Perfect Seats

For the ee(R)go ...


These are seats from Actionbent (I'm learning that "bent" = "cool" for recumbent!).

It may make sense to add some more upholstery to 'em ... the seats need to be designed "into" the wheel arches.

Something I really like about these seats is the radius in the lower back ... which will hug the rear wheel nicely. When designing the frame, we'll find a way to "tilt" these seats eaither back into recombent cycling position, or forward into chopper riding position.

Cost ... $165

Also from the Actionbent website ...
































The Recumbent Advantage:
  • Recumbents are fun to ride!
  • Comfortable seat; no more sore butt, back, neck, or arms!
  • Full cardio-healthy, no-impact workout without having to sit in a hot gym on a stationary machine.
  • They look Way Cool, and they're the most fun you can have on two wheels!.
  • Recumbents let you ride faster, longer, and farther.
  • All Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) speed records have been set on recumbent bicycles.
  • Low profile and laid-back body position are more aerodynamic. Seat angle adjusts easily
  • Did I mention fun? These things are a blast!
