144 spokes, suspension can also be fitted to your beach bike, but these will be a spring arrangement on the forks, not hydraulics.

Lowriders can also have three wheels and can be stretched to get an even lower rider position.
