A Lowrider is any car, truck, or bike which has had its suspension system modified (sometimes with hydraulic suspension) so that it rides as low to the ground as possible. Lowriders often have user controlled height adjustable suspension. A Lowrider's internal parts are likely to take damage from any form of an obstruction or imperfection in the road surface.
Lowriders started out as a Mexican-American phenomenon in East Los Angeles, and the majority of lowriders aficionados are still Latinos. Lowriders traditionally feature small gold or chrome spoke wheels, with or without knockoffs and whitewall tires. Other common custom exterior enhancements are; rear wheel skirts, extensive use of chrome or gold, antennas or fins and continental tire kits. Many lowriders feature custom hydraulic suspension systems that allow the driver to alter the ride height at will. These systems range from simple to complex and are usually measured by the number of hydraulic pumps (Generally 2 to 4) used to control the various hydraulic combinations that ultimately produce a specific motion from the vehicle. "These pumps are power by multiple batteries installed in a rack in the trunk of the vehicle. Low-Riders.org will help you in providing all kind of information about Low Riders.
