It’s almost like you can’t quite put your finger on it. However, the way that mechanics and enthusiasts create beautiful rides is incredible. So what is a lowrider? A low-rider can be a person or a type of custom motorized vehicle. (sometimes low rider ).
First of all, the low-rider car came before the low-rider person. As discussed, it is a class or style of customized vehicle and also describes a certain “Cholo” type of individual who “cruises” up and down the boulevard in their custom car.
If you have a family member involved in lowriding it is likely that they are involved in some sort of manufacturing or remanufacturing activity, whether through a car club, mechanic school, or some other recreational organization.
Lowrider clubs are a great way for families to stay social, learn valuable people skills, practice discipline and commitment, and have some fun. But lowriding also poses incredible personal injury risks to others.
The customized vehicles the human low-riders cruise in are often covered with ornate paintings of various Mexican-American imagery, or intricate pictures of saints like the Virgin Mary, or semi and even fully nude Cholas or “Hynes.”
Many are equipped with hydraulics that can make the vehicle lean and bounce up and down on its wheels and tires with a button’s press or flick of a switch. And the wheels are tires also unique. Most popular are wire-spoke wheels coupled with whitewall tires—generally, the wheels or “rims” start around 13″ in diameter.
But modernly, some cruisers are using spinners and tiny dubs. Because of its unique characteristics, while a low-rider is always a lowered car, a lowered car is not always a low-rider.
The term is used to describe a class of vehicles, not simply the height from ground to chassis. The term low-rider can also refer to the driver of the car.
