The Saddle Seat is uniquely designed for the SegSaddle. Balancing comfort with width at the back to facilitate mounting the SegSaddle equiped Segway. The firm narrow “nose” of the seat fits comfortably between the legs of the rider, and the sides are padded as well, so the rider can grip the seat for added support if needed.
Wallis Design, the designer of the Saddle Seat, also designs high end gear for long distance unicyclists. WD unicycle seats have supported unicycle riders traveling over 400 km through the Swiss Alps.
Features
- The Saddle Seat is made of two different density closed cell foams. The firmer one is on the bottom, for long term support, while the softer one is on top for long term comfort.
- The Saddle Seat is contoured to support the rider’s “sit bones” while providing “perineal relief” for long term sitting comfort.
- The cover is lycra. Other materials may be available by special order.
- Sitting on the Saddle Seat activates the Segway’s Rider Detect Sensors.
- The Saddle Seat has a height adjustment range of six inches (15 cm) in 9 steps.
- The Saddle Seat slides forward and back on a HDPE side over a four inch (10 cm) range to enable the rider to trim their center of gravity to a neutral position.
- The SegSaddle Seat Post is easily mounted or removed in seconds.
