Got my orphan yesterday

Picked up my red/black Pure orphan from the Jacksonville dealership yesterday. No dealer add ons to increase price. Just a great experience from the start. My only question now is do all of these ride over speedbumps so poorly. Even at very slow speeds, mine gives a bone jarring impact as each tire goes over a speedbump. Anyone else experience this?

Check your tire pressure. I believe that the inflation was inceased at the time of the long journey on the boats. Many of the dealers do not check that ( they should ) and many drive home feeling like a stiff ride...

I agree with Amethyste check your tire pressure. We don't have any speedbumps here, lots of potholes. All in all I think the Smart handles the bumps pretty good.
