The '''lowsider''' or '''lowside''' is a type of [[motorcycle]]  or [[bicycle]] [[Accident|crash]] usually occurring in a turn. It is caused when either the front or rear wheel slides out as a result of either too much [[Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics#Braking|braking]] into the corner, too much acceleration through or out of the corner, or too much speed carried into or through the corner for the available grip.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.driverknowledgetests.com/resources/motorbike-crashes-highside-and-lowside-crashes-explained/|title=Highside and lowside crashes explained|accessdate=2014-10-15}}</ref> It may also be caused by unexpected slippery or loose material (such as oil, water, dirt, gravel or leaves) on the road surface.

In the [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Australia]] it is referred to as a "lowside" rather than a "lowsider".
