I had to quit working at the dealer since road testing the new cruisers put alot of vertical strain on my lower back, when I hit bumps in the road, it was like jumping off a tailgate or something..

Depends on how the trike is made. My husbands is so comcomfortable a few times he had to pull over to see if I was still awake
