What does Cruiser Motorcycle Mean?
2 Answers
Cruiser motorcycle refers to a motorcycle style with a lower seat and higher handlebars. Here are some precautions for riding a motorcycle: Emergency braking: Check the motorcycle's braking system. In case of an emergency, apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously to prevent wheel lock-up due to separate braking or excessive force, which could cause the motorcycle to skid or flip due to inertia. Avoid high-speed riding: Maintain moderate speed and minimize high-speed riding, especially prolonged high-speed operation. Avoid running the engine under heavy load in high temperatures, which can cause overheating or even damage. For long-distance rides, stop periodically to allow the engine to cool down and prevent damage to the engine system due to excessive heat. Protective gear: Wear a helmet and protective equipment. Motorcycles lack seat belts and external frame protection, so in the event of an accident, the rider is directly exposed to the ground or other objects.
I've been riding motorcycles for many years, and the term 'cruise control' is quite common, referring to the automatic speed control function on cruiser-style motorcycles. Simply put, it allows you to set a fixed speed, and the bike automatically maintains the throttle without you constantly twisting the handle. This is especially great for long-distance rides or highways—no sore legs or back pain, and the riding experience is greatly enhanced. I remember once riding hundreds of kilometers on mountain roads, relying on it to reduce fatigue. But don’t get complacent; in complex road conditions, you need to take manual control. If you encounter pedestrians or sharp turns, the system doesn’t react as quickly. In essence, it’s like a smart assistant—fuel-efficient and safe, a major perk of modern riding. When installing, it's best to choose factory configurations; aftermarket installations can lead to electrical issues. Overall, this feature makes riding more relaxed and enjoyable.
