A recharge won't help. A "charge" only keeps pressure on the oil and has nothing to do with supporting the machine. The spring is either adjusted out for a 10lb rider or is simply junk.

get your shock rebuilt, you will notice a huge difference afterwards.

A rebuild won't help it sit any higher unless this rebuild includes a new spring.

Again I'll say, even if it needs a rebuild it's still the spring that gives you the ride height. A shock can be totally empty of oil and nitrogen and it will still sit the same.

Get a sticker for your trike. "No fat chicks". That will fix it.
