My wife is an excellent passenger, and at times I am not sure if she is still with me. Her trick is to hold on with her legs instead of hugging me rigidly. By looking ahead a bit, she can predict braking, acceleration, and of course corners, and she positions herself accordingly. If need be she hugs me a bit but never too strong.
This way she is much more engaged in the whole thing, and feels a bit like driving herself, plus, the bike goes extremely well.
We did not like the backpack trick.

Rear seat is uncomfortable, but we stop often, and never ride too long.
Thankyou and everyone for ur opinions, gonna get my girl some gear give her some riding instruction then take her out for a ride
Ill let u know how it goes probably gonna be sometime next week
Thanks all
